Hey, GLC Friends! Liz here...hope you all had a great BreyerFest! I know I did...saw lots of GLC shirts around the Horse Park, and I wore mine when I guested on the Breyer broadcast...so good to spread the word! We look forward to seeing you at our August show. Please bear with me as I do the registrations. I was coming home from a work trip on Friday when I was rear-ended at a stop light. I was diagnosed with a concussion and today I found out my left hand is fractured, too. I should be well on the mend shortly. This splint may come off in a week. ALL fall shows are still open! entry lists will go up soon! I'm just taking it a bit slow right now. Please register and pay fees at www.greatlakescongress.com. Thanks!
