March 5: Regionals in Today's news

It is with mixed motions that I announce Lisa Friedman was laid off last Friday and will no longer be updating the RRA blog. In what might be the quickest turnaround ever, the good news is that Lisa did get a new job and starts later this month but the blog may be a little late over the next few weeks as the RRA board figures out what to do. This blog would not be what it is today without Lisa's hardwork and dedication to compiling it everyday without fail. So on behalf of all of us: THANKS LISA! and good luck. -Suzanne Struglinski, RRA President
