Kathy: Thanks for posting this. This would be of interest to the wider ACEs Connection community, as well, I think if you'd like me to clone the post to the home page. Amazing and exciting. Thanks for sharing! Cissy

That’d be great, Cissy. Should I write something specific for the larger community? There are some assumptions in that piece (like, you’re from Vermont and know what the Savoy Theater is!).
