Thank you to all who came to the Lombard seminar! It was wonderful to see all the familiar and new faces! Thank you to all the circuits who donated a basket for our silent auction supporting our OTP students. $1505 was raised!!

A special shout-out to Brookelyn for planning the seminar, and to Josey for helping. Thank you to Randi for administering exams before the seminar. All the time and effort we put into planning the seminars each year is worth it to see so many people happy, smiling, and having a great day. Of course, none of this would be possible without our amazing presenters!
