Kathy, Thank you so much for working to set this up. I am all for the meeting and whatever date we can work with the Aquarium would be fantastic. Please let me know if you need further help or input.

I think we had more budgeted so that would be cool. It does include a shifted date at the aquarium which I will have to check. Let me talk with Julie, hopefully this would work!!!!
