Hi GREN Exec,
I know there's much ado about the Greenbelt right now, but I'm trying to
keep the momentum on our website going with Scott.
Kevin - do you want me to contact Deaun or Patrick to get access to the
material?
Also, need some times to set up meeting with Scott - Kevin? John?
Thanks,
Susan K
