Here's some general information: Osi Rosenburg and I are investigating and acquiring facts for our next shredding event—details to come.
Our spotlight of fame came from David Chess, who introduced his daughter, Sarah Day Chess. Sarah is the new owner and manager of the Open Door Tea Room and promises to bring great relaxation, great-tasting food, and phenomenal tea.
David then gave us an in-depth look into his phenomenal career as a Doctor and his visionary business creations, leaving us with his aspirations to run for Mayor.
In closing, some housekeeping notes. Please continue to reach out to me with questions, but before going to a source you believe to be the one for you, please ensure you have all the information so that confusion is avoided relating to your subject.
Our next in-person meeting will be August 5th.
