Hi! The First Timer applications are due to the MCB office by August 20.
Also, I apologize to anyone who's been trying to reach me for the past two weeks. My hard drive died and I've been without my computer, but I have it back now, and hopefully the data recovery folks will have good news for me in a few days as well! A bit of advice: back up your hard drive regularly, even if you have a brand new computer. A hard drive suddenly dying in a computer you use for everything can be devastating. I foolishly had put off backing up my data for close to 3 months on this Dell laptop I got in late January, and well, it happened to me. Hope everyone's enjoying our cooler weather!

Totally fine, just thought I should let you know! <smiles> The transportation will be worked out with the individual and how they would like to travel, be it the train, bus, or if someone will be driving them, we can cover the gas and such.
