Hey Mike, Sorry to hear. We, who have launched in non metro areas have many, many hurdles to over come! Seems each year for us we come to the 11th hour and something comes through to keep us going. Being the first is the hardest and you guys, like others, will and should be remembered as pioneers. You sacrificed and invested in your members and that will see a return for Tracy.
Blessings on your next adventure! Chad On 2014-11-16, at 3:39 PM, Mike Pihlman <[email protected]> wrote: > I wrote this on my Facebook page.
