Hello :)

As of this date I have not received ANY papers for this session.

SAMLA sent me e-mail asking what we are doing with this session.

I have let them know that I have not received any papers.

I don't know if people in the AHSA would like to have a meeting scheduled at this SAMLA?

Or what should be done.

Thank you ,
Jules
