3/10/20 CORONAVIRUS UPDATE: Currently, I am still planning to attend all of these events. I'll bring lots of sanitizer and we will greet one another with curtsies and bows rather than hugs and kisses. If you purchase a ticket and/or RSVP, I will keep you updated with any changes. Check this page often as well as my EVENTS tab on Facebook. Hope to see you all!
