Happy new year all! Look out for a message this week about an exciting new event we have coming up - we're going to hold a planning session to recruit volunteers for an Acumen SF activities committee. Stay tuned!

Apologies to all! I just sent a message to all members of this group thinking that it would only reach the administrators.

Best regards to all! Paulina
