Can I hear from some teams that have active parent organizations so we can find out if we're on the right track. Thanks to all of your for a truly thought-provoking thread.
LOL, Elaine, you've come to the right place! (and the luggage pom-poms also make great sneaker accessories!) So I won't bore the rest of you, I will PM you with details of NEMO. We can help!
