Happy Friday, everyone!

I was away at a conference yesterday—my apologies for the brief pause in sharing kudos messages. Today, I’d like to give a big shoutout to the MCC Facilities Department. Thank you for all that you do to keep things running smoothly!

Stay tuned—more kudos are on the way as we continue to celebrate the MCC community!
