Greetings everyone! I hope this finds you and all in your circle safe, healthy and eager for Christmas (whatever shape that takes this year!). The briefing for December 17 will most likely be the last formal briefing for this year in view of the pending holidays, but my weekly Tidbits will continue! Please give some thought to topics of interest for next year and send me a text or email. In addition to my recurring Thursday briefings, the required, official Financial Readiness Touchpoints will be on the schedule for 2021, watch your email for topics. Amy will be sending the pending month’s schedule out for the Resiliency Team so January’s will be coming soon. Please find the recurring meeting information at the end of this document.
