We had hoped to draw at least 100 people to our first ever AAPN Fireside Chat. It looks like 3 times that number already. THIS is going to be fun. Do us a favor - share this information and invitation with everyone you care about in this industry. This is as hard a time as it has ever been, so maybe some good news, and great discussion, will help. Thanks and hang tough...Mike Todaro
