Hi All,

I have something last minute that I need to take care of tonight and I won't be able to make it to the meeting afterall. I was supposed to bring the Oreos so hopefully someone else has a stash at home to supply.

As far as Allstate, I followed up with them last week with some information they requested but have not heard back since then. I will give Susan a call next week to see if she has an idea of whether or not they are still interested.

Apologies for my absence tonight.

Emily
