The 2007-2008 EMARI Instructor Refresher was held this year at the American Red Cross facility in Worcester, MA on Saturday, September 8th. I want to thank Janet Reed for her help to procure the facility for this event; it was a beautiful location and a perfect day though very hot. I would also like to thank the entire IT team for their hard work and dedication; Sheila Daly; Dave Walker; Chris Fletcher; Deb Foss; Joe Greenwood; Michelle Esposito; Dave Polsey; Edee McNamara; Gail Riley; Janet Read; Scott Crofts; John Shipman; and Bill Devarney.
