[Jacob-list] AGM

[Laura C Frazier]

Linda,
I expect a full accounting of the weekend on your blog!! (And anyone  
else who blogs!) LOL!!!
Glad it was great for everyone. I'd love to have seen a barn full of  
over 50 Jacobs from all over the country! Hopefully, someday.

Will there be a DVD of the major informational sessions and such. Can  
we still by last year's?
