August 2014
If you have not yet had a chance to take our Annual Satisfaction Survey, we'd like to extend one last invitation to do so. While the survey will take you no more than 15 minutes to complete, your feedback will help us to shape and refine our programs and services throughout the coming year. 

This year, we're offering survey participants a little extra incentive to participate. Once you've completed the survey, you'll have the opportunity to enter a drawing for one of three exciting prizes.

The survey closes this Friday, August 22nd, so please, don't delay.
