Correction Note:
Please note that in my last newsletter, I mentioned that Hottovation was a Town of Morrisville Program.  Hottovation was a Morrisville Chamber and Morrisville Innovation Foundation Program and I was honored to be a part of the team that helped start ups and entrepreneurs in Morrisvile.  I look forward to the Chamber bringing this program back.
