I have to say I was little taken back by only getting 2 responses back especially since I sent this to the board. Glenn and Darlene have some very good ideas that I do think we should incorporate and Maureen correct if I'm wrong, but I think this technology of tracking is available through the database.
I feel like the points I was trying to make have gotten lost in translation. They are...
