CML Wiki Sandbox

Okay I'm racing to the finish line on the day before the deadline . . . just applied for access to the CML sandbox. Anyway, what fun to read about fellow staffer's book favorites-- a perfect segue to the RA tactic that will begin in the first quarter of next year. I'm in and added a few comments to the favorite books.

Who knew? I can see this working well for my volunteer Inniswood group as well as editing the presentation for the RA tactic.
