shadow labs just book with Pat on the calendar for October shadow lab. We'll do the other shadow labs ourselves; sending email to Pat to tell her to cancel all shadow labs after October, because we will do them ourselves around the end of the month on a sunny day. We will all keep the same time of day to go out. Jill - goes 9:45 am; Patti goes 1:15; BethAnne goes at 2:15. We will do October with Pat. We do not have a November date, but we will do shadows early December. We will do shadows Jan. 23, week of February 18, April 23, and week of May 20.
