Greetings!
You are getting this email because you are a friend, supporter, and active
participant of, with and for the Council on Asian-Pacific Minnesotans. As
you all know, Jovita Bjoraker, our office manager, retired in December.
I've looked to and relied on her to maintain good communication with you
all. But now that she's retired, I am looking for ways to stay connected
with and to give and receive information to and from you all in a timely
and efficient manner. All this pondering lead me to brainstorm the idea of
sending you all a "CAPM Happenings" email once or twice a month letting
you know about all the things that we are involved in or connected with.
Please bear with me, as this is experimental and I welcome feedback and
suggestions. So with these words of greetings, I introduce you to the
first installment of the "CAPM Happenings".
Sincerely,
K. Ilean Her
