Russell headshotColleagues - 

Thank you to those of you who joined me at the Globe News Center for the performance of Die Fledermaus this past weekend. It was an amazing production, and I enjoyed sharing it with you.

Bond projects are beginning! Many of you have asked about the bond and our Master Plan projects. Below is an update from Tiffani Crosley on current committees and projects. We will continue to press forward and communicate with you as these develop. 

Much love,

russell
