Well if this week wasn't a stress test!

We are going to get there and have so many more people to get through registration.

What people may not know is that we had an amazing admin team, but after months of running at a loss something needed to happen and quickly.

We made the difficult decision to cut 80% of the team.

9 months later we have been slowly adding back to it.

In the next two weeks we will welcome two more staff and hopefully that will start to get us back up to speed.

We will add two more by the end of the year to fill all the vacation positions we once had just done a little differently.
