August 3rd & 4th
We will be closed Monday, August 3rd and Tuesday, August 4th. Our IT vendor and consortium leader, Marmot, is moving their servers which will cause major service interruptions. With most of our services not functional on these two days, the customer service experience we would be able to provide you would not be up to the level we love to provide. Because of this we have made the difficult decision to be closed. We will reopen on Wednesday, August 5th at 10AM. |
