I am inquirying to be a part of your Earthy Day event. I had left a message for Shannon and have not heard as of this date. Is it too late to join in for this fun day? I would like to present Shaklee’s Green Cleaning Products.

Sounds interesting. I hope KDL is practicing what it preaches. I’ve heard about a number of green building projects at KDL which sounds very exciting.
Keep up the good work!
