How is it possible that it's already the second week of September? I hope that you had a great first week of school. We are getting settled and trying to fill some remaining vacancies. This week, we are continuing to interview for the open APAA and Security Supervisor positions.
Thank you for your continued patience with the doors. When they get up and running it will totally be worth it (i.e. more doors on the system), but it is a big inconvenience in the short term.
