After 6 awesome years of service, our head Medicine Maker/Production Manager is moving on to have her baby. She wants to go out on a win!! We regularly come in second, but let’s give Liz a wonderful send off and bring it home to 1st!! Please help us do that. It’s very good karma to make a pregnant woman happy. The survey will be live until midnight March 31st, 2016.
