It's February

Hey Region 1!
Can you believe that is it February? This year is flying by. I hope you are all doing well. Just wanted to make sure that you all knew about all of the exciting professional development opportunites that your Region 1 RTC has planned. Some of them don't have official marketing titles yet but I wanted you to know that they are coming.
