Temporary Suspension of Monthly Cascade User Group Meetings

Dear Cascade Users,

I trust this message finds you in good health.

I am writing to inform you that the Monthly Cascade User Group meetings, scheduled for the second Thursday of each month, will be temporarily suspended until further notice. This decision has been made in light of the forthcoming Web Template Redesign project.

Should you have any questions or wish to discuss specific topics that would have been covered in these meetings, please do not hesitate to contact the Web Department.

Thank you for your understanding and continued engagement.

Sincerely,

Jinah Young

Director, Mobile and Web Applications
