Hi Liz, I see you're in Sarasota now. Are you working at Carla's Clay? We wintered in North Port which was just a little further than I wanted to commute, otherwise that's where I would have chosen.
Liz, you were already a member, so now we have 2 memberships for you. That will lead to unbelievable confusion and frustration as you try to communicate with other members. One of you has to go. You do have some history under the old membership. I suggest deleting the new membership if you can access the old one.
