Due to an elementary school chicken dinner late this afternoon (“winner, winner chicken dinner” as my co-worker and friend Charlie would say) and a furlough day tomorrow, I will not be back in the office until Monday. As such, I will not have any new information on deposits, transfer decisions, wait-list questions, or if a new Uga has been selected as mascot. I will try to answer any and all questions on my return (except for Uga, as I have no clue). Have a great weekend, and Go Dawgs!
