APW Happy Hour

High five, it's Friday!

Hey APW,

We’re in that quiet moment after the storm of work and hustle and bustle that went into rolling out our shiny new vendor directory. It’s here where we all breathe a quick sigh of relief, and then get right back to hustling until that Friday bell rings. And when it does, you’re all welcome to meet me here for a celebratory high five. We made it to the end of the week! I’ll drink to that.

cheers,

Lucy
