<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">We are trying to look at Summer Institute dates and we have it narrowed down to one of these 2 weeks.
<span style="color:red">June 23-26 or July 21-24</span>. We are taking a poll. We will
<b><i><u>try</u></i></b> to the degree possible to meet the dates you choose, but we know that we cannot please everyone, so I will apologize up front, we are sorry! We do not and will not have the location of Summer Institute until late next spring, I’m sorry
about that also. We have to send out bids throughout the state, it takes some time. We’ll set a date first and then work from there.
