Comments
Julie M. Gilley was at the Fairplay board meeting last night. Fairplay is not happy with LGCS at this time. They feel they are in the dark about our expansion. A lot of their board members are new this year and are unaware of what we are doing. They invited Julie back for the April 8 board meeting and would like a presentation about our plans. They have not received a budget from us for the past 3 years.
