The Grand Rapids Give Camp is this weekend (Nov 13th-15th)! If you are interested and haven’t signed up, there is still time. Ed Sumerfield is organizing the local satellite group here in Cincinnati. Check out more information at http://edsumerfieldconsulting.com/ for local instructions and get registered at the main Grand Rapids Give Camp site.
