New Student Chat, with Holly Cowan
Courtney Grammer: Welcome to the CCNH Chat Room. We are glad you’ve joined us. CCNH offers holistic nutrition and natural health education; we do not diagnose or dispense nutritional/health advice. We invite you to peruse our Resource links in the Students and Alumni Services area to get a jumpstart on researching any personal health issues.
Holly Cowan: Hello – My name is Holly and I will be hosting tonights chat – “welcome new students and welcome back students”
Patrick Hatwan: same here
Hamdellia Bernard: :)
Theresa Delaware–Dooley: I have children there and go as much as I can
Rebecca Covey: My first week too!
Angela Haynes: Actually I was there with friends New Years Eve
Rebecca Covey: Hello
Theresa Delaware–Dooley: Hello
Hamdellia Bernard: Hello
Holly Cowan: I thought I would open the floor for any questions that you all may have...
Terri Scott: Hello Holly..Thank You!
Jurist Willis–Gordon: This is my first week in the program
Angela Haynes: Well time to start class I guess
Holly Cowan: Does anyone have any specific questions about getting started with your program?
Patrick Hatwan: I have been at it for one month
Patrick Hatwan: and I just now have one test to submit
Theresa Delaware–Dooley: This is my first week in chat room
Rebecca Covey: Can you give us some hints about online testing?
Margaret Jones: any suggestion on how to set up study schedule?
Hamdellia Bernard: I’ve only just got my books last week
Denise Passerello: Holly, do we need to over think Staying Healthy with Nutrition?
Nira Colon: Hello, just joined in
Angela Haynes: Holly some of us are having problems getting motivated to read and study on our own any suggestions?
Theresa Delaware–Dooley: Yes, I would like to know how to get started in testing on line have tried several times and can’t seem to get any where can you help
Jurist Willis–Gordon: I have just received my books and I’m not sure how to begin
Patrick Hatwan: I commit two hours daily
Meredith Brown: Holly, I’ve just received my textbooks, is there a suggested pace for study?
Jamala Armstrong: Hello, this is my first time here, just enrolled
Angela Haynes: I think we are nervous about the online testing and doing it all on our own
Holly Cowan: Margaret – good question...I always have suggested getting a weekly planner – I use one for daily purposes – try to look at your weekly schedule and determine what days are best for you – free time, etc – that you can devote to your CCNH studies – I.e. Read on Sunday evening and take a test on Tuesday...
Holly Cowan: Angela – I think that once you make it through a course you will have your momentum – but like I said earlier it may help to schedule a specific time of the week to read, study, take exams, etc. Setting a side and devoting that time to your studies can be beneficial
Theresa Delaware–Dooley: Yes but Ms Cowan when getting your books to start with it is a little bit much at first
Nira Colon: I just started. I try to get two hours a night and a little more on weekend. It is hard after full day work
Angela Haynes: I think this chat is helping me just knowing others are in the same boat as myself
Nancy Harrison: Holly, question: I just received my enrollment agreement. To ensure a proper understanding of the terms and conditions, do you suggest a review by an attorney?
Margaret Jones: would you recommend study groups?
Holly Cowan: Theresa – regarding online testing – first you need to make sure that your coursework is available in online testing by using the Course availability link under Online Testing on the CCNH Web site – once you have determined that your coursework is available in online testing you simply fill out and submit the Course Selection Form – this form is found under Online Testing on the CCNH Web site (under Student & Graduate Services) –
Angela Haynes: I am up for study chats Margaret what are you studying?
Holly Cowan: Meredith – I know that for me – it’s best to study in a place with no distractions – sometimes going to the library is helpful other times I just need to get in a room that is quite and shut the door (no t.v. or radio)
Margaret Jones: MS in Holistic Nut
Theresa Delaware–Dooley: Thanks you I’ll try again tomorrow and see if I or my sister from EKU can help If not then I’ll call college again and see if that works thanks
Jurist Willis–Gordon: I like the idea of study chat
Jamala Armstrong: Is anyone doing the doctor of naturopathy degree
Patrick Hatwan: YES}
Theresa Delaware–Dooley: yes
Patrick Hatwan: I am
Hamdellia Bernard: yes
Rebecca Covey: Study chat, good idea, yes, I’m doing the ND first
THAIDAANETTE STOVALL: Yes
Margaret Shay: yes
Angela Haynes: Great Jurist your ND?
Patrick Hatwan: DN here
Patrick Hatwan: sorry
Meredith Brown: I mean is there a suggested timeline, or can I go at a faster or slower pace than others...
Holly Cowan: Nancy – I don’t think it’s necessary to have an attorney review the enrollment agreement but if you feel comfortable in asking an attorney to look at it that’s okay – you can speak to your admissions advisor should you need further information or if you are confused about an item
Angela Haynes: Yes Jamala
Jurist Willis–Gordon: Is anyone doing Ph.D. Holistic Nutrition
Laurie Saylor: I am going for the doctor of Naturopathy – however it is the one for health care professionals. any one else??

Nira Colon: I’m doing my Ph.D. in holistic nutrition, just started
Jamala Armstrong: I know it varies in how you use your ND but any ideas as of now as far as what you’ll do with it (ND)
Angela Haynes: Great Theresa let’s set a time before we log off
Holly Cowan: Theresa – I think that once you go through the motions it will go more smoothly the next time around – The Online Testing Manual in the back of your Student Handbook is a helpful resource as well ...
Nancy Harrison: Margaret, I am studying for the MS in Holistic Nutrition
Terri Scott: Laurie...what do you mean “the one for health care professionals?”
Theresa Delaware–Dooley: ok that would be great
Jurist Willis–Gordon: Hi Angela, Terri nice to meet you

Jamala Armstrong: Yes I’m a new student
Terri Scott: Theresa...I would like to be in on that study group, too..??

Jurist Willis–Gordon: Perhaps we can study together sometime Terri
Cindy Griffin: Yes I am new, just received my student handbook today
Rebecca Covey: Holly, what type of things should we talk with our faculty advisor about? Should we ask questions about readings and assignments once in a while? Is that okay?

Rebecca Covey: Even though I start my Ph.D. Holistic Nutrition second, I’d like to see some of the chats
Holly Cowan: Rebecca – I always suggest contacting your faculty advisor with any questions that you may have regarding your program – they can assist you or direct you to the appropriate person for assistance. Faculty are familiar with the courses that they grade and can answer any questions that you may have about the coursework.
Shelly Detken: Hello everyone! I just started started the BS/Holistic Nutrition program
Laurie Saylor: Liz I am going for the Natural Wellness Cert. for Health

Nancy Harrison: Holly, What is the average completion time for an MS program? What is the maximum allowed?
Denise Passerello: Holly, I appreciate all of your help, but maybe in the future CCNH may consider having more chats or at least more teachers on one chat. It has been great............
Terri Scott: Theresa...I just don’t know how we arrange something like that,do you??..do we just say a certain time and try to be there??
Denise Passerello: Have a wonderful evening!
Alexandra Barroukh: IS ANYONE FROM MIAMI
Rebecca Covey: I think you can pick a chat room and a time to organize a study chat
Holly Cowan: Theresa – chats are really beneficial to students as it’s a way for them to network with their peers, discuss the a particular topic/ share knowledge about a particular subject in natural health or nutrition, etc. It also allows for a sense of connection to your peers
Angela Haynes: Terri yes and Jurist & I are interested as well
Meredith Brown: bye Denise

Margaret Shay: Shelly, I am taking the BS Holistic Nutrition/ ND

Hamdellia Bernard: ok

Jamala Armstrong: Holly about how long does it take to complete the ND with a 40–45 hr job
Beverly Bucher: Thanks. Also, on the projects, can these be done online as well or do these get mailed in? I think someone might have answered that but I couldn’t tell.

Laurie Saylor: Liz, I have just started .... I ave not even received the books yet. how about you??
Dana Gall: anybody registered for doctor of naturopathy? and Holly how long it takes to grad?
Hamdellia Bernard: Let’s keep in touch
Angela Haynes: That’s 8pm EST
Holly Cowan: Jamala – it’s tough to provide an exact time especially when someone is working – it just really depends on how much time that individual has per week to set aside for their studies – I mentioned earlier that students report it takes them anywhere from three to eight weeks to complete a course – maybe this will help you in estimated a particular timeframe for you ND program – I will say that it seems most ND students complete their degree program within three years.
Jamala Armstrong: I’m doing the ND but I haven’t started yet
Alexandra Barroukh: THERESA WHAT IS YOUR EMAIL
Liz Zeigler: I am doing the second course now. Just started my studies in Jan.
Terri Scott: Shelly..it was like that for me...had a lot of stuff going on and it took me awhile to sort through and get a feel for how things worked before I could concentrate enough to begin actually studying/reading course material...
Jheni Solis: Everyone, I’m logging off... It was good chatting with all of you. Have a great evening!
Rebecca Covey: Holly, don’t leave us yet! I am trying to keep up with all this:) I missed something about posting projects. Do we type them in or attach them?
Shelly Detken: You too Jheni....I’ll email you sometime!
Angela Haynes: Me too Terri
Holly Cowan: Dana – did you mean how long does it take to complete an ND program or how long does it take for a graduation to be processed once the student has completed all coursework requirements for a program
Jheni Solis: Shelly, I look forward to your e–mails!
Terri Scott: It is helpful to know I am not alone...
Jurist Willis–Gordon: Terri, here is my email jumawill@aol.com feel free to contact me
Laurie Saylor: Which course did you take first?
Dana Gall: how long to complete program
Liz Zeigler: NH101
Shelly Detken: Terri – I find it easy to become distracted with other things around the house. I need to really work on keeping my “seat” in my seat!
Terri Scott: I will be here at 8 Thurs.eve.....Theresa and all....and will check in during the day and see if anyone is here...will try and learn how this works!!!
Beverly Bucher: Hi Holly, do we mail in the projects, do them online; attach them? I am confused!
Holly Cowan: Dana – I listed above that most students in an ND program usually take around three years – but some move more quickly and others a little bit more slowly – all degree programs have a five year timeframe in which we request they to be completed
Margaret Jones: Nancy H I am not sure if any one else is enrolled in MS in Holistic Nutrition
Holly Cowan: Rebecca – I am not leaving – we have another 30 mins – the chat is for an hour – 8PM Central Standard Time to 9PM Central Standard TIme
Dana Gall: thank you Holly! anybody from Colorado in ND?
Laurie Saylor: any words of wisdom? This has been a dream for quite a few years. good to get started.
Rebecca Covey: Holly, if I am doing dual programs, does the time frame start for the second one after I complete the first one?
Shelly Detken: Laurie – good for you...following your dream!
Terri Scott: Jurist...thank you...where are you from?..
Elizabeth Corso: nancy, I am in the MS in holistic nutrition
Nancy Harrison: Margaret, I am going to sign off. Would love to chat with you as we progress through the program. As I noted, I live near Chicago. Where are you from?
Holly Cowan: Beverly – you have the option of mailing in your coursework or submitting it online – this includes projects – you will upload your project file if you are submitting through WebCT (online testing) The Online Testing Manual at the back of your student handbook will have instructions on how to complete
Jurist Willis–Gordon: Terri, I am from Miami,
Terri Scott: Rebecca...did I read somewhere earlier you are from around Dayton???
Beverly Bucher: thank you. just really nervous about messing all of this up. thanks for the assistance. Bye everyone. Nice to have chatted with you.
Holly Cowan: Rebecca – good question – you will have five years to complete each degree program – the graduation date from your first degree program will be the “start” date for your next degree program –
Margaret Shay: Nancy, not sure which Margaret you are talking to, I am from Kansas City an would love to chat.
Angela Haynes: I say we take that road trip to study at Jurist in Miami where it is warm!
Rebecca Covey: Terri, yes, Dayton Ohio

Angela Haynes: Hey Laurie we’re neighbors!
Margaret Jones: Elizabeth...Nancy and I
Rebecca Covey: Terri, where exactly in Hardin County?
Patricia MarshallPearson: Holly, does the assigned faculty advisor routinely contact the student to see how things are going?
Elizabeth Corso: Are you and Nancy just starting out?
Nancy Harrison: Margaret S. – Margaret J and I are in Holistic Nutrition so we plan to keep in touch as we proceed. What program are you in?
Katherine Liu: Milca– what program are you doing?
Laurie Saylor: Angela, where is home for you??
Alexandra Barroukh: JURIST WHERE ARE YOU
Angela Haynes: Just north of Atlanta
Milca Jeune: BS/ND
Terri Scott: I am about 100 miles North of Dayton...I live in the country...outside of Kenton..
Theresa Delaware–Dooley: BS/ND
Margaret Jones: Elizabeth I am just getting started
Holly Cowan: Laurie – I think that once you go through the first course you will find it that you will set a pace for yourself for your other courses – all the courses are formatted alike therefore you will know what to expect with the other courses that lie ahead – also the course overview for each course (usually the third or 4th page back in the required study guide) will list your reading and testing assignments – they are sectioned off so that you are biting off small pieces at a time
Katherine Liu: I’m doing BS and Doctorate in NH
Jurist Willis–Gordon: Sorry guys I had to pause for a minute
Shelly Detken: Sorry Terri....this is confusing with all these people. got you mixed up with Jheni! Sorry!
Terri Scott: Glad you are back!!!
Elizabeth Corso: I am located in CT, 30 mins from NYC. I am just starting course work too...
Holly Cowan: Jamala – regarding projects – projects are required in some of your courses –
Rebecca Covey: Terri, is your email on the CCNH map? I plan to get mine there soon. Hamdellia is in Ohio too. I am a teacher, so this is a good sign for a day off tomorrow, again.
Terri Scott: That is OK Shelly...I’m having a pretty hard timekeeping up myself...I don’t talk this fast!!
Nancy Harrison: Elizabeth – I am just on the first course, but I did 3 courses through another college.
Liz Zeigler: Really, these chat rooms boggle my brain!
Angela Haynes: So Holly when we are having trouble comprehending the course material we are to ask our faculty advisor for understanding tips?
Shelly Detken: I thought it was just me!
Elizabeth Corso: Margaret and Nancy keep in touch...
Jurist Willis–Gordon: It is little busy here , I am trying to keep tract of Holistic Nutrition folk
Terri Scott: Rebecca...my sister is a teacher!!..I’m happy to meet you....I don’t know if the email is on this map thing or not–––
Patricia MarshallPearson: HI HOLLY. DOES THE ASSIGNED FACULTY ADVISOR ROUTINELY CONTACT THE STUDENT TO SEE HOW THINGS ARE GOING??
Holly Cowan: Any other questions that I might have missed about getting started with your program? Please note that this chat room will be open after the chat concludes should you wish to stay and chat longer, swap e–mails, etc.
Rebecca Covey: I really do like how the study guides are set up...small steps are nice.
Laurie Saylor: Angela, not too far at all from macon
Alexandra Barroukh: JURIST IM FROM MIAMI TOO
Elizabeth Corso: Nancy, good 4 u. You are ahead of the game. Which classes have you completed?
Jamala Armstrong: Holly, what do students normally do with their ND
Alexandra Barroukh: KATHERINE WHAT IS YOUR EMAIL
Elizabeth Corso: Holly,
Jurist Willis–Gordon: Alexandra, where in Miami are you
Holly Cowan: Patricia – we let the student set their own pace – however if we see that a student hasn’t submitted coursework in over three months we will send out a reminder e–mail – trying to encourage our students to continue with their coursework – we do realize that life happens and sometimes studies need to be set aside – that is the beauty in a self paced, independent study program
Rebecca Covey: Terri, let’s exchange emails after this new student chat
Elizabeth Corso: Holly, I sent all the required paperwork to start testing. How do I know if you have received my forms?
Alexandra Barroukh: MIAMI BEACH

Terri Scott: Holly...I am ready to pick a topic for the first "project"...in the NH121 course...I understand it says any subject for a research paper...but could you give some ideas of what people have chosen in the past??...
Jurist Willis–Gordon: I am in Pembroke Pines
Alexandra Barroukh: NOT FAR
Alexandra Barroukh: WHAT IS YOUR EMAIL
Shelly Detken: Signing off everybody. Gotta get dinner out of the oven. This has been neat...thanks all. Good luck!
Rebecca Covey: Eat well
Milca Jeune: South Miami
Angela Haynes: Laurie only about 2 good hours from Macon
Rebecca Covey: Shelly
Holly Cowan: Elizabeth – if you submitted coursework through the mail you can check your My CCNH account – there you can view dates of coursework received, scores obtained on graded tests and overall course averages – if you have submitted the Course Selection Form to register your courses for online testing you will receive a confirmation e–mail once your request is processed
Elizabeth Corso: Nancy, you are an inspiration...
Elizabeth Corso: Thanks again Holly
Jurist Willis–Gordon: Alex. what’s yours
Rebecca Covey: Holly, I remember this in the handbook, but how much real time does it usually take to get the grades back if you submit online
Holly Cowan: Terri – massage therapy, acupuncture, reflexology, etc – any aspect of natural health is fine to write about – something that your interested in.
Theresa Delaware–Dooley: at lost every one for a minute
Katherine Liu: Thanks Alexandra

Holly Cowan: Jamala – most graduates of our ND program go into some type of consulting – the ND program is a practitioner focused program
Margaret Shay: I am attending the conference, anyone else?
Angela Haynes: That sounds great Laurie. I’m headed to Thomasville soon and will time it so we can meet
Margaret Jones: Will be in touch Elizabeth
Liz Zeigler: Signing off. Happy studying to everyone!
Terri Scott: Goodnight everyone..it has been a joy meeting you all..hope to talk with you again....
Rebecca Covey: Bye Liz
Laurie Saylor: good night liz and angela
Rebecca Covey: Terri, I’ll email, night
Angela Haynes: Bye Terri chat Thursday
Theresa Delaware–Dooley: nice to have meat you Terri
Jurist Willis–Gordon: Good night Terri
Dana Gall: Holly, what kind of consulting for ND (I assume ND with no MD )?
Laurie Saylor: Angela my email is already posted in the chat. email me.
Angela Haynes: OK I got it
Margaret Jones: Patricia we are exchanging addresses so we will can stay in touch for study chats
Patricia MarshallPearson: WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO PARTICPATE IN THE CONFERENCE SO THAT I CAN MEET MY PEERS AND PARTICIPATE IN THE VARIOUS SEMINARS.
Holly Cowan: Dana – natural health, nutrition, lifestyle, etc. consulting – educating others...MD signifies a Medical Doctor –
Jamala Armstrong: Holly, I’m interested in what Dana just asked as well. You can still have your own consulting practice even though you’re not a medical dr.
Rebecca Covey: Holly, I am sure I will have more questions as I go, all too new right now, will there be more chats for the new students – another Tuesday chat for new students?
Angela Haynes: Holly is there a big difference with an ND from Clayton College vs. a fully accredited college through say SAKS with an ND?
Holly Cowan: Patricia – regarding the conference – we’ll have sharing circles and breaks in between sessions – we also have free time to so that you can visit with the other attendees and we’ll have a networking event. Did you have any questions about getting started with your program?
Rebecca Covey: Angela,good question, I wonder as well
Patricia MarshallPearson: WHAT ARE SHARING CIRCLES AND BREAKS BETWEEN SESSIONS AND HOW CAN I PARTAKE?
Holly Cowan: Angela – I am not sure that I know what SAKS is – CCNH teaches traditionally naturopathy which does not include training in allopathy nor do we train our students to perform minor invasive procedures – which is what naturopathic physicians are trained in.
Theresa Delaware–Dooley: Ms Cowan is it better to do a Research or one of the other projects
Rebecca Covey: Holly, I know we are to check laws in our states, but if there are ND consultants in the state, is the ND recognized from all institutions equally?
Angela Haynes: oops! SACS Southern Accreditation of Colleges S
Dana Gall: I wonder how having a consulting practice on educating people when most are interested in being treated for diseases
Angela Haynes: It gives all the schools there accreditation for the southeast US there are 5 such orgs in US
Holly Cowan: Jamala – you can have your own consulting practice – this is what the majority of our graduates in the practitioner–focused programs go on to do after they graduate – you might want to check out the Meet our Student and Graduate link on the Web site – there you will see what our students and graduates are doing with their CCNH education – you can link directly to their web sites, etc.
Rebecca Covey: Holly, because I wonder if as I start my program study, should I focus more on areas that are of more current acceptance in my state, or should I just go as my study directs me and hope the col. works well for Ohio laws? Does that make any sense
Holly Cowan: REbecca – that would depend upon the state in which you live – each state is different
Patricia MarshallPearson: HI HOLLY. I DON’T HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW. SOME QUES THAT THE STUDENTS HAVE ALREADY ASKED HAVE BEEN HELPFUL. THANKS.
Alexandra Barroukh: milca where are you from miami
Alexandra Barroukh: Katherine where are you from
Margaret Shay: Nice chatting. Enjoy you evening...bye
Margaret Jones: Holly thanks for all the answers
Angela Haynes: So Holly do you think that will make a huge difference one we graduate? The allopathy & minor invasive procedures?
Holly Cowan: Rebecca – it does make sense and I would encourage you to investigate your state laws, scope of practice, title protection, etc. You may also want to contact Susie Hale as she is the CCNH Director of Practitioner Education and will be able to help with direction regarding this matter
Rebecca Covey: Holly, cool, thanks
Holly Cowan: Angela – not sure what you mean about making a huge difference once we graduate – please elaborate
THAIDAANETTE STOVALL: Thank you, Holly. Have a nice evening everyone.
Patricia MarshallPearson: THANK YOU HOLLY FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS. GOOD NIGHT TO EVERYONE.
Katherine Liu: Can a student request to switch a Faculty Advisor?
Dana Gall: Jamala where are you from and what are you studying?
Rebecca Covey: Bye Patricia
Jamala Armstrong: Dana, I’m from Baton Rouge, La studying ND
Patricia MarshallPearson: Bye Rebecca :)
Milca Jeune: Alexandra–– I live in south Miami
Angela Haynes: Thanks Holly I was just wondering if the ND from Clayton makes a difference in the “real world” vs. an ND from the school in Portland Oregon that is fully federally accredited?
Holly Cowan: Dana – excellent question – it does seem that persons what a quick fix, etc. However you will find that more people are interested in helping to help their body heal once they understand how the body has it’s own power to heal – I heard from one of our recent scholarship recipients – she stated that people often forget that health is a birth–right!
Alexandra Barroukh: milca what you study
Dana Gall: I study ND too and wonder about having your own practice... you too?
Holly Cowan: From above – I totally believe this and I don’t think that a lot of people realize that most of us are born healthy and our bodies can maintain this health if we treat it right – healthy diet, exercise, rest, etc. Education is the key!
Katherine Liu: Holly– Can a student request to switch a Faculty Advisor?
Jamala Armstrong: Yes Dana, we have the same goals–maybe we should keep in touch
Holly Cowan: Katherine – you can request to change their faculty advisor – if you will e–mail me tomorrow – we can discuss further –hcowan@ccnh.edu
Theresa Delaware–Dooley: Ms cowan I’ll ask again about the projects is research better or one of the other project
Katherine Liu: thank you
Dana Gall: Thank you Holly, I live in Boulder where a lot of people are holistic oriented but in the end they want to see an MD but this will not discourage me
Holly Cowan: Hi Theresa – what do you mean by do a Research or complete a project?
Dana Gall: Jamala I do not have an e–mail with the school but I requested one and I would like to chat with you then
Jamala Armstrong: I didn’t know I could request a school id. I think that would be better as well. How can I get one?
Angela Haynes: Oh well gotta log off now
Theresa Delaware–Dooley: on the first project in NH121 I believe it’s research and subject or interview or another one
Rebecca Covey: Bye, Angela
Holly Cowan: Jamala – you can request that a CCNH e–mail box be set up for you through our webmaster – webmaster@ccnh.edu
Angela Haynes: JUST A REMINDER STUDY CHAT 8PM EST THURSDAY
Dana Gall: jamala when you register they ah Holly just answered it
Theresa Delaware–Dooley: which one is better and do you have a suggestion
Rebecca Covey: I have Zumba on Thurs., maybe I’ll see some other time
Holly Cowan: Theresa – okay now I understand – please note that you can complete which ever project option seems most interesting to you. A lot of my students report that they enjoyed the interview as they were able to "see" and experience what it’s like to visit a natural health practitioner
Patricia Marshall Pearson: ANGELA~WHICH COURSE OF STUDY IS THUSDAY’S 8PM CHAT FOR (ALL PROGRAMS)?
Theresa Delaware–Dooley: can I do one on a Health care practitioner that is also a MD but go more towards natural?
Holly Cowan: Please feel free to stay and chat amongst each other...thank you to everyone for your participation and have a good evening
Dana Gall: Holly, what interview are you talking about? it sounds interesting
Jamala Armstrong: Well Ms. Cowan, I really appreciate your time tonight. I think I have gained much insight. Good night all.
Holly Cowan: Dana – the project for NH121
Rebecca Covey: Holly, thank you for your time:)
Rebecca Covey: Good night everyone
Dana Gall: Holly thank you and good night
Holly Cowan: Good night, thank you too and your welcome. :O]
