Dear Readers,

I recently decided I want to learn to knit. I’ve ordered the materials and watched some videos. I’ll start small this weekend and see how I do. If all goes well, my mom will receive a knitted potholder this holiday season (shhh, don’t tell her).

If you’re a lifelong learner like me, you’ll be thrilled to know that the SAS training course schedule continues to expand. See what classes are coming up and learn how we’ll keep you safe during in-person training. And don’t worry, Live Web is still going strong. We look forward to learning with you!

Happy reading!
