Let The Games Begin! – #Kscope14
We kicked off KScope 14 with a great Community Service event with the Nature Consortium. If you saw my tweet earlier, we HANDLED that Himalayan Blackberry. I’ve got some of that stuff or a very close relative growing in my back yard, so I felt really good pulling that stuff out. Not to be beat …
