Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa! As I write this I’m just wrapping up a 10-day vacation in South Africa, which was absolutely incredible! I was able to see the big five while on safari in the Gondwana Game Reserve, take in the views of Cape Town from atop Table Mountain and from Robben Island and enjoy the many wines Stellenbosch has to offer. I am now mentally preparing for my return to real life as the associate marketing director for Global Professional Oral Care covering Crest and Oral-B, as there are certainly no elephants or giraffes in Cincinnati, Ohio!

Congratulations to Cabray Haines, who, with her D.C. Edge adult synchronized figure skating team, won the 2016 U.S. national championships in February. The mom of 2-year-old Rosy along with her 15 teammates dazzled the judges with a Batman-themed routine. It’s so great to see Cabray continuing to pursue her passion for figure skating! I’m still working on basic ice skating and will seek out lessons when I’m next in the Washington, D.C., area.

Send any news my way. See you in June in Hanover as we celebrate 15 (er, 16) years!
