With the theme “Hats Off to FCE,” the meeting space was transformed into an elegant tea party setting, complete with beautiful spring decorations.

Whenever I go through a small problem, I usually experience three emotions in this order: confusion, panic, relief, and embarrassment.
A good example of this recently happened when I made a quick stop at the grocery store one morning on my way to work. There I bought a drink, a snack, and something for lunch. Once I reached my car, I sat my bag of goodies in the passenger floorboard. Then I glanced down to the keyring in my hand and I was immediately confused. Something wasn’t right, but I wasn’t sure what it was. Then the realization hit me. My car key was no longer on my keyring.
