Dear TWiSters,
The weekend has come and there’s a lot to be done! Some great shows have just opened so make sure to show your support. Once again, I recommend the Zicree SUPERMENTOR Class if you’re looking for the advice and guidance one needs to break through to the next level of their career. They are wonderful people to work worth and have had many successes in the Industry.
I’m excited to announce that TWiSt is going to be getting an upgrade very soon! The email will arrive with more color, links, pictures, organization, and a level of professionalism TWiSt deserves! Send all announcements ASAP so that I can include them in the brand new version of TWiSt coming soon to an inbox near you!
Enjoy St. Patrick’s Day! Wear your green! Eat, drink, be merry and safe!
All the best,
Drew
