I also wanted to say um noticing on the statistics that we are presented with. that there was um an increase in people who completed the reading, which I think is nice. That went up. It's good to have lots and lots of people signing up, but it's really great when people follow through and actually do the readings. I don't know. And I also wanted to just make one reference.
uh under statistics I noticed um a big increase in the program attendance which I thought was pretty nice also it speaks well to the staff and the team who puts all those together um and there were A little bit more programs, but the attendance really was up and I I thought that was wonderful.
