Due to the weather, we are one week behind at this point.  The first presentation will be made by me tomorrow provided the college is open and running and we are able to hold class.  This will serve as a model for what I am looking for you to do.  

The presentation on topic 2 will be made next week, so please be prepared.  The schedule for the remaining presentations will appear in a separate post later this week.
