It's up to you Grace, you can make it into a poster or fact file if you would like. Or you could just make notes.

Published on Tuesday, March 08, 2011 LikeYes you do have to write down 5 questions that you would ask him. I think your comment is great Gloy and thank you for responding Charisse. It think you should carry on the chat about what you think the meeting of the waters is.
