[Businessmtg] Business Meeting Opening

[Lynne]

Hi ASPers,

Welcome to ASP's March 2023 Business Meeting.

May we start this meeting with a moment of silence followed by the 
Serenity Prayer...

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage 
to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
