Newsletter #14

Hello Friends

I have 2 pieces of good news to share?

I have recently passed my Level II RKC certification test. The standards RKC for a level II RKC are very high so I am extremely proud to announce this accomplishment to all my friends. Three full days of training and learning in St Paul Minn. that I went through will allow me to bring a higher level expertise to all of you.

An RKC is really never finished learning and I will continue my education to bring you all the best possible training available.

The second piece of news is from our contributing dietician Susan Dopart. Susan has just finished her first book and I can't wait to see it. I hope all of you share in my enthusiasm to read it. Below is a flier from Susan about the book
