From looks, Westchester again was one of the leaders in training delivered.

Mark...depending on the topic..yes. The big normal popular ones fill up and fast. Not uncommon for some curricullums to literally fill up the same day. Never hurts to try though brother.

Thanks Lthmh for the kind words...I'm sure we'll see each other this week at some point..lol.

After all of the talk of budget cuts and lack of county training hours, Dutchess county released information last week that they will be getting 1350 hours as of april 1 2009, which is the same number of hours that we received last year. hopefully the rest of the counties in the area will be granted the same so we can continue the proper education of our fellow brothers and sisters.

Word is Westchester is also receiving the same number as last year. Let's hope for the best as we must remember that the budget still has not been agreed upon and finalized.
