staff trainings and such

It is a busy time here in the city and at CSM. I guess you can tell by my lack of posts. I have had some opportunities to explore the city a bit...more about that later. I also had the opportunity to visit San Francisco a couple weeks ago. I spent a summer there a few years ago (my first with CSM) and it was definitely a joy to be back. We had our national staff training there, with the staff from all nine CSM cities, and the home office. It was definitely a great time seeing everyone and spending time shopping at Crossroads (oh, how I've missed that place), drinking coffee (or tea for me), eating ice cream at Ghiradelli and even a few training sessions! I've been back in NYC for a couple of weeks and we are doing a bit of our own training. Our spring staff, Emily, Katie, and Michael are here and learning (or being refreshed) on the city and CSM NY. It is definitely fun to expand our staff and I look forward to spending more time with them this spring.
