Project is nearly finalized and will be held on the Wed. afternoon

planning is still going on. It will be

like Mike to do a repeat session or just one. Mike will be focusing on interpreting the results of drug tests, various
methods of testing and ways in which clients will attempt to adulterate
specimens.
