  As many of you may know already, the legislative session ended without &lt;br&gt; the passage of any workplace bullying bill. So we need to get prepared &lt;br&gt; for 2012 and talk over some ideas. You are all invited to a meeting; I &lt;br&gt; just ask that you RSVP to me via Facebook or by replying to this post. &lt;br&gt; Thanks! Kathy Hermes
