Even if you do know, you should give this episode a listen any way. Have Krista or Jeri ever been investigated? Well now you can find out. 

Krista and Jeri are joined by a special guest, Emily, the REA Office Manager. The three of them share with you information about dues deduction, use of facilities, pay warrants and more. It’s exciting stuff!
