Calling all tellers! We still have two openings for featured tellers at the September 9th event. Will you join us? Have a 10-minute-personal story on the theme: Back to Work? You can flip it too, if you want, and try, "Back out of work and into vacation!" Whatever strikes your fancy. Send your story idea to producer Sarah Malone at [email protected]

Time is of the essence so we can plan a rehearsal later at the end of August/first of September.
