HINT: When you call our offices and we don’t answer, please leave a message that includes your first AND last name, maybe what Race you are a part of, a short message, and a phone number to reach you at. We get many phone calls that look like this; “Hey! This is Steph! I was calling you about a question! Please call me back!” This is not a good example of a phone call. Please help us out by giving us a few more details. If you leave a message like this, then you need to expect for us not call you back. Thanks!
