LaunchNET News: Meet Me in Montauk

I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
The Latest & Greatest from LaunchNET Kent State
As you may have been able to pick up on between the subject of this email and the opening sentence, I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

(highly recommend btw)

But now I'm starting to wonder...all these little gaps in my memory...were my spots removed? And if so, why would I remove so many?? I realize now, it may not be that I have the memory of a goldfish, rather that I may be a Dalmatian that lost its spots.

If anyone has received a little gold card saying I opted to have my memory erased, please let a girl know.

Highlights for the week: tabling at the showcase and prepping for that, legal advice for setting up your business, a college of business pitch competition, yet another pitch competition, programs for health tech, and return of the alumni.
