Coordinator notes: Sorry to hear about the Monarchs. Agree, it seems to be a slower year across the region for them, however at least there are still a couple of solid months ahead where the numbers can still normalize. Possibly because of this season's crazy weather, and hopefully they'll come back in better numbers assuming a more "normal" year next year. -jmgesell
