Informative Educational Classes, Workshops and Seminars as well as the Frogmore stew, Banquet and Dance will prove to be an unbeatable combination that will excite your mind as well as your spirits. I know that our job as Assessors is a thankless one and many times we may feel unappreciated. But we should always remember that the greatest in the kingdom is a servant. So please be encouraged, knowing that the work that you are doing is a great work and every once in while you are reminded of that when someone comes by or calls to say thank you for something you or your staff has done.
