Hi ,

Well, we've plowed through 2021 and its COVID-related challenges, and now 2022 is well underway. And on the eve of Groundhog Day, some of us are feeling a strange sense of déjà-vu and a whole lot of ho-hum. Others have even resorted to befriending (and mourning) insects. RIP Connor McDonald's spider..

Well, this year, Insum will be celebrating its 20th anniversary, and we've got lots planned to help break the monotony. We want to make sure you don't miss a thing, and in our ever-growing desire to stay connected with all of you, we're adding one more thing to our efforts.

Cue the funky intro...

🎉 Tada! 🎉
