Thanks.
I know I shouldn't be picky, but with all the paperwork and food program paperwork it's difficult to take drop ins and part time. My licensing consultant even suggested not to do drop ins because of having to do the paperwork and keep up with it each time they come, BUT I think I may just have to do it to like you said, get people in, get contacts, and THEN be picky!
