Only peripherally related, but when submitting our forms at the end of the season, do you prefer each form in its own message, or would you rather we send them all in one message?

Thanks for asking! Either way is totally fine! I suppose it’s fewer clicks to have it all in one, but we’re a small enough crew that the total volume isn’t overhwleming if they’re individual messages. If you send them all in one message, feel free to just list your address once! :grin:
