RENX taking a vacation June 29 to July 3 TO OUR VALUED READERS: RENX staff will be taking our annual break for a hard-earned vacation during the week of June 29 through July 3.

If you are attempting to reach us during that time, Publisher Ann White will monitor calls and emails on an irregular basis, but will only reply to urgent inquiries.
