““I wanted to send a huge Thank You and congratulations on behalf of the team for the successful launch of site!! As you all know, this project ended up being much bigger than any of us could have imagined at the beginning, but with your help, leadership and dedication we were able to have a successful launch of the new site this past Sunday.
