Happy Spring-
We drove over the pass this weekend for a funeral
and it was a beautiful day, Saturday. Lots of snow in the trees and mountains. And only the day before the pass was closed. Go figure, the weather in the Pacific NW.
Keep the cards, stories and emails coming to your legislators and encourage your families. We are now down to the wire of the budgeting process.
Hope to hear from you Thursday on "Keeping your volunteers engaged in your Program and how to utilize them for other than parent matching." We have over 500 trained volunteers, that want to help. We will have some good information to share.
Take care,
Susan
