Following Up

Hello everyone,

How the time has gone by, it's August already. I just wanted to make contact with everyone to see how we could come together on-line ,conference call or what ever. Let's throw some suggestions around to see how we can make the connection. In May we made some commitments that we have not followed through with. At that time I took everyone who made the commitment to mean what they said. We do understand that life always has a curve ball. However the reason for writing everyone is that we can get focused again.

What have you heard about the presidential candidates and their view on education?

Are you registered to vote?

What would you want to do to support our education efforts?

I really want to hear from you all. Thank You So Much for your time and efforts.
