Hello [firstname],
Much has happened over the past year. While we have not been having in person meetings, we have been working in the background to ensure our parental rights are being protected. We've been active with legislators and school board members, watching the school board agendas. Some of us have been able to attend some of the Charlie Kirk memorials. Sheri and I were able to attend the honorary resolution last Monday night honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk. It's been an emotional few months since his death, and it has lit a fire in many of us.
