John,

I promise this is the last you’ll be hearing from me in 2024, and before you hit pause on the year and wind down, I want to draw your attention to one teeny thing: 

Our final event, Wreaths Across America, is tomorrow! The meeting location will be at the Arlington National Cemetery Metro at 8:30 am. I hope you all get the rest and relaxation you deserve and are ready to hit the ground running in the new year! 

Happy Holidays!

~Kaitlyn
