John,
If you made it to our social hour last week, it was a great time of games, camaraderie. But as I mentioned last week, now is not the time to quit and as we look towards the future, help us shape our voice by joining us tomorrow at our monthly general body meeting, where we’ll set the course for our 2025 policy platform.
Hope to see you tomorrow,
~Kaitlyn
