I write today with a request that is personal. The world and life continues--I'm worried by the events in Ukraine, grateful to be COVID negative as of this morning, and hopeful that COVID hospitalizations will continue to be low. Both are mostly challenges outside our control. Today I am asking you to make a difference in a specific way that is within our control.
Erik and Renee Gutshall
My friend and colleague Erik Gutshall passed away 2 years ago this month. You may remember that the County Board established a fund in 2020 to provide financial support for the education of his children. Now that his eldest daughter is set to go to college in the fall, the time is ripe for us to step up and support Renee and her children.
Erik loved his family and cared deeply about education. I am asking you to help raise $10,000 to honor his commitment to both.
