Dear John,

When we started the Lunch & Learn series over two years ago, we had no idea how many of you would spend your Friday lunch hours learning with us.

The response has been incredible. Since April 2020, more than 20,000 people have joined a Lunch & Learn or watched later on our YouTube page. It has been an absolute pleasure to get to know so many of you.

One lesson we’ve all learned living through the pandemic is the importance of savoring the moments we do have with friends and family. Because of that, Kathleen and I are taking an August break from hosting the Lunch & Learns to spend time enjoying Maine’s short, sweet, and fleeting summer with the people and places we love.

We’ll be back online after Labor Day and ready to explore why the labor movement matters for climate action, release our 2022 Environmental Scorecard, learn how federal investments like the bipartisan infrastructure deal are transforming climate action, and more.

We look forward to seeing you again on September 9.

--Will
