And a good time was had by all!
I am adding my 2 cents worth to what Stewart has already told you about our True Courage Awards event Thursday night. It was truly an exciting event for all the TCAN board members, staff and supporters, and I know especially for our honorees. Much hard work goes into a legislative session by the legislators and their staff. TCAN worked to apply the same amount of energy to fight for and against the bills that impacted our legislative agenda this year. Ethics reform, voting rights, open government and the politics of big money were where we worked tirelessly, found our champions among the legislators, and accomplished much, but much remains to be accomplished.
I want to thank the many members of the legislature and their staff from both the House and the Senate that came and joined us at this fun event, and give another thanks to Ms. Bettie Naylor for hosting this at the Westgate
This event was a time for recognition, celebration and renewed commitment to continue our work together in the future. Everyone was full of smiles and good feelings and that was rewarding for all of us to see.
