Lisa Orsborn Hernandez with events June 8-14. We’re all going 1000mph, and will be through November. Mistakes will be made. I apologize for errors I’ve made in these weekly texts. Find your comfort zone, stretch beyond it with support from others. Volunteer where and how you can. Convention delegate? Lots of off campus events, I’ll send a list and links later in the week. Read the convention agenda, decide which caucuses, bring comfortable shoes. And keep on smiling.
