[OYAN] Thursday, May 14th Shoutout

[BERGQUIST Greta * SLO]

Hello everyone,

This is an early shoutout as I'll be out of the office tomorrow but there's too much good stuff happening and I wanted to make sure you see - in the midst of a LOT of budget and staffing challenges around the state,  we see you all keep going. This is long because 1) you're doing good stuff and 2) I've been in and out a bit the last few weeks and want to catch up.

A few highlights:


  *   Garden Home and West Slope honor the moms who worked to establish their presence: https://www.facebook.com/gardenhomelibrary/posts/pfbid0YYbgbENc5ewfZ69UmLmYnsNyok3rk4JuZYYCmMAdGJq2N4SUSKskDVLgb1RqtPstl.<https://www.facebook.com/gardenhomelibrary/posts/pfbid0YYbgbENc5ewfZ69UmLmYnsNyok3rk4JuZYYCmMAdGJq2N4SUSKskDVLgb1RqtPstl>
