<div>Hi all and Happy Friday--</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For states that requested all FFY25 LSTA funding up front, how has that process gone and what does it look like for you in your state? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, if any of y'all are slogging through SPR completion and want some guidance or sympathy, would you like me to schedule an LSTA Coordinators hangout for next week? Or sometime in the early New Year?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope you are all doing well and hanging in there this holiday season.</div>

<div>Cheers to you from,</div>
