Last weekend, new friends held a fundraiser for us at their dramatic, art-filled home in East Bradford Township. What a rousing success it was! Not only because we raised money to help spread our message to the voters, but also because we raised new friends who vowed to support us in many ways.

We also had a chance to chat with old friends who came out to wish us well…Lois Herr who is running for US Congress in the 16th District, Anne Crowley who is running for State Legislature in the 167th, and Andy Dinniman who is running for the 19th District State Senate seat in a special election on May 16th.

Like the song we sang around the bonfire at Girl Scout camp so long ago, “Make new friends, but keep the old…,” we are truly grateful for all of our friends. Thank you one and all!

Thank you one and all for all of the hard work you put in over the past several weeks. Carrying petitions for candidates is sometimes fun, sometimes frustrating, but always pressure-filled. With the 3 week window that we had this year, which included President's weekend, a snow storm, and the beginning of the Easter season, you were able to gather 660 signatures!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

We are well on our way to a winning campaign because of dedicated and tireless volunteers like you. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your time and effort, and most of all your friendship.

Also, thank you to all who signed the nomination petitions to allow me the opportunity to be placed on the ballot for State Representative. I will look forward to talking with you soon to hear about your concerns because I want to be YOUR voice in Harrisburg!

See you at the polls on May 16th!

Gratefully yours,
Barb
