One fun highlight was being joined by State Rep Joe Hohenstein (who took these two photos) and learning that not only were he & his chief of staff Tara game for joining us through one of the most daunting weather days…
… but also that, inspired by the exhibit at The Schuylkill Center, they’d organized a 5 day walk around the edges of their own district!
This makes me feel like I’m in ‘Lord of the Rings’

There’ll be a lot more to share, but in the meanwhile here’s hoping that you’re able to join us for one of the upcoming walks, in-person events and/or virtual ones!
