__SALUTATION__
 As someone who got my start as a PTA mom, I know how important it is to listen and really hear the needs of our community. I receive your emails, my team and I address your statewide issues, and we have robust discussions when we are out in the community. With this in mind, I'd like to make sure you saw the invitation to my Community Gatherings this weekend and next. We will be in every corner of the district, and I hope you and your family can take time to stop by for a chat.
