This weekend I am blessed to newsletter away from Detroit where I am having some fun family times! So far we enjoyed a trip to to Dave and Buster's, attended some graduation parties and look forward to more family fun today. First things first, has everyone solved the Wordle for the day?
Please join us this Wednesday when Tom Schlesinger joins us from The Climate Alliance for the Common Good. I had the opportunity to hear him present to Rotary East earlier this year and excited to experience his interactive presentation again this week.
