Committee Thank Yous
Thank you, Garine Issasi – our Earth Day committee chair, for organizing the collection of junk mail trees.
The goal was to create a visual message to show just how much paper is wasted on junk mail!
Thank you, Cesar & Pasqua Garcia – our Budget Task Force committee, and thank you to our poll
watchers who helped facilitate voting for the School Election/Budget Vote.
Reflect On This…

Whatever people do, feel, think, or say, don’t take it personally. Others are going to have their
own opinion according to their belief system, so whatever they think about you is not about you,
but it is about them.
