Good afternoon MEEOA,
We have a little less than one month before our annual *TRIO/GEAR-UP
Advocacy Day* event at the Maine State House on *Thursday, March 7th from
8:30-11:30*.
This email is meant to serve a few purposes: *first*, to be a friendly
reminder to RSVP on the attached Google Form, available here
<https://forms.gle/AxmqjQLv2Z3oxceN6> and below. For any who have already
completed this form, there is a new question inquiring about your
interest in a UMA college tour after the event. If you are interested,
please let me know and I will add that info to your RSVP.
*Second*, I wanted to provide you with a quick overview of the day's events
to boost your excitement and (hopefully) student engagement. The event
itself will run from 8:30-11:30. *I am asking all attendees to arrive at
the State House and be set up no later than 8:15* so that we can have our
speeches running by 8:30 before the Senators and Representatives go to
their Caucus meetings at 9. I know that makes for an early morning for many
of you, but it will be worth it to ensure our Legislators are in attendance
and actively participating.
*Lastly*, a reminder to engage in some advocacy work with your students and
send an invitation to your elected officials inviting them to attend and
participate. I have attached a PDF including email templates and
information on who your local legislators are.
Those are my updates for now. At about the two-week mark, I will reach out
again and provide more details regarding what to bring/not to bring,
parking, etc.
