Kate's story amazing- NEOA nominee??LindaGood Morning All,What an amazing celebration yesterday. I have enjoyed all of the sessions - but the student stories are THE BEST.I wanted to pass along - I spoke with Kate Michaud - Rising Star Recipient- last night on her way home from work. She wanted to again thank the committee and the Association for the recognition. She is a perfect example of our TRIO Student Community. She shared that she truly understands the power of TRIO and appreciates all the support she has gotten over the years.Happy Snowy Friday,~TeriTeri MannService CoordinatorMaine Educational Talent Search andMaine Educational Opportunity CenterCell 207-551-3331 - Fax 207-581-2532Toll-Free 1-800-281-3703“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.”― Plutarch--Linda J.
