The Meetings Keep Coming: Your Promise Digest

Just yesterday, I posted that we had reached 400 Promise Campaign meetings, which was our goal for the month of March. Just one day later we are already at 410! That means we have a total of 22 to go to reach our overall goal. While the scheduled meetings keep rolling in, so does the feedback from completed ones! Reading about what happens at these meetings is one of the best parts of the campaign because you get to see how advocates just like yourself are making a difference. Check out some of the recently posted summaries below, and don't forget to sign up to attend a meeting before Promise ends on May 1!
