Honoring Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman [View all]

I did a search for this and didn't find it i if someone else has posted it,I apologize.

I received an email from the DLCC chair, who suggested the following things we can do to honor the memory of this amazing Democratic woman:

Plant a tree.
Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail.
Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do.
Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it.
Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone.
Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something.
Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace.


I'm not crying. You're crying.
