Greetings,

Eggs and Issues - Breakfast with Legislators.  Speak Up and Speak Out!

Reminder:    About a week ago, we sent out notice of Saturday morning breakfasts with MN State Legislators.  This is YOUR chance to speak up!  We need to let them hear how the proposed cuts will gut our school system - a system that has already been taking its share of budget hits over the years.  If you wish, MFT can offer up some talking points for you to use but we know you know in your hearts what they need to know - that the impact of the budget cuts will be very harsh on students.  MFT President Lynn Nordgren will be in attendance at all of the breakfasts and hopes to see a good turnout of our members at each.

We have heard from some of you but need to know if you are planning on coming so please   email Bonita Jones at the MFT at bjones@mft59.org  if you plan to attend any of the breakfasts.  Thanks!
