[CT-NFB] Voting Testimony

[Mary Silverberg]

Maryanne,
Thank you, I'm glad you were able to take the lead on this one and  testify.
Unfortunately, I was unable to witness your testimony live.   Does anyone
have a link for Maryanne's testimony?

I would also like to wish all those who celebrate, a Good Pasach or Happy
Passover!
We had a very different and creative Passover Seder on Saturday  outside on
my patio
 with my daughter and her husband in person and my other daughter  via
ZOOM.  We were all together.
It was a perfect day weatherwise too.  The spirit of HOPE was with us  and
the traditions continue.

Mary Silverberg
