<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">Dear Federation Family,</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">I hope this message finds you all in great spirits.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">I am excited to share some wonderful news with you. This spring, I will be pursuing a Post-Baccalaureate Paralegal Certificate, with classes beginning on Tuesday, January 13.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">If I happen to overlook any emails, please do not hesitate to reach out to me by phone. I kindly ask that you text first, as I may be in class; however, please feel free to call if needed and leave
a voicemail.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">I would also like to ask my Federation family to please keep Ivan and I in your prayers, as this will be a new journey for him as well.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">Thank you all so much for your continued support and encouragement. My phone number is 601-630-5241.</p>
