Our READ poster project is moving along well.  We have posters completed for Assembly Representatives Ballweg, Hintz, and Thiesfeldt and Senators Gudex and Olsen.  Several more sessions are scheduled for the next couple of weeks and we're waiting to hear back from several offices.  You can expect pictures to start to arrive in the next couple of weeks.
