Hi, this is State Representative ███████████ and I hope you'll stay on the line for my telephone town hall. Starting in just a few seconds, you'll be able to ask questions, vote in polls, or just sit back, relax and listen to what your friends and neighbors have to say. If we don't get to your question, you can always call me at ████████████. That's ████████████. This is State Representative ████████ and thanks for taking the time to join our discussion. You are joining a live conference already in progress. Please be aware that your local phone company may leave your line open for up to ██ seconds after you leave the conference. If you would like to ask the speaker a question, please press ████. I have to say that talking with folks that I represent in ██████████ is one of the most important parts of my job. And I'm really honored to be with you tonight. You know, really this is a team effort. Since taking office, my team and I have worked with thousands of constituents by being as present and proactive as possible in the district. Whether that's at events here in our district office located in the █████████████████████ and State College, or we've really emphasized holding mobile offices in all parts of our district. We have regularly scheduled hours and Snowshoe and Howard and Milesburg. We've done pop up offices in ██████████████ and we're looking forward to doing even more. So if you have an idea about where we could do that, please let us know. We do that because that really reflects my commitment from the very beginning to represent every community and every constituent, regardless of whether folks supported me or not. Look, you know, there's a place for partisanship, but in the day to day work of our office and my service to our community, that's not it. So this is really something that I feel strongly about and I appreciate you making some time to be here tonight. In addition to our office, we also hold a wide variety of events. Some of you may have seen our back to school supply drive. We just recently did a free shredding event, license plate restoration. We've done a bike rodeo. And I wanted to just point out a couple of really exciting upcoming events that we have scheduled for this month and next. The first is this Sunday. It's ███████ 19th from ████████ we're actually partnering with Centre County, PAWS and Penn State on a really exciting new event. We're calling it People PAWS and psu. It's a health clinic for dogs cats and their humans. It'll be at the Howard United Methodist Church. PAWS will be providing low cost vaccine and microchips for our pets. Penn State will be providing free flu vaccines, information about ticks and tick borne diseases and I'm excited to announce that I'm going to be personally donating the first ██ rabies vaccines and ██ cat and dog distemper vaccines on a first come first serve basis. So really excited about that. We also have a couple of great fall interns who are working on a brand new event. It's an Accessibility Resource Fair. We're going to be holding that next Wednesday from ████ 5pm ███████ at SCLO Library. We're going to connect individuals with cognitive and physical disabilities to state, local and community organizations. There'll be a lot of games, door prizes and a guest speaker. And then finally on ████████████████████ from █████ to █ at the State College YMCA, I'm going to be hosting a luncheon for veterans and a guest for a free lunch to really thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Veteran services and resources is really one of my main priorities and focus areas. Serving in the Legislature. I'm actually on the Veterans affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee. We'll have a guest speaker there and if you want to attend, please just RSVP by calling our office and secure your spot. To learn about this and other events, please sign up for our newsletter through our website. ██████ mentioned how to at the beginning. I'll mention it at the end as well. Or catch me out in the community. I'm always out and about. This weekend I'll be out at Punkin Chunkin and I'll be at the Apple Festival out of Curtin Village, so hopefully you'll be able to see me around and just.
