To the Wonderful Members of LWV Detroit,
I wish to thank and congratulate all of you for being Defenders of Democracy. Whether you worked this year in a specific program or individually impacted people in your community to promote participation in voting, you did much to contribute to one of our most sacred institutions. And you did this during an important election plus a pandemic! This year will always be remembered, and you can pat yourself on the back for all your efforts.
This is a difficult time for all of us. Someone once said, we are all in this political, social, and health storm together. But please remember that although we are in the same storm, we are not all in the same boat. There are many who are struggling with financial and domestic issues that can or will permanently affect their lives and the lives of their children.
Please be mindful of the ways you can contribute to the health and safety of those most vulnerable. Give your time, money, and voice to those in need, especially this season.
Cherish your loves ones, family and friends for they are your most treasured possessions. Although we may not be able to participate in many activities at this time, we always have an opportunity to loves others. I love you all. Have a Happy and Safe Holiday.
Rhonda Craig
