||\\ Hi Patriot,\\ \\ =====  CONSTITUTION WEEK SUCCESS =====\\ \\ We want to take a moment to celebrate all our volunteers who helped make //Constitution Week// a success throughout Florida schools. It's important to note that without the //Daughters of the American Revolution// (DAR), //Constitution Week// would not even be acknowledged. Our own Ed Vidal attended a DAR Meeting during the //Constitution Week// and we've included a photo, below.\\ \\ We are so proud of our continuing growth as a state and as a nation. We look forward to next year's //Constitution Week// and all the ideas our grassroots activists will implement to make it another success.\\ \\ {{https://content.conventionofstates.com/cosaction-prod/public/content/images/45989/45989_original.jpg?600x437}}  ||

Then I decided to hit the volunteer button. It felt like I found a life boat on the edge of the river. A reasonable, rational, possible plan of engagement that was found in joining the Convention of States Team. I dipped my toes into the waters of self-governance, and waded slowly into the Liberty River, with which I was unfamiliar. From local leadership in my house district in FL, to State Leaders, the real joy, the true inspiration, is all of the amazing patriots I meet as I ride this current. Patriots lining the banks of the river, some plunging in, others stepping in cautiously, still others sizing up the flow of the water and their ability to safely survive the twists and turns before dipping their toes, just like me. You have already signed the petition, but I encourage you to [[https://bit.ly/3zvhiu3|take the next step]]. Grab a life boat and Join as a Volunteer or perhaps choose a Role and be a Leader in your district.\\ \\  |\\ ||  [[mailto:fl.cos.sccteam@gmail.com|Submit your story and headshot here]]  |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |  ||
