[RestorativeJustice] Restorative Justice UUAA - still alive!

[Mary Ann Hergenrother]

Kathy,

I think all of your ideas have great merit. I also support your proposal
for 2021 budget planning. I would especially like to see us support the NACRJ
and be able to attend the 2022 conference!!!

Having films on hand for RJUUAA showings and discussions will be handy, too.

Thank you for the time and effort you put into developing this plan for us.

I hope those little grand babies are doing well!

Hugs,
Mary Ann
