Thank you to Lee Dix for passing along this information.  Rob English, a Mt. Washington Soccer coach, is one of the organizers of this event.  This certainly sounds like it will be an interesting meeting for anyone interested in the the legislative process in Maryland and being a part of advocating for children’s education.  If you would like to register so that you can attend, see below:
