[aisle] Clemente HS Update...

[Townhouse, Andie]

Hi All --
I just wanted to share that Clemente High School is the recipient of the
2022-23 Heart of America NATIONAL grant!!!!  An announcement will be coming
out shortly!

Out of 16,500 votes, Clemente received 7,000 -- nearly half the votes!!!

I can't thank everyone on this listserv enough for their help, support,
love, and good energy.  This contest felt like a trust fall, and AISLE
members near and far extended their arms to us.

I don't quite have all the words yet (for once :)), but please know, in my
heart, I see each of you as the way pavers in this deep and important
journey.

I'd love to share updates of the space, and I'll have more of a timeframe
of things like the ribbon-cutting ceremony once the work is complete.

The support I have received from AISLE and its members has truly been a
boulder of joy in my life.

Thank you for being my traveling companion,
-Andie

equally available to everyone. People tend to take that for granted, and
they don’t realize what is at stake when that is put at risk.” ― Carla
