Dear Friend, As we approach the holiday weekend, I would like to encourage you all to reflect on how fortunate we are to live in this country. As Americans, we enjoy a multitude of freedoms that many do not. We have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and we must never take that for granted. I’m truly proud to be an American and to represent our district in the U.S. Congress. Here are a few stories to help get you through the rest of the week -- | 27 teens made Wakulla history as inaugural participants in the county’s first Teen Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training course. The CERT program educates volunteers, who may be adults or teens, about disaster preparedness specific to the hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. This is an excellent program, and I’m proud of all of the graduates who will go on to lead in their community. Read more here. | Earlier this year, Dr. James T. Cook and his wife gave the land on Carters Mill Road to the Chipola Habitat for Humanity. Habitat says it will have a profound effect on the community as a site for affordable housing in the future. This is the largest private donation the organization has received in the past five years. The organization says that plans for a mixed-income single-family residential development there will be underway soon. Thank you, Dr. Cook and Mrs. Cook for this generous donation!

As the civic organization’s first female president, Logan said four specific goals for the club in the coming year are additional service projects, additional social engagements for the club, more recognition and continued growth, membership and diversity. Congratulations, Meagan! I look forward to seeing great things from you. Read more here. | As we continue taking measures to combat COVID-19, maintaining your mental health may become more difficult.
