Thank you so much for having us. It was great to get to talk with so many neighbors. I look forward to working with WeCAN to answer all of the follow up questions you shared that we didn't have time to answer in person -- there were some great ones in there.

Community engagement is so important, thank you WeCan for hosting this forum. It was a pleasure to participate. #amanda4NWdenver

Thank you for having us! I really appreciated the questions and conversation.

Leah Kate Rounds, you should contact Don Austin to see if he has photos from when we started 10 years ago. I know over the years he took a lot.
