Hello Wolverines, friends, families, neighbors, community and followers! First things first, a question I’m often asked, “Where/when did you learn/find your passion for community/advocacy?” My inspiration comes from Olympic Gold Medalist, Billy Mills () and his wife, Abstract Artist and Gallery Owner, Patricia Mills. For the last 15 years, they have been a contributing source of inspiration and my favorite teachers. Coincidentally, today is Billy’s 86th birthday! Happy Birthday, Billy!
That said, I want to personally extend heartfelt gratitude to all of you, today and every day. In case you weren’t already aware, my Westbrook PTC days have come to an end.
But first! Please join Westbrook PTC at John L. Sullivan Park on July 9th from 9:30-10am while we vote in the new Westbrook PTC board. Your vote matters!
Furthermore, I am humbled by this entire co-founding and leading the charge of Westbrook PTC experience. While most endings are bittersweet, I’m also beaming with pride - WE absolutely ROCKED our inaugural year! The best part? WE did this (looking at YOU) together! Thank you will never be enough, but it’ll have to do for now.
I will miss you all and wish you all the best! I greatly look forward to being able to get to know you all in the wild! Not just as a community member, but as a fellow parent and hopefully a friend within the community too.
Looking ahead, congratulations to the future board on the next chapter of ! Don’t forget to celebrate yourselves… After all, !
Lastly, my final PSA please be good to your heart! Get yours and your children’s hearts checked regularly!! waits for no one and can happen at any time. If nothing else, become trained and certified in both CPR and the usage of AEDs!
If you’d like to keep up with me, you’re invited to follow me on Instagram. There you can learn more about my advocacy for all things heart warrior, congenital defect survivor, heart health advocate, living in a family with heart, our community involvement and more.
With love and gratitude,
Traci (and family)
