Last Saturday saw terrific turnout for the first in-person meet and greet of the year with State Sen. Ann Gillespie, 27th District, and GPAD neighbor State Rep. Mark Walker, 53rd District. Thank you to everyone who turned out to chat with the legislators or dropped off donations of women's hygiene products. Sen. Gillespie is donating the items to WINGS on Northwest Highway.
