Rick, Kay and Joe Roberts:

I wanted to give all of you a special "THANK YOU" for all the hard work you did keeping us all informed during this legislative session. We are fortunate to have all three of you. I believe MARLS was quite successful during this session, not only in the bills we supported, but also in the bills we were able to defeat.

Thanks again for all your hard work,

Jeff Larsen
