experience.<i> </i> We will also have the full-service Secretary of State Mobile Office on site that day.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’re hoping you can help us by sharing information about this event with your library patrons. To make things simple, I’ve created a few messages you can share through your various communication channels. I’ve also attached an image you
can use and a flyer to post. In addition, I am providing an informational sheet on a rare opportunity for high school students to participate as “journalists” at a
<b>Student Press Conference</b> during SOSLive where they can personally ask Secretary Johnson questions. If you are able to share this information with high school students, we would be most grateful!
