A note for future public events: not just feed them and they will come; feed them well and they will stay for seconds! We in SD 61 DFL wanted to have a welcoming environment at our Ward 6 endorsing convention, as much social as political.
We had a roomful of people, about two-thirds delegates and one-third everybody else. Robert's parents were our guests and they were understandably proud of their son's warm reception by both our neighborhood entourage and the many others in public life who spoke well of him. We came together across the age, income, and diverse racial and ethnic profiles for which Ward 6 is well known AND we weren't all on the same page politically - I can't begin to guess what my fellow delegates will do when the city convention rolls around, but I certainly trust their future collective judgment and am just delighted that we are of one mind about CM Lilligren. We sure appreciated Barb's cooking and the small-town atmosphere was just plain refreshing.
