I heard Miss Perkins speech at the School Board Meeting in February. She has a definite gift with words. Her speech was encouraging, for me personally, that we have agood generation coming up who are aware of the problems ahead. Miss Perkins and her speech received a standing ovation.
Yes congratulations are in order for Little Ms. Perkins! I would that all our youth could be as inspiring as she.
Typical, we have a good thread on the blog and we only haver 2 people posting on it. Well I will. Congratulaions Lindsey Perkins, job well done.
8:51 Dont be discouraged. Its likely most people did not hear Lindsey speak or even know her. Maybe you can let her friends and family know about this topic and they could add their congratulations.
I also heard Ms Perkins speak at the school bd meeting, and she did an outstanding job. When I see teenagers like that it makes me think there is hope for us after all. I would love for her to give her speech to the full county commission. That group could learn from her.
Signed
I was there
To 11:49 She did give it before the full commission and did great as was reported by Mr. Barrett.
To 1:05 thanks for letting me know and please accept my apologies I must have missed that meeting.
I was there
