Hi Cheryl:
Hope you are recovering from the fun filled legislative session ugh! 'I see that Ryan Winkler
is getting some press regarding the Governor's tactics.
Anyway, I wanted towrite to you to let you know to look for a great application for the Youth
position on the Hopkins .Human Rights Commission. My daughter's close friend Riley
Be in has recently applied for this position. She is a Hopkins; student entering her Senior
year next year. AS a former Golaen valrey city councilmember and former council liaison to
our Human Rights Commission, l would have loved to have had Riley on our
Commission.But you are the lucky one because she lives in Hopkins. I have known her for
4 years and she is incredibly mature, intelligent, analytic, passionate, and a hard worker.
She appears to balance school, orchestra, swimming and after school work incredibly well.
Most recently she created a Junior High Dare 2 Be Real Anti - racism group; curriculum that
wili. be implemented next year.
When I asked her why she wanted to serve<she said, " I want to serve on commission to be
an ally of minorities and immigrants in my community, to help people develop inter - racial
relationships; and to be a partof"developing and strengthening equitable institutions in
Hopkins. I'd bring my experience with leadership and anti- racism work with children,
passion /drive, experiences as a white person committed to diversity work.
I don't know, if the Hopkins councilmembers make the selection. like we do in Golden Valley
but she would be an absolutely great choice. If I need to contact someone else please let
me know,
Hope you have fun summer. plans. Talk to you soon.
