[Colorado-talk] Valentine's Day at the Capitol

[Dan Burke]

Maybe Ryan, but we'll have to double-check the rules on gifts and meals, etc.

We can, however, bring our children.  In an attempt to get the date
out early I forgot that we discussed having our members who have
children bring them along if they like.  It's an important emotional
linkage to make with lawmakers.

Thanks to Nate Trela for that reminder!

Best,
Dan
