Legislators & Cookies with COSA.
UPDATE with Resources!
A big THANK YOU to all the legislators, managers, and the wonderful crowd who came to the Hadley Senior Center on Tuesday for the return of COSA's Legislators & Cookies event! We learned a lot about the legislative calendar, budget priorities, and how to make our concerns heard by all our representatives. You can check out the presentation with a fabulous legislative timeline HERE. Kudos to Sam Hopper for pulling together such a wonderful slide deck!
Plus our panel took questions on issues ranging from successful legislative initiatives to the challenges of public transportation in western Massachusetts. We were delighted to see everyone and share some tasty treats!
