PAHC Meeting with Chuck Edwards
Soon after last November's election PAHC sought a meeting with Rep.-Elect Chuck Edwards to take place early in his term in Congress. His staff were responsive and a meeting was set for his local office on Jan. 13, 2023. Chris Berg and Paul Weichselbaum participated in the meeting. Rep. Edwards' and his staffperson Tommy Laughter met with us for a little more than 30 minutes. As it turned out, PAHC was the first official delegation to meet in Hendersonville with the recentlly sworn in Rep. Edwards. View a recap of the meeting.
February Postcard Party Recap
We started writing postcards in January of 2017 and have sent tens of thousands over the years. Our February 17th Postcard Party & Social Time introduced a new and exciting model: instead of writing to legislators, we partnered with Hendersonville Pride and PFLAG to write postcards of love and support for LGBTQIA+ Hendersonville youth. We didn’t know the names, just the needs. The postcards, filled with positive messages, are being distributed and savored. We had well over 40 attendees and wrote over 150 postcards, as well as ten to local politicians. Many thanks to organizers Laura Bannister, Kim Guice and Josh Bledsoe— and to those who were moved to join us.
