Gratitudes
The following letter was sent to Josh Greenberg, director of State and Federal Relations in Children's Hospital Boston's Office of Child Advocacy.
Dear Mr. Greenberg,
I just wanted to let you know what a great experience my son and I had working with Lisa Mannix [Office of Child Advocacy] on legislation in committee at the State House. My son Adam, age 11, is in the OWL Program [Optimal Weight for Life] at Children's, and he was recommended to Lisa as a potential spokesperson in favor of Bill 1457, which mandates healthy snacks in schools.
Lisa did a great job of preparing us for Adam's testimony and keeping us informed through the process. She kept in constant contact by email, phone and cell. She met us and sat with us at the State House and this helped make for an exciting experience for Adam, without any of the anxiety.
Adam did a great job and was met by a small horde of reporters afterward and even made the evening news. We were really proud of him and grateful to Lisa for making it happen.
Sincerely,
Richard Barnett
