The following individuals accepted the invitation to attend: Rep. Brenda Dietrich, Rep. Jim Gartner, Rep. Annie Keuther, Rep. Fred Patton, Rep. Freda Warfield and Rep. Virgil Weigel. Legislators will make opening remarks regarding their thoughts and hopes for the upcoming legislative session, then take questions from the audience. You will want to get there early for a good seat.
