Why not dazzle your friends tonight, during the last few hours of May, with a little well-timed sweet-smelling botany trivia?  The Mayflower (pictured above), a gift from April showers, is the Massachusetts State Flower. I bet the kids know this in Plymouth County... 

Now onto the business at hand:

The tiny type in the invitation to the right is not an attempt at crowd control. I can't seem to get it to appear any larger, but please know that in BIG and bold, You're invited!  Trailblazing will be much better in person this month for sure, so please come. 

The invitation reads:

Congressman John F. Tierney and Senator Thomas M. McGee invite you to a reception honoring State Representative Lori A. Ehrlich

Lyceum Bar & Grill, 43 Church Street, Salem, MA

Note: Asking for campaign contributions has to be one of the most odious aspects of campaigning. However, it is a necessary component of our democratic process and will help to assure your choice of representation. As always, secure credit card transactions can be made at the campaign website www.loriehrlich.com after a review of the latest news. I hope to see you next Sunday evening and thank you in advance for your generosity.  ~Lori
