<p class="MsoNormal">This is amazing. I’m so proud of all who have worked on this over the years. And Anna, you deserve a HUGE congratulations for all blood, sweat, and tears (some metaphorical and some not) that have gone into seeing this through in the
“age of Covid.” Congratulations to The Evergreen Project board. However you celebrate, you definitely deserve it today.<o:p></o:p></p>

the coming years. <o:p></o:p></p>
