Thanks for giving youth opportunity in state capitol

Recently, my two young grandsons served as pages for state Sen. Ken Yager during the Tennessee General Assembly’s legislative session in Nashville.

I want to thank Sen. Yager for giving the boys this opportunity to observe the workings of our state government at first hand and to participate in a very direct way.

Sen. Yager couldn’t have been kinder to my grandsons, their parents and to me during our visit, and we sincerely appreciate his taking time from his busy schedule to make this such a special day.  

I urge other parents (and grandparents) to take advantage of Sen. Yager’s offer to host children from his district as pages and give them this wonderful opportunity to learn about our state capitol and its government.
