The first time I ever actually talked with Governor Dean was over lunch.
It was my first month at DFA, and I was in the office eating the messiest plate of tomato sauce and spaghetti imaginable. I had just put a big forkful in my mouth -- and in walked the Governor. I was mortified. I'd seen him onstage and in passing, but this was how I actually met him?
But here's the thing: Governor Dean couldn't have cared less. Right there in the office, he introduced himself, talked about how excited he was to meet me, and made me feel so at home, I almost forgot to put down the fork.
I wouldn't have traded meeting the Governor for anything -- and if you donate $4 or whatever you can today, you'll be automatically entered to win the chance to have a meal with him, too.
That story is one of my favorites, because it just sums up the Governor so well: straightforward, big-hearted, and excited to get to know all about you. Every time I've talked with him since, it's still a thrill seeing how genuinely he enjoys his work and the people he meets.
But you shouldn't take my word for it -- now's your chance to win a meal of your own with him. If you win, DFA will pick up the tab for airfare, hotel, and dinner, so you can focus on what's important: Getting to know Governor Dean.
Donate $4 or whatever you can today to be automatically entered to have dinner with the Governor.
And if you win...maybe don't order the pasta?
Good luck!

P.S. I'm just kidding, order whatever you want. But you can't win if you don't enter -- donate today.
