Can I and while we're on this outreach piece, because it's very important, if you'll indulge us, we wanted to share with you?
1:06:45
And this has never been public yet because it's been a demo that we've been working on.
1:06:49
And just as a background, the agency during the pandemic, almost a 100,000 people called our hotline.
1:06:57
And because people couldn't always access information just online and language, people called in all all of of various forms of language.
1:07:06
So we came up with this little jingle that we wanted to just share with you as just example of how we're trying to be creative in our outreach.
