Thank you very much for attending our 2011 Annual Winter Forum and Gala. It was a pleasure having you there to talk about all the needs of people that you support in your rural communities. We hope your travel and hotel reservations were to your liking and that you were satisfied with our choice in food at the Forum and Gala. We really count on your support in the Rural Coalition. We hope that you have joined Rural Coalition and our Farm and Ranch Teams and that you will work with us as to help plan future events like this one. In thanks, we offer you this greeting and collage of pictures from the Winter Forum taken by our lovely camerawoman, Thea Fry. We hope all of you can attend our next Forum and Gala in November 28-29, 2012.

– Ayisah Yusef, RC Fellow, for all the staff and Board of the Rural Coalition.
