State Legislative Day

March 11, 2010 

We are hoping to have a large turnout of members for this event. Please note that with Health Care Reform having passed, it is extremely important that our legislators see who we are, understand the services we provide and know to access our services. We will be providing you with more details so but I strongly encourage you to mark the date on your calendar and plan on participating in this event.

Contact Kathy Backes datruthgrip@aol.com if you would like to carpool.
