You're Invited:

RFW Legislative Day 2007

On March 14, 2007 RFW plans to hold our annual Legislative Day. Set aside that date for visits with your state legislators. It is important to let your elected officials know about the issues that affect you and the people you serve.

If you are interested in participating or have questions, please contact Michael Kirby (mkirby@rfw.org or 608-244-5310). Feel free to invite others to join us including additional staff, board members, your clients or their family members...the more people to tell your story, the more influential the visit will be.

As the event nears, we will post a schedule for the day and further information. We will plan on putting together packets of information for you to share with your legislator(s) including talking points on current issues.

Following are some legislative resources to help you prepare for your visit:
