It has become a tradition to include the Center for Rural Affairs annual report in our March newsletter. Like many of you, we had both wins and losses last year, but because of your support, we are heading into the new decade with our finances in order and our will as strong and determined as ever.

The primary reason for our optimism is you – our supporters. Please take a moment and look over the names of all our donors in 2009 and so far in 2010 (starting on page 6 of the PDF). And if your name isn’t there yet, you can easily change that! Make an online donation, and you’ll be giving two gifts – support for our work and renewal of your newsletter subscription.

If you can’t afford to give, just send us an email and renew your newsletter anyway. We need all our voices raised on behalf of rural America. Together we can change our future.
