[Tricountydirectorsgroup] survey related to Subsidy cuts

[Lorraine Kinney-Kitchen]

Did everyone receive the email I sent out last week with the survey attached asking for input on the impact of subsidy cuts? I received only 2 responses which leads me to wonder if everyone was able to get/open the survey attachment. I was hoping to compile the info you remitted so that our 2 staff members going to the National "Day on the Hill" advocacy day could share our local data. They leave on Wed 3/7 in the AM. If you did get it and want to respond, please do as  soon as possible. If you didn't get it, I have pasted it below.
Thanks for sharing your stories
