Subject: [Tricountydirectorsgroup] survey related to Subsidy cuts
Importance: High

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
