This issue looks backwards, summarizing our advocacy efforts this year and telling the story of your commitment to shaping a better Pennsylvania.  It also looks forward to future work, shaped by your input to the LAMPa 2010 Stakeholder Survey. Thank you for your ideas, insights, provocations, and passion for advocacy in Jesus' name that will take us there together.

 

In Christ,

 Amy E. Reumann, Director
