Dear Celebrating Rural Georgia Attendees,
Thank you for joining us in Augusta to Celebrate Rural Georgia. It has been rewarding to hear new ideas and share success stories from across the state. We hope that you will take a few ideas and thoughts from this conference as you lead in your local community or organization. If you are looking for any additional information, you will find a link to each power point presentation that we have received as well as available speaker contact information.
We look forward to seeing your accomplishments at the next Celebrating Rural Georgia conference!
Sincerely,
The Celebrating Rural Georgia Committee
