Sharing thanks ... and photos!
Congress literally could not function without
the hundreds of volunteers who give of their time. to make our event happen. From those on planning committees with months of work to those Ministers of the Cup who stepped in the last-minute to help out at the Arena liturgy -- we thank you all. You can find some of these "behind the scenes" people in the photo links for Volunteers and Behind the Scenes off our
2009 RECongress Photos page.
This is our last emailing
for Congress 2009. We'll be
back with Congress 2010
information in September. Be
sure you're on the Emailing
list!

ONLINE
 SURVEY REMINDER: Survey available only until Tuesday, March 24.
For those who attended Congress and haven't submitted your survey yet, please take a few minutes and complete our online evaluation. There is a great deal of thought and effort that has gone into
planning the RECongress, and we'd like to know how effective our
efforts have been. We’d like to hear from you, especially
if you would rate any event as “excellent” or “poor.”
Please let us know the reasons for your evaluation at
the end of the survey in the box labeled "Suggestions for improvement."
For those
who filled out the paper version of the form: if
possible, we ask that you also please take the online
survey. We can tally our information much sooner using
the online method. By taking the online version of the survey, you
greatly aid our staff. Please
take the Congress Evaluation.
