Recent RVF Retreat Drs. Lee-Melk, Ray and Hunt met with the RVF Board of Directors for the first annual Board Retreat. The all-day event included in-depth presentations on RVF patients, community health workers and scholarship recipients, as well as discussions of the mission statement, communications and fundraising strategy, and budget going forward. It was a fascinating and informative day for all. The exciting news, shared at all the events of the week, is the upcoming groundbreaking for a school/therapy center that RVF and CSRA are building in Montero, made possible by donations in memory of Joseph Andriola, and by The Gould Foundation.
