Hi Friends: Bad news today- no RAVS for 2009. Just got this email.
Sincerely, Karen Good RLRR

Hi Karen-- We are finalizing the HSVMA-RAVS 2009 clinic schedule and unfortunately due some changes we will have to make to our schedule next year, we will not be able to get to Red Lake in 2009.
Limited resources and availability of staff have resulted in a reduction in the number of clinics we are able to fund and necessitated redistribution of resources. Unfortunately, this means that we have had to make some difficult decisions and have had to limit the number of communities we are able to serve. We are also needing to return to some of the communities that we have had to cut from the schedule the past several years who have been waiting patiently for us to make time in the schedule again.
We sincerely wish that we were able to serve all of the communities requesting assistance and hate to cut back, but have to maintain the health and sanity of our staff and organization.
We have very much enjoyed working at Red Lake and do hope to continue to expand the program again in 2010 and to get back to some of the communities we will not reach this year.
Dr. Peterman is still living in MN and is working with other communities, including Mark Sekulich up at Leech Lake, on alternate clinic possibilities with local/regional organizations. She would be happy to talk with you about the programs they are working on and whether they might be a good addition to the work you are doing there.
If you have any questions or there is anything else we can do to provide support, please let me know. We do hope to work with you again soon.
Thank you, --Windi
