She had planned to retire at the end of 2009, but is leaving earlier because the global economic crisis is forcing FCNL to downsize, restructure our work and discontinue the position of Field Program Secretary. We're downsizing, but our critical work of helping people around the country engage with Washington will continue.<br /><br />We at FCNL want to invite you -- the people whom Kathy cares about the most -- to help us thank her for all that she has done and to let her know that we will be continuing to work together in the future – though it will be different. We've set up this blog where you can leave comments, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/group/fcnl">a page for you to make a video message</a> about how Kathy has affected your life, and a place where you can <a href="https://action.fcnl.org/campaigns/kathyguthrie/kg-gift">give a contribution to FCNL</a> to help with our work around the country.</span><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: arial;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" ><span class="505080717-23012009"><span><span style="font-family:arial;">You can share your thoughts in the comments.</span><br /></span></span></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1909503342198468714-3705081030397024617?l=kathyguthrie.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Carolinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17389025262956656076noreply@blogger.com54
