2024 RAF YEAR END LETTER – WYSIWYG

Every year I sit down to write this letter and give you a sense of why we do what we do, and how you help.

The inspiration for me this year is, “What you see is what you get”, or “WYSIWYG,” coined two decades before the RAF, so we can’t take credit for the phrase. But we’d like you to know that we are an organization with no secrets, no hidden agendas, nor much else you don’t know about us. We just keep it simple.

We are an organization of volunteers that set out to do some good work.

The RAF asks you to support us, and when you do, we put your dollars to work getting some pretty amazing things done – so much more than we imagined when we started. We have done what we’ve done by listening and learning from you. We’re a better organization as a result, and most importantly, we are what you see – WYSIWYG.

So we are asking you again this year. If you like what we do, send us a few bucks; if you love what we do, maybe send a few more. Either way we will continue to make the most with what we have and continue to be the trustworthy organization you’ve grown to know!

Sincerely,
RAF Board of Directors:
John McKenna, Chairman
Bill McGlynn, President
Tim Riley, Vice President
Mike Perkins, Treasurer
