Hello RCM Supporters

Despite the continuing difficulties, RCM staff have been hard at work continuing to support our community. We'd like to share what we've been up to in the month of May and more information on how to stay healthy and happy. 

Stay Home - Stay Busy - Stay Healthy! 

What are you doing to stay busy while at home? Our folks are doing puzzles, planting seeds, baking cookies, and much more! A special shout out to our DSPs for keeping everyone safe, healthy and engaged! 

How are you keeping busy during this time? Send us your pics! Plus, check out our Facebook page for daily updates from RCM and helpful articles.
