Who better to speak about RCAP's successes than the very people RCAP serves - the residents of communities where RCAP has worked. Here are what some had to say about RCAP from surveys distributed in RCAP's Great Lakes region:
|
“I don’t have near enough space to explain how RCAP has helped us. We are deeply indebted to RCAP and RCAP’s very dedicated employees.”
-- F. Roberts, Village of Middleport, Ohio
|
|
|
“We wanted to be involved in the process as much as possible, as opposed to just turning it over to the State of Indiana and letting them handle it. With Vicki Perry’s [RCAP staff member] help we have been able to participate in helping ourselves.”
-- V. Harrell, Miami, Ind.

"Wayne (Cannon) [RCAP staff member] did an exceptional job providing services in a very short time period. He was very helpful in connecting us with the right information and organizations to get our project funded.
-- P. Battes, Village of Williamsburg, Ohio
|
|
|
“There is no question in my mind that we would NOT have accomplished all that we have if we had not had RCAP’s support.”
-- S. Staley, Beanblossom, Ind.

“[RCAP] has helped with plans we didn’t know existed.”
-- L. Veach, Leauntain Run, Ky.
