Celebrations Continue!

The RfA Board has been having a wonderful time honoring the retirement of our executive director, Marilyn Paarlberg, celebrating Room for All's vital ministry, and ensuring our future! Celebration parties in Pella, Iowa, and Kingston and Schenectady, NY have been memorable and joyful events, and the fun has just begun!
