As a former TAP myself, I *loved* seeing a packed house for the New TAP program! You all are the hands and feet of RCAP.
Day 1 of the National Conference kicked off with New TAP Orientation where we welcomed 56 new technical assistance providers from across the RCAP network. #RCAPConference24

โI was asked to discuss the priorities of USDA, and itโs simple: itโs people. Itโs not just the connections and the partnerships, but how we impact the people in rural America.โ

I am laughing so hard. This is hilarious!!
Here is the IDF drone footage of Sinwar just moments before he left this world. The โcourageous mightyโ leader of Hamas throws a stick at the IDF drone to try to bring it down. ๐๐๐๐๐๐

Not sure if this is real or accurate ... but says Sinwar threw a grenade at troops, the building was then shelled, & a drone sent in.
Sinwar threw rocks at the drone, and then a Kala (a Kala saar is a marksman), took him out with a shot to the head.

I was honored to be part of this event and the great work @RCAPInc's #Agua4All program does to bring clean water to communities that need it. Looking forward to serving more children and communities in the next year!

๐ฐ๐ง Clean water is a right, not a privilege.
Weโre spotlighting a recent HometownH2O project in South Carolina: we have installed bottle-filling stations at Allendale-Fairfax Elementary, ensuring students have safe, contaminant-free drinking water throughout the school day! ๐ซ

What a joy it was to be part of this event with @SERCAPWater and our great partners from @Xylem and Chris Long Foundation. There is no substitute for clean water! ๐ฐ

๐๐Congrats on this great win, @RCAP_Solutions!! Relying on a well should not have to mean having less safe drinking water.

Exciting news โ the MA Senate PASSED @JamieEldridgeMA's Amendment #59, "Private Wells Study", to the FY25 Budget! โ๏ธ
This amendment will provide $100,000 to @MassDEP to conduct a study for a program to ensure that drinking water from private wells is safe.

Thank you, Chairman @CongressmanGT and @repdavidscott for your work so far. RCAP looks forward to working with you, @SenStabenow and Sen. @JohnBoozman to get a #FarmBill passed that includes critical resources for rural/Tribal communities.
RCAP's @StigerTR is on Capitol Hill with @NCBACLUSA's Aaliyah Nedd at the @HouseAgGOP Committee's markup of its version of the #FarmBill. Read RCAP's letter outlining our priorities for this important legislation: tinyurl.com/42njf2zx
