A thank you from Alabama Gov. Riley to AFRW

FROM NFRW 10/21/2009 - Governor Riley Thanks Alabama Federation of Republican Women for Help on Making Birthdays Special for Alabama's Foster Children.

At the Alabama Federation of Republican Women's annual conference in Birmingham, Governor Bob Riley honored the AFRW for their work with the Alabama Birthday Wish for Foster Children program. The Governor also extended his congratulations to the AFRW for winning an NFRW "Caring for America Award" which was presented at the NFRW Convention in Orlando, FL.

"A birthday is such an important event in the life of a child. We want all children to have the opportunity to be recognized and celebrated on their birthday, and the Birthday Wish project is working to make sure every foster child in Alabama experiences the special feeling that comes with a childhood birthday," said Governor Riley.

"I commend the Alabama Federation of Republican Women for making this project their primary charitable cause and honor them for the recognition they received at the national level for their work."

Congratulations to President Bobbie Lou Leigh and members of the AFRW for your hard work on this project!

Congratulation to the Alabama Federation of Republican Women (AFRW)!
