Recovery Day on the Hill begins in the rotunda at 11 am and will be emceed by Suzanne Koepplinger, Executive Director of the Minnesota Indian Women's Resource Center. Former Congressman Jim Ramstad will kick us off with his message of hope for recovery, followed by a diverse group of policy makers, individuals in recovery, addiction recovery professionals, and other supporters of recovery like family members and employers. Following the speakers, MRC volunteers will assist individuals in locating their representatives so they may visit their reps to tell them why recovery and access to recovery support is important to them. The event should wrap up by 12:30 pm. We hope you can join us to help put a face and a voice on RECOVERY!
Our message is simple: Recovery works!
This is your chance to stand with other supporters of recovery, speak to your legislators, and help ensure that more people in Minnesota get the recovery support they need and deserve!

Organized by Minnesota Recovery Connection and the Recovery Works! Committee.
MRC is a non-profit organization that connects people to the network of resources that support individuals, families, and communities recovering from addiction. We envision a world where recovery from addiction is understood, promoted, embraced, and enjoyed and where all who seek it have access to the support, care, and resources they need to achieve long-term recovery.
We will be offering carpooling from MRC as an option for those in need of a ride. If you are interested in receiving or providing a ride, please RSVP with Jason at 651-233-2080, or email jason@minnesotarecovery.org by March 8, 2012.
