Hello,

2009 was a difficult year for a lot of people. In response to the lost jobs, lost homes, major and minor tragedies, personal frustrations, heartbreak, etc., I am working on a project that called "2009 Was A Rough Year" and I am hoping that you would be willing to help me.

I would need you to:

1. Take a picture that represents the worst, most heartbreaking, or most frustrating moment you experienced in 2009.

2. E-mail it to me at lilly.mcelroy@gmail.com

3. Include as much or as little additional information as you would like.

I'm planning on turning this into a slide show and making a website. If you want to remain anonymous you can.

Please pass this on to anyone who might be interested.

Thank you for your help.
