PARTNERSHIP TO END POVERTY Growing Lives, Together 6-10-09 Alan: Thanks for agreeing to consider helping our upcoming Volunteer Center project. Your $2,500 commitment will go a long way to helping us get the project off the ground. Given the fact that our first year's budget is only $50,000, you can see that your $2500 plays an important role in the startup. As per our conversation, I have filled out the application and the questionnaire that was part of that application. You will find it attached. Your support of our organization and our efforts to represent the low income segment of our county's population is greatly appreciated. Hopefully, we will present you with many more viable and needed opportunities to serve that constituency over the course of the next few years. Thanks again, Alan!
