Good Morning Everyone,
This is an urgent email to let everyone know that we just got word from OSA and after digging around, the news from LANSING is not good at all for Senior Companion and Foster Grandparent Programs.
The House of Representatives version of the 2012 Budget has us being totally eliminated that means no Foster Grandparent, Senior Companion and RSVP Programs.
The Senate version of the 2012 Budget Bill has us getting a 15% cut.
What I would like is for you to contact your local representatives and senators and ask them why they would want to go beyond what Governor Snyder had proposed and that was a 9% cut. Please help out in anyway you can! Write letters, call, fax and email. The urgency is there and this needs to be done by Monday afternoon.
