>>>>>>> I understand your transportation issue in Martin County.
>>>>>>> I have a suggestion for you.
>>>>>>> A chapter grant to cover providing transportation, for your chapter,
>>>>>>> to meetings, special events, like State Convention and other things
>>>>>>> the chapter feels are important to attend.
>>>>>>> There is a source that serves Martin and most of Palm Beach County.
>>>>>>> It is called the Lost Tree Village Charitable Foundation.
>>>>>>> They can provide up to $50,000.00 per grant, even buying a vehicle 
>>>>>>> if
>>>>>>> needed.
>>>>>>> You could contract with a local transportation provider company to
>>>>>>> give you the service your chapter needed.
>>>>>>> I have even done this for my chapter in the past.
>>>>>>> At one time, our chapter got a grant that provided a van and driver,
>>>>>>> each month, to pick up and bring in, our members and do most 
>>>>>>> anything
>>>>>>> else we needed for that day that involved transportation.
>>>>>>> It paid for the driver, with a nice tip, the gas, the insurance, the
>>>>>>> van and even let us rent other vans when we needed more than one, 
>>>>>>> such
>>>>>>> as when we took 21 members to a state convention in Orlando for 3 
>>>>>>> days.
>>>>>>> If you would like to hear more and work on a grant to do this, just
>>>>>>> write me back.
>>>>>>> I Think that the next due date for submitting a grant to Lost Tree 
>>>>>>> is
>>>>>>> coming up soon and now would be the right time to do it.
>>>>>>> The Florida State Convention is going to be held at the Embassy 
>>>>>>> Suites
>>>>>>> Hotel in Boca Raton in May.
>>>>>>> This could give you a way to bring everyone of your members to the
>>>>>>> convention and even get them to and from your chapter meetings for a 
>>>>>>> year.
>>>>>>> It could let you and your members attend Public Hearings to press 
>>>>>>> your
>>>>>>> County  Commissioners for more funding for better Public
>>>>>>> Transportation, so you guys have a better way to get to work and 
>>>>>>> just
>>>>>>> get around in general.
>>>>>>> Let me know.We need to get on it right away as the due date is soon
>>>>>>> and I am going away for my first guide dog on Feb. 8,2009.
