<P class=MsoPlainText>The message below is from SRC Legislative Committee member
Sharon Fields.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>Dear Fellow SRC Member,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>I wanted you to know that the budget bill, House Bill 265,
is still under consideration. I ask that you keep actively supporting the
addition of funds for the Office for the Blind. Time is getting short and it is
necessary to keep the pressure on if we want to get additional funding.
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText>Below is a list of members of the conference committee for
HB 265. If every Council member could contact each committee member, it
may make a difference in the agency’s funding. Please join me in lobbying
for support for the blind and visually impaired of the Commonwealth, before it’s
too late.<o:p></o:p></P>
