<DIV>Greetings to all!</DIV>
<DIV>Working together to make a difference has been written and spoken many
times.</DIV>
<DIV>Below you will witness that working together does make a
difference.</DIV>
<DIV>A personal thanks to Ellen Sullivan, interim secretary and chair of the
fund raising and grant committee and to Brian Mackey, treasurer of the
affiliate
and others for assisting with comments and financial statements to submit to
Allergan Foundation for consideration for a grant for the BELL Academy for
2019.</DIV>
<DIV>The results were positive, read below.</DIV>
<DIV>This is the second grant awarded this past several months. The
first
award of $5,000 was granted from the Bausch Foundation to assist with the
BELL
Academy and to provide with sponsorship to assist with expenses for the
state
convention for 2018.</DIV>
<DIV>Again, congratulations to all members in the affiliate as we receive
and
gain strength from your involvement to raise expectations to live the life
we
want!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Warmly, </DIV>
<DIV>Joe </DIV>
