Would you please send this on to Sherry Brom?
I bought something from Blind Treasurers and I want to buy something again 
from them but I don't have the phone number or the web site so I can contact 
him again.
Obviously I am somewhat blocked from the list.  But this is very important 
to me.

>>>>>>>> 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.
