***This is a message from a member of Friends of Students for 60,000*** Hola Emily et. al., Congratulations on this fine work. I'm very happy that many young people from Miami Dade and the HS you are cooperating with will benefit from this grant. I'm sure many will find there way, as have so many kids (now adults) from SF60K, toward a life time of involvement as result of what you have planned for them. Thanks for the kind words below, however I did little besides cooperating with the State Farm folks when they called and emailed. The real work was done by you folks at M/Dade who came together to write this grant. Maybe they can guide us at Friends toward some better grant opportunities. Be well.

Imagination Federation has been awarded a State Farm Youth Advisory Board grant for $96,300.00. This is our first grant as a chapter of Friends of Students for 60,000, and we are very excited to share the news with all of you. Here is the link to the State Farm announcement though a former press release will follow: http://www.statefarmyab.com/projects. The check ceremony is scheduled for the second week of September. This is a local environmental grant that involves high school and college students. I want to thank Peter White for all his support during the application process. Without his work behind the scenes, I am not so sure we would have gotten it. All of us here in Florida are very grateful, Peter, for your time and effort! Here is to future grants to come for all of us! All my best, Emily ------------------------------ End of fsf60k Digest V6 #72 *************************** *** You can unsubscribe from this list by sending an email to fsf60k-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field.
