We are delighted to announce our third mini-grant win (3 for 3!). The good folks at the Santa Rosa Community Advisory Board (CAB) support many kinds of grassroots projects. After considering our written proposal and listening to our oral presentation, the CAB voted to endorse our drive to purchase a bigger bookmobile. Many thanks to Ed Buonaccorsi, Jo Anne Cohn, and the rest of their team for seeking to improve opportunities for the low-income residents of Santa Rosa. We enjoy serving these families at locations like Landpath’s Bayer Farm, Indian Health Clinic, and the Head Start Program.
This greatly expands our ability to purchase a quality vehicle, for which we are on the lookout! It turns out there are some delivery-truck type conversions out there that don’t quite fit the bill. Generally the center aisle is too narrow and these trucks lack a wheelchair lift or ramp. So the search continues as well as the efforts to raise additional funds.
