Dear Ms. Lowart,
I am writing to you as the chairperson for the Keystone
Adult .Learning Center Committee. This center is an exciting
new program opening in the summer in the Tri-Valley to serve
severely developmentally disabled adults.' Presently, there are
no programs of this type in the Pleasanton-Livermore-Dublin- -
area for which these severely disabled adults are eligible.
This lack of service is having a devastating impact; most
often, it means the:Tri-Valley's disabled people spend their
adult lives confined at home or placed in State Hospitals. Due
to the sponsorship and support of the Kaleidoscope Activity
Center and the work of a group known as the Tri-Valley Advisory
Committee, families have another choice- the Keystone Adult
Learning Center.
Educational programming will be provided 6 hours per day.
Monday-Friday, essentially year 'round. The program will serve
20 clients over the age of 22 years:--
Funds that we have received through a grant are limited.
Those funds cannot be used for building modifications or
program equipment. Since much of our adaptive equipment is
extremely costly, we are looking for support from your
committee.
I would like to meet with your committee and make a
presentation to them regarding the support I am" asking from
them.
Please feel free to contact me at 829-8658 between 8:00
a.m.-2:30 p.m. or at 455-1815 after 3:00.
Pes'pectfully,
6.61,
