Dear Seniors,
I am so happy to announce that
as of today, I have received $112,
382.00 in grant funds for our new fiscal
year! We are off to a great start
and I am hopeful we will continue
with more funding opportunities to
help increase our already extensive
list of activities and programs! Last
year, I was able to bring in (through
grant writing, fundraising, and donations)
and with the help of my wonderful
and dedicated staff and volunteers—(drum
roll please…………..
$178, 012.00 for our residents!) YAY!
100% of funds raised go directly to
the programs & services I establish
for our Montville seniors & social services
clients. I look forward to continuing
this success and offering even
more for our seniors !!! Thank you
for making my job so enjoyable!

She was the first presidential spouse to hold press conferences, write a syndicated newspaper column, and speak at a national convention. She advocated for expanded roles for women in the workplace, the civil rights of African Americans and Asian Americans, and the rights of World War II refugees.
