Here in Carver County, there are more than 300 senior
II
citizens as well as disabled and low income residents who
rely on bus transportation to meet their basic needs to
to the doctor, to buy groceries, to shop, or even to an 1
adult care or senior citizens center. Other transportation
is not available - to many of them.
We need your help. We are a non profit organization founded II
to help fund buses which provide a necessary link for our
seniors to the outside world. We solicit state and federal
grant money for the $35,000 annual investment in a new bus. II We provide the. private matching money necessary to qualify
for and obtain the governmental-grant funding.
• Buy a bus! If you help us buy a bus, you're making a tax II
deductible contribution and an investment in a senior
citizen who has been and continues to be a productive member
of our communities.

Very truly yours, 1
