USA's November 14th Lobby Day is A Success!!

Thanks to your consistent phone calls, mailings to legislators and your
participation in the USA lobby day at the capitol, ConnPACE is safe!

The expanded program is scheduled to start taking applications in
January 2002 for the April 1, 2002 start date.

Don't Stop Now! Part of the legislation passed last session mandated that DSS apply for a federal waiver which will allow another expansion of the ConnPACE program.

We need to put pressure on DSS to complete this application and to
advertise the expansion to all Connecticut seniors.  Keep calling
your local legislators and tell them to MAKE DSS DO THEIR JOB!!!

The reason that ConnPACE was expanded and is safe from the budget
cuts is because of your hard work.  Your calls to your legislators are effective.

Keep up the great work!
