SENATOR WONDERLING TO PRESENT $5K GRANT

TO TOGETHER AS ADOPTIVE PARENTS

Sen. Rob Wonderling (R-24) will present a $5,000 grant to Together as Adoptive Parents, Inc. founder and executive director Phyllis Stevens on April 7 th at 11:30 a.m. at his Lansdale district office ( 427 West Main St.). The state funds were made available through the Community Revitalization Program administered by the Department of Community and Economic Development.

“Together as Adoptive Parents is a non-profit organization based in Harleysville formed to serve as a support system for adoptive and foster families,” Senator Wonderling stated. “I am delighted to have secured a grant that will aid in the progression of their mission.”

The grant will be applied toward the updating of the volunteer organization’s Web site, www.taplink.org. A temporary part-time employee will be hired for several months to update the listing of therapists, tutors and other resources.

We will be using these funds to update and freshen the resources on our web site www.taplink.org. Now we need to find someone willing to work part time calling potential resources and seeing if they can help our families. If any of our readers out there are interested in helping us out and earning a little money then let Phyllis know at (215) 256 0669.. You will need a phone and access to the Web.

Thank you very much Senator
