Letter from Jessica to NAFGPD Members, June 2007.

Dear Jane:

 

I want to thank from the bottom of my heart all of the FGP volunteers, FGP project directors, and all of the children and teachers who wrote letters to their Senators and Representatives about what FGP means to them.  Please let them know how much I appreciate their time, their effort, and their willingness to make their voices heard. I believe they will truly help us in our fight to restore funding to FGP. 

 

I received over 1000 letters and was deeply touched as I read through them.  Please let everyone know I consider it a great privilege to work on behalf of the NAFGPD. 

 

Sincerely,

Jessica Malow
