Attached hereto are the letters sent, the written requests of each organization, and the list of organizations with the amount of their requests. The total request is $27,255.50 with the budgetary allocation set at $7,500.00. Keep in mind that the Lions Club Parade, the Fair exhibit, and students who may need assistance for a project are not taken from these funds, but rather your Community Promotion accounts. If you have any further questions regarding a request, we can promulgate the answer with the organization for your next meeting; if not we would recommend the funding of the organizations that you wish to support.

City of Ocoee 1993-94 Brief History: Girl Scouting has been serving girls across this country since 1912 . In 1956, several small Girl Scout Councils were brought together to form Citrus Council of Girl Scouts . Since that time, Citrus Council has been chartered by Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. to bring Girl Scout program to girls, ages 5-17, in six Central Florida counties : Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Brevard, Volusia and Flagler. Girl Scouting is an informal, educational program based on four program emphases; encouraging girls to reach their full potential, teaching them to set their own values, helping them to relate well with others and supporting their efforts to contribute to society. Project Description: In order to meet the needs of girls from racially/ethnically diverse, low-income families and address prevention of substance and child abuse, youth suicide, teenage pregnancy and pre- graduation drop-out, Citrus Council has developed a series of "Discover Your World" events at local community centers and intersession events at Maxey William Elementary School . An intersession is the time period when youth are out of class in a year round school setting. By participating in "Discover Your World" or intersession activities, girls have an opportunity to see themselves as individuals of worth and reach their full potential, understand some of the forces that influence them as they develop and learn to cope with the stresses that they encounter. Girls become more self-confident, establish good study habits and ultimately become more productive adult members of society. Girl Scouting meets community needs as well : an educated citizenry, increased cross-cultural and racial understanding, environmental protection, interest in the arts, health and fitness, career information and skill development for its young people. Application of "Discover Your World" events at community centers and intersession events at Maxey William Elementary School are tailored to the specific needs of the girls participating. The success of the programs is measured by participant evaluations, as well as evaluations completed by adult volunteers. Participant information is tracked to determine if girls take part in subsequent events and whether the girl is, or becomes a registered Girl Scout. Citrus Council is continually expanding to serve additional girls in year-round elementary schools and local community centers not currently served through Girl Scout activities . Citrus Council is working with personnel at schools and community centers to implement events during 1994-95. Approximately 50-65 girls will be served at each event. This figure is based on the number of girls being served by Girl Scout intersession and "Discover Your World" events in Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Volusia and Brevard Counties . To date, nearly 50% of the girls attending intersession events have become registered Girl Scouts. At the present time, no other youth serving organizations offer intersession activities . Figures are not available as to the percentage of girls attending "Discover Your World" events who have become registered Girl Scouts . Estimate of Ocoee population served: Citrus Council currently serves 30 Girl Scout troops in West Orange County; 330 registered girl members participate in 16 troops located in the City of Ocoee.

Lakeshore Drive Ocoee, FL 34761 Dear Ms . Grafton: Citrus Council of Girl Scouts gratefully acknowledges the community support that the City of Ocoee provides to its residents . The City of Ocoee' s contributions to GIFTS For Girls, Citrus Council ' s Annual Giving Campaign, have helped to provide new equipment for, and serve girl members throughout Ocoee. We are thankful that in the past the City of Ocoee has chosen to support Citrus Council and we request that you support Girl Scouting again in 1993- 94 . A Citrus Council representative would like to speak before the City Council at its next meeting to present this request. Since 1956, Citrus Council has been serving Central Florida girls. During 1992, over 6,000 adult volunteers served more than 21,000 girls in six Central Florida counties : Orange, Flagler, Brevard, Osceola, Seminole and Volusia. This service was provided at an annual cost of $80 .00 per girl. The service provided to girls is an informal, educational program based on four emphases : encouraging girls to reach their full potential, teaching them to set their own wato their communities .ith others and supporting their efforts to contribute We would like to suggest that the City of Ocoee provide funds to enable Citrus Council to serve additional ethnically diverse girls . During this year, Citrus Council will continue to broaden its membership' s knowledge of the council ' s commitment to cultural diversity, pluralism and community responsibility. Citrus Council is striving to increase ethnically diverseer membership through interaction with representative community groups throughout our jurisdiction, and as a result will bring our membership to racial/ethnic parity with the general population. The City of Ocoee' s gift of $500 .00 would serve girls in Ocoee. At whatever amount you choose, Citrus Council will be grateful for your support. Your support, along with many others in our community, is vital to continuing Girl Scouting' s top-quality service to Central Florida girls .

This day and age I can not imagine anything more needed than instilling values in young people. That mission is being fulfilled in the city of Ocoee. There are very few areas in the country with as many Cub Packs, Boy Scout Troops and Exploring Posts per capita as the City Of Ocoee. Ocoee boasts three Cub Scout Packs, including one brand new one at Spring Lake Elementary, four Boy Scout Troops and one Police Explorers Post. There are more than 225 boys enrolled in Scouting in Ocoee alone! The question remains, who pays for all of this. Well, the parents are asked to help underwrite part of the costs, United Way helps with part of the costs and local business, foundations and others help pay for the rest. That is how you can help. The cost to support the program, local camp, training for leaders and manpower to recruit Ocoee boys into the program is $75. 00 per boy per year. Many parents voluntarily contribute this amount annually, but an even greater number simply can not. Please consider underwriting 10% of the cost of keeping the Scouting program alive and well in Ocoee. 225 registered Scouts X $75.00 $16,875. 00 10% = $1,687.50 Thank you for seriously considering this proposal. I look forward to what hopefully will be your positive response. Sincere .

We Care Crisis Center was formed 28 years ago to provide a range of crisis-related services in Orange and Seminole Counties. The agency is open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. In fact, the agency has not closed its doors since becoming a twenty-four hour operation in 1983. WCCC provides three broad areas of service in your community, EDUCATION & PREVENTION, INTERVENTION AND POST CRISIS CARE. Through our EDUCATION & PREVENTION program, the agency provides your Middle and High School students with a presentation on suicide awareness and prevention. This program is critical as our young people are choosing suicide in very high numbers. Suicide is ranked second only to homicide in leading causes of death, and for every completed suicide there are six to twelve attempted suicides. Through our INTERVENTION program, your citizens have the ability to talk with a trained worker via our HOTLINE or TEEN HOTLINE. The agency receives over 28,000 incoming hotline calls every year. Because the hotline is anonymous, we cannot provide specific statistics pertinent to your city. We also offer student support groups for at-risk students. We have conducted such a support groups within the schools that serve your young people. Finally, the agency has provided POST CRISIS CARE on an as-need basis, offering support after a traumatic death. 2. See attached 3. The agency is requesting support in purchasing and providing a hotline sticker to each household within your city which would be included in your utility bills. Additionally, we are asking that you help support the services that are being provided to your city as listed above (see attached budget information). 4. All Middle and High School Students and all households. 5. The expenditures we currently incur for providing services within your city are vastly supported through dollars from other areas. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide the level of services we would prefer because of the difficulty in securing additional dollars in support of our programs. 6. $2,000 RR•1tiie;�Grf STATE OF FLORIDA / DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE R.01/93 ;.

Lakeshore Dr. Ocoee, Florida 34761 November 12, 1993 Gentlemen: The Troop Committee of Boy Scout Troop 198 wishes to express its thanks for the opportunity to request part of the funds which the City of Ocoee plans to set aside for charitable purposes in the next fiscal year. The city has been most generous to scouting in the past. It is our hope that this year the Board of City Commissioners will see fit to make part of their charitable contribution to our local scout troop, for the specific benefit of the young people we try to serve. As you are well aware, the Boy Scouts of America are a completely non-profit organization and all of our troop' s adult leaders are unpaid volunteers. Their efforts have helped to make it possible for four of our former scouts to reach the rank of Eagle Scout, an honor achieved by fewer than three percent of all boys who enter scouting. Troop 198 presently includes twenty boys from the Ocoee area who range in age betwen 11 and 17. These young men and their adult leaders spend a great deal of their free time in various fundraising activities to benefit the troop. In the past two years they have raised and spent over $18,000. 00. Almost all the money earned was used to pay the expenses involved in taking the troop on its annual , week-long, summer camp. In past years Troop 198 has made long canoe and camping trips on two Florida rivers, and has taken its scouts to high adventure camps such as Camp Daniel Boone in the mountains of North Carolina, Florida Sea Base in the Florida Keys, and Skymont Camp in Tennessee. Since many of our scouts come from single parent and low-income homes, it is important the troop bear as much of the expense for these activities as possible. Thanks to the hard work of our scouts, and the generosity of several local businesses and civic groups - especially our sponsor, the Ocoee Lions Club - no member of Troop 198 has ever been left out of a troop activity because of financial difficulties at home. In addition to raising funds for this year' s summer camp and other activities, the troop also needs to invest a fairly substancial amount of money in replacing camping equipment which has gradually worn out with frequent use. ° ' . . Because of these expenses, the Troop Committee of Boy Scout Troop 198 asks that the Ocoee Board of City Commissioners consider making a $500. 00 grant to the troop part of their charitable contributions for the next fiscal year. You have our "scout' s promise" that this money will be used to help instill the spirit of scouting in the youth of our community. Your contribution would help make possible experiences which can change the lives of a fine group of boys, experiences they might never enjoy outside of scouting. However, before closing this request for funds, the Troop Committee, along with the scouts themselves, wish to make a final point. Although we are most grateful for the support the Ocoee community continues to give Troop 198 and appreciate donations made to help bring the scouting experience to our young scouts, we would much rather earn financial support. The troop is always willing to work for the funds it receives. Further, community service, even without compensation, is an integral part of the Boy Scout creed. Troop 198 has done a number of service projects for the city in the past, although insurance and liability considerations have in recent years limited these to the Adopt-a-Road program. Furthermore, we have several scouts who will soon need to begin service projects to earn their advancement to the rank of Eagle Scout. These young men would like to work on projects recommended by their city government. If any city department can make use of Troop 198 to serve the Ocoee community, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for considering our request. ly.

Tony Rey Jerry Richardson Fr.Robert Rizner Every municipality in Central Florida is being asked to Stephen Salley share the cost of providing quality, comprehensive Joan Scheinblum services for the homeless of Central Florida. We are Jan Walker asking all municipalities to share the cost because Robert Wheeler homeless people are drawn or sent to the cities where Bruce Williams support is available from governmental and non-profit Harold Worrall agencies and employment oppportunities are more Tom Yochum plentiful. This concentration on the cities acts like a magnet drawing the homeless from surrounding suburban and President rural areas where the same opportunities are not Michael Poole available. 639 West Central Boulevard Orlando,Florida 32801 (407)425-5307 FAX(407)422-3822 1 • Orlando has become the primary location for homeless shelters and recovery programs. Of 1184 sleeping spaces available for the homeless in Central Florida, all but 70 are located in Orange County. The funding of homeless programs and facilities should not fall entirely on one or two or four funding sources within the Central Florida region. Winter Park and Altamonte Springs also are sharing the cost of services. The State of Florida's Comprehensive Housing Affordablity Strategy (CHAS) indicates that there are 690 people homeless on any given night in Seminole County and 2500- 3000 in Central Florida. We have not tracked our residents by municipality and therefore, cannot tell you the exact number of people from Ocoee. A few years ago, 90% of the homeless were single men. Today 40% are families with children and this group represents the fastest growing segment of the homeless population. Seventy per cent of the homeless in Central Florida are already residents of Florida when they become homeless. The Coalition's mission is to provide homeless families and individuals with shelter, food, housing options, education, advocacy, support services, and case management focused on returning homeless people to self sufficiency. Being homeless is harsh on the body, the mind, and the spirit. Shelter and food stablize people so they can begin to work their way back to a normal life. At the Coalition they can begin that journey. Their children, K-5th grade, will enter the Cool School on Campus - a school that provides a supportive environment and insures school attendance. Three and four year olds enter the HeadStart program. A program for infants to three year olds is being developed. This program will provide a place for parents to safely leave their children while they work. Adults are tested when they enter the Homeless Center to determine their educational level. Our adult education program works with them based on where they are in their educational and life skills development. Some are skilled artists so we try to place them in commercial art schools. Others are college material so we prepare them and access funds that enable them to go to college. Some people do not have a highschool diploma. In this program they can acquire their G.E.D. Commputers will be available for training and for preparing resumes. Classes are conducted from 8:30 am to 9:00 pm Monday through Friday. The Coalition has begun a jobs program to develop access to jobs for qualified individuals. We seek permanent jobs with a future, not temporary employment. We screen people and prepare them to be successful on the job by providing training in job behavior and attitude. Our placements have had positive results with employers requesting additional people. To enable residents to seek employment, we are installing phones in the Homeless Center for calling about jobs and for receiving return calls from prospective employers who will not know they are calling into a homeless center. People who are making progress in their case plan, have obtained employment, and are saving money, may be eligible for transitional housing where they begin to experience more independent living. This is the last part of the journey to self sufficiency. Eighty percent of the people who complete the case management and transitional housing program have remained independent for at least one year or more. To insure success, we offer case management and support services for six months after they leave our facilities. The Coalition brings over 25 support services to the Coalition Campus in order to have a comprehensive program in one place. Even primary health care is available on campus through volunteer doctors, nurses, medical social workers. By Decemvber we expect to offer dental and eye care in addition to primary care. Publishing houses around the country and local groups have donated books so that we can set up a library for the children and the adults. In summary, the Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida is an excellent example of a community working together to develop solutions. From corporations, foundations, churches, synagogues, civic groups, individuals, government, law enforcement, has come outstanding support in terms of funding, time, effort, volunteers. The Coalition is also a model of what volunteers can accomplish. We served 198,560 meals in 1992 but paid only $400. How? With volunteers! Volunteer groups from churches, synagogues, businesses, and other organizations commit to one night a month at one of the shelters. On their night they obtain the food, prepare it, bring it to the campus and serve it. During 1992 over 3600 volunteers were involved in Coalition programs. This outpouring of community support is the foundation of the Coalition's success. The descriptions provided in this letter and the attachments cannot begin to paint a complete picture of what we are doing at the Coalition. It must be seen. You, the mayor, and each commissioner are invited to tour our facilities. Just call me at 426-1250 and I 'll arrange it. Best regards, cL(.4-1 -----/ -)4,./_:L5;:aa-a--- Judith T. Bennett Vice President Marketing and Development YOU PRUE THE P.H.T.H. People's Hlternatlue To Homelessness Coalition Campus The Coalition has built a Coalition Campus for the Homeless on 3.3 acres at 639 West Central Blvd., Orlando. The Coalition Campus is a unique, comprehensive approach to providing an integrated package of services for the homeless. The campus facilities and programs have been designed to accommodate all segments of the homeless population and to support the homeless through the different stages of returning to self-sufficiency. Through the Coalition Campus, the growing homeless population of Central Florida can access the services and programs needed to rebuild their lives. On site, the Coalition offers shelter for up to 700 residents; an evening meal open to anyone who is hungry; adult education classes 12 hours a day; a wide variety of on-site educational and recreational opportunities for homeless children; a full-time Health Care Center for all of Central Florida's homeless; telephones for job and housing contacts; transitional and permanent housing programs; over 25 support services; and case management focused on returning the homeless to self-sufficiency. The formerly unmet needs of people without a home have been combined into one unified Coalition Campus for the Homeless, providing not just a place to rest, but a clear PATH for the difficult journey home faced by so many of Central Florida's homeless residents. _ • : Coalition for the Homeless Page 7 Sue of Central Florida • YOU PHUE THE P.H.T.H. People's Hlternatiue To Homelessness Coalition History In the early 1980s, homelessness was growing at an alarming rate. By 1985, more and more families were becoming homeless and were huddling for the night in a makeshift shelter set up in a downtown Orlando church. The homeless were bathing in public restrooms, urinating in bushes, sleeping in parking lots, and commiting petty crimes just to survive. The citizens of Central Florida became concerned about their neighbors in need. It was this concern that created the Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida, Inc., formed in 1987 as a non- profit, tax-exempt corporation when a group of Central Floridians came together to address homelessness in their community. The Coalition's first shelters opened in 1988 — a shelter for 70 people and a transitional apartment building for 7 families. The Coalition began small, but the founders had a vision that one day the organization would build a multipurpose shelter to provide a complete package of quality services for the homeless. Today, the organization involves the same groups whose concern created the Coalition — businesses, religious groups, government entities, social service agencies, civic groups, law enforcement agencies, and individuals. The founders' vision of a multipurpose shelter is now becoming a reality at the Coalition Campus for the Homeless, where a variety of quality programs and services for the homeless are being provided, all focused on the Coalition's original goal — returning the homeless to self-sufficiency. •�.u oalition for the Homeless s Page 1 of CCentral Florida • YOU PAUE THE P.A.T.H. People's Alternative To Homelessness What makes the Coalition different?. The Coalition for the Homeless is a pioneer with regard to homeless issues. This pioneering effort has catapulted the Coalition into the role of national and statewide model for programs helping the homeless. The Coalition has often been the first to create programs or provide various types of services. For example: ❑ First to use a"campus"approach ❑ First to create a "pavilion"type shelter ❑ First in Orlando to open a 24-hour shelter LI First to open an on-site school for homeless children ❑ First in nation to open an on-site Boys and Girls Club ❑ Mental health and substance abuse counselors on site, making the Coalition able to treat the dually diagnosed. ❑ On-site health services center ❑ Comprehensive case management approach to helping individuals and families return to self-sufficiency ❑ Developed manuals for operations, case management, housing and volunteers The Coalition is the only homeless program in the community that ❑ Accepts all segments of the homeless population, including the mentally ill, substance abusers,the chronic homeless, the unemployed, pregnant women, ex-convicts, people with AIDS. ❑ Provides extensive case management ❑ Is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week ❑ Does not charge for programs or services LI Provides an indefinite length of stay based on an individualized case plan •• Coalition for the Homeless Page 3 1'/ of Central Florida • YOU PAUE THE P.A.T.H. People's Alternatliue To Homelessness Case Management Food and shelter alone do not help the homeless return to self- sufficiency. Case management is the key to moving beyond the shelter and never having to return. Case management services are available to all residents of Coalition programs. When a family or individual begins residing in a shelter, they meet with a case manager to develop a personalized plan and timetable focused on returning to self- reliance. Individualized attention is given to the needs of each resident, and case managers are a compassionate and confidential resource for discussions of personal problems or special needs. Case managers use a variety of community-based resources combined with on-site programs and services to offer residents the opportunity to return to self-sufficiency. A case management plan would include: J Problem identification J Outlining the person's responsibilities j Referrals to services and counseling J Reinforcement of self-esteem and self-confidence j Weekly monitoring by case managers j Referrals to the Health Care Center j Follow-up by volunteer outreach assistants for six months after leaving the Coalition Campus %: Coalition for the Homeless Page 4 In of Central Florida YOU PRUE THE P.R.T.H. People's Rlternatiue To Homelessness Community Support Part of the Coalition's operational philosophy is to link with other service providers whenever possible rather than attempt to meet the many needs of the residents through the internal development of new services. Because of this, the Coalition has developed a variety of referral links and in-house programs which significantly extend its ability to address the needs of residents. Individuals and families are provided the following support services depending on their individual needs: Adult education programs Clothing • School for grades K-5 Counseling Before/after school care Mental health counseling Veterans assistance Teenage pregnancy prevention Job training/referral/access Parenting classes Domestic spousal abuse Substance abuse counseling Drug/alcohol programs Legal aid Health care services Transportation Assistance with government benefits Aids education GED training Budget/money management Boys and Girls Club Headstart • l Coalition for the Homeless Page 5 MIS of Central Florida • YOU PAVE THE P.A.T.H.

FLORIDA (407) 246-2842 32801-3302 Dear Friend of the Homeless : The Coalition for the Homeless is the greatest success story of our Central Florida community. I think back years ago to the few people who took care of the homeless and were trying to address the needs of the homeless in our area . That effort quickly spread to the religious community, businesses and others who said we share this responsibility and we need to make a difference . People can be empowered to make a difference, to come together and unite in solving community problems , whether it is the homeless problem, economic development, housing needs , or crime prevention . Not only has the community come together to solve the problem of homelessness , but we are dispelling the myth that the homeless population is looking for a hand out . Quite the contrary . The homeless population is seeking dignity. The Coalition for the Homeless gives people dignity by providing a path to self sufficiency. The Coalition provides a safety net, but more than that , the safety net is being turned into a ladder of opportunity for people . This is very important as we look to the needs of the 90 ' s. The success of the Coalition ' s model is a source of pride for the Central Florida area . It ' s a model we should use to solve all the other problems in our community . I congratulate the Coalition Board of Directors and all of the many people who helped achieve this success . Sincerely, O' Glenda E . Hood - Mayor Orange 3 �` Ount y Office of the Chairman _J 201 South Rosalind Avenue s f Reply To: Post Office Box 1393 Orlando, Florida 32802-1393 Telephone(407)836-7370 Dear Friend of the Homeless: Central Florida has always had people and organizations that create a climate enabling us to solve problems. The Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida is a wonderful example of people coming together to address the community' s problems . When I think of the coalition, I 'm always reminded of the people at the First United Methodist Church who said we need to live our Christian witness . They allowed the homeless to spend nights on their property and opened their Fellowship Hall to help feed them. They set a remarkable example for the rest of us to emulate. The Coalition operates like a business with a big heart . Many organizations, businesses , and individuals with a heart have assisted the Coalition' s efforts through funding, volunteer services , and supply drives . It' s a very productive partnership. The Coalition for the Homeless is a positive and proactive way to meet the needs of our community and the needs of the individuals who find themselves temporarily in need of a helping hand . I ' m reminded of a slogan that has been used by the Phillips Foundation . "There is no solution but Seek it lovingly . " The coalition and its supporters are seeking the solution lovingly . Sincerely , 1,inda t•] . Chapin Orange County Chairman oP ANoo • 90 FCS.01,1^4.4:,, (gag of (!rlantn POLICE 100 SOUTH HUGHEY AVENUE TELEPHONE (407)246-2470 DEPARTMENT • ORLANDO, FLORIDA FAX (407)246-2732 ]2801-091] Pear Friend: In the autumn of 1991 , Coalition officials met with the Orlando Police Department to discuss a common problem: what to do about the overflow of homeless people wno could not find shelter and instead slept in the downtown Orlando parking lots, church property and public parks. Out of tnese discussions came the idea for the Coalition's new Pavilion Shelter designed for up to S00 people. It is a unique shelter that is receiving national and statewide attention as a new approach to handling the growing number of homeless people. It also demonstrates another fact not typical in other cities - an alliance between police, city and homeless officials to find innovative solutions to homelessness. Out relationship with the Coalition has been mutually beneficial . Now that the Pavilion is open, instead of charging homeless people with vagrancy and taking them to jail - a very time consuming and expensive procedure - we can take them to the Pavilion. As a result, the number of homeless people loitering in downtown Orlando has dropped dramatically. Nuisance calls and misdemeanor crimes have decreased by 40% since the Pavilion opened. Police officers volunteered to clear land before the Pavilion' s foundation was poured and Pavilion employees were trained by the police prior to the _.helter' s May opening. The Coalition employs off-duty officers at night and the police regularly patrol the adjacent neighborhood. We work closely and stay in touch with the Coalition. Coalition officials consistently strive to be responsive to the needs of the community. We are pleased with the positive relationship that has developed and with the progress and programs of the Coalition for the Homeless. Sincerely, • Thomas D.

Florida 32802-3200 407/420-2701 June 25, 1993 Fax 407/236-5250 Dear Friends: Since returning to Orlando from Jacksonville, I have worked on a variety of community projects including various foundations and charitable endeavors. The Coalition for the Homeless is one cause that has impacted me more than others. Many downtown business people have mentioned to me how much improvement has occurred in the downtown business and tourist climate. Much of this improvement is attributable to the Coalition. In fact, the Orlando police reported a 41% reduction in downtown service calls after the pavilion shelter opened. The Coalition Campus provides the only shelter open 24 hours daily. The pavilion shelter on campus is the only one that accepts the disenfranchised homeless not able to qualify for other shelters. They were the homeless who were downtown panhandling, sleeping in downtown parks, parking lots, church courtyards, or business doorways. Now they are safe and receiving services at the Coalition Campus. The Coalition, led by Michael Poole, a former Barnett executive, is an effort in Central Florida to bring together public and private agencies to provide basic necessities such as housing, health care, education, meals, support services and case management. This is a comprehensive and integrated system focused on returning the homeless to self sufficiency. The city of Orlando and Orange County have provided substantial funding and support. Mayor Glenda Hood calls the Coalition "the greatest success story in Central Florida". The Coalition has impacted not only Central Florida, but the nation. Jacksonville and Miami/Dade County have adopted the Coalition's approach. Cities such as Dallas, Texas and Reno, Nevada are contacting the Coalition about establishing similar programs. Barnett committed $100,000 for the capital fund to build the Campus and $20,000 for operations over two years. I am asking your support to assist this most worthy cause. Sincerely, 0t) Thomas H.

Lakeshore Drive Ocoee, Florida, 34761 Dear Mrs. Gosnell: The Christian Service Center for Central Florida, Inc. respectfully requests $2,000. from the City of Ocoee to be shared equally by our two programs serving the residents of West Orange County: Ocoee Daily Bread and Winter Garden Family Emergency Services. Approximately 13,500 individuals and families received food so far this year at our Daily Bread site and 2,238 received assistance at Family Emergency Services. The numbers are impressive when justifying the need for these programs; however, the projects which have evolved are far more beneficial and lasting than the providing of food for a day. An outstanding example is the "Mothers Helping Mothers" initiated at the Ocoee program by a small group of volunteers from Holy Family Catholic Church. This project offers young mothers an opportunity to break their cycle of dependency and be self- sufficient. Both of our West Orange programs stress independence and self-help as criteria for any type of assistance. If clients are willing and able to help themselves, The Christian Service Center is dedicated to working with them. Sincerely, 4,2sexi The Rev'd.

The devotional was presented by Anne Walding. Minutes were read •and approved. Program coordinator, Anne Welding had a number of things to report. First, Human Service Council has currently placed three young people with WODB to serve their community time. Second, a few problems have arisen with some new young male clients. Mike Yoakum suggested confronting the young men before stopping them from receiving meals. Third, Thanksgiving options were discussed. Since food boxes are given and Ocoee serves a Thanksgiving meal, it was decided not to serve a meal on Thanksgiving Day. Another day that a meal will not be served is November 6, due to a church festival . Last, the Christmas party will be on December 18. During August 641 meals were served. Denise Hall presented a complete report on the Mothers Helping Mothers program including goals for short term and long term. Rhe also requested additional help from other churches to form a sheering committee to activate goals. There were no new developments reported from the committees. The Orlando sentinel asked for lists of needs from area organizations. Anne submitted a list totaling $7000. hat rt of new business, pine Wbeep esentedgtoted eachtvolunteer.`oThere recognition, Y are about 200 volunteers. The meeting was adjourned at 5:30.
