and services to individuals over the age of 55 so they may live independently for as long as they <br />choose. The Blockworker Program is a prime example of a program in place which provides that <br />important link to accessing services. However, as with many organizations, we are faced with <br />increased demand for programs and services while at the same time dealing with reduced funding to <br />meet the needs. <br />Therefore, we are submitting the following proposal to the Little Canada City Council: <br />The North Suburban Senior Council anticipates our funding needs to be $16,000, which <br />represents approximately 9% of the total operating budget of NSSC. The NSSC is requesting these <br />funds to support the Blockworker Outreach Program. Each of the communities we serve, within <br />the perimeter of District 623, is being asked to fund a percentage of this dollar amount based on the <br />number of persons over the age of 60 in each city. According to the 1990 census there are 1,244 <br />individuals over age 60 in Little Canada, which is 12% of the total number of persons, 10,000, <br />over 60 in our service area. Therefore, Little Canada's share of the $16,000 would be about <br />$1,920 (16,000 x .12 - 1,920). <br />Thank you for your serious consideration of our proposal. Should you have any further questions <br />please feel free to call me at 633 -3997. <br />Sincerely, ) <br />Lynnae LeBarron <br />Executive Director <br />North Suburban Senior Council, Inc. <br />Page 27 <br />
