Our Senior Peer Counseling Program is facing an 80% reduction in revenue.  This is the result of recommended elimination of Mental Health Services Act funding in 2011-2012.  This vital program serves over 200 seniors throughout your community!  The Monterey County Board of Supervisors will meet to review the county budget recommendation on June 6, 7 and 8.  Below is a link to a form letter that you can add your signature to and use to show your support.  Please download and email to Jane Parker.
