Max Day?<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">It’s
a chance for non-profit organizations to bring updated
information to the public about all of the great work they
do throughout the year. Sometimes their work goes
unrecognized and many times it’s unrewarded. Of course,
these non-profit organizations are not in it for the money
--- they are in it for the people they serve. It’s quite
gratifying just to know you’ve been able to help someone,
whether by helping them with a small issue, or over one of
life’s major hurdles. Personal satisfaction is at the core
of the work done by non-profits and the people they serve -
knowing that you were there when someone needed you and that
you were able to help is the mission for most all
non-profits.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">The Seven County Senior
Federation is one of those organizations. We’ve been in
operation for over 40 years in east-central Minnesota
serving senior citizens of the region. It may have been
through free income tax preparation, or Senior Defensive
Driving classes, or free Medicare/Social Security
counseling, or with fuel assistance, or free household goods
for families in crisis, or any of a dozen other services
provided over the years. In addition we are a strong voice
for senior citizens both in St. Paul and in Washington DC on
issues of concern to them. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Yes, the point of this
note is to ask for your personal support of our services
that we currently provide to senior citizens… but there’s
more. Our goal is to add a few much needed, and frequently
requested, senior services within the next year: <u>in-home
chore services</u>, <u>grocery shopping</u>, and <u>companion
care</u>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">In order to get these
services off and running we really need public support, and
that’s where you come in. MAYBE, you’ve had a friend that
benefited from one of our free service offerings, or maybe
it’s you, or maybe it’s a parent, grandparent or great
grandparent that’s been on the receiving end of one of our
helpful services. If so, we’re asking for you to please
consider making a donation to our cause. This is the only
time of the year (one time!) that we ask for direct public
support. The rest of the year we do our own fundraising
through working at food stands, or silent auctions, or
raffles, as well as by offering yearly membership in the
Seven County Senior Federation ($15 per year for a single
membership).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
