All Funding for Rockland County Non-Profits In Danger! Meeting Tonight!

Dear Friend of RoCA & All Non-Profit Supporters:

PLEASE HELP! We need your presence at a meeting of the County Legislature’s Budget Review Committee to advocate restoring funding. This critical meeting will be held this Thursday, Oct. 30 at 7:00 pm in the Legislative Chambers, 11 New Hempstead Road in New City.

The County of Rockland provides funding to local non-profit organizations in order to provide programs and services that would not otherwise be offered to Rockland residents by County government. Due to the County’s financial situation, the County Executive has proposed a 100% cut in funding to those organizations for 2015. These cuts will affect all Rockland residents, hurt our economy and diminish the quality of life in Rockland as programs and services disappear.

The Legislature is asking only one representative of the non-profits to speak on our behalf. So, at that time Paul Trader, Chairman of the Institute for Non-profits, will present a unified message advocating for restoration of funding. This funding is vital to our organization and many other non-profit services.

Please come and show support for our message; we hope to fill the room with supporters.

Thank you!

Julianne Ramos
