awards CO-OP Center a $2,000
Matching Grant.

center needs to attract
donors who have not contributed to CO-OP Center directly within in the past
three years. The deadline to raise these funds is
November 1, 2010.
Contributions of $500, $50, or
$5 will help move the thermometer closer to the goal of $2,000.00.
