This November 4th, the
citizens of Morrow County will vote for the 0.8 mill, 5-year levy
for Whetstone MR/DD.
Continuous levy defeats and loss of state funds
has devastated our program and services. Without the support of the
good citizens of Morrow County, Whetstone MR/DD will not be able to
sustain, much less restore all the services that have been
eliminated and/or reduced over the past six years. I ask you to
examine the facts. If you do, you will see that what Whetstone
MR/DD is asking you to vote for will cost you very little and even
less if you are 65 or older and file for the Homestead exemption.
Whetstone MR/DD invites you to visit our
facilities on Bank Street (Whetstone River Family & Children’s
Center) and Douglas Street (Whetstone Industries). You are all
invited to the third annual “Two-Dime” dinner on Thursday, October
30, 2008, from 5:00 – 7:00 at Whetstone Industries.
Each day, the Individuals served by Whetstone
MR/DD face challenges that someone without a disability might find
insurmountable. Still, they do it with a smile and a positive
attitude. That inspires us.
The character of a community is best determined
by how people in need are treated. Please show you care enough and
please vote YES for MR/DD (Whetstone) on Tuesday, November 4, 2008.
Thank You!
Jerome C. Manuel
Superintendent
Morrow County Board of MR/DD
