ADVOCACY WORKS! ADVOCACY WORKS!
NO CUT TO TITLE XX FUNDING IN GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO'S
FY2012-13 BUDGET!
16,642 LETTERS - REMEMBER THAT NUMBER - YOU DID IT!

GOOD NEWS! Governor Cuomo released his FY2012-13 budget at 2:00 PM today. CSCS was thrilled to learn that the Governor did NOT cut Title XX funding to senior centers. This marks the first time in three years that this cut isn't being proposed and the funding is preserved. Your letters and support from state and city elected officials made the difference. Thank you!

THANK GOVERNOR CUOMO! CSCS recommends your agency send Governor Cuomo a letter thanking him for not cutting Title XX. See suggested model letter on the next page. Feel free to write it in your own words.

For further information, please contact Bobbie Sackman, (212) 398-6565, x226 or bsackman@cscs-ny.org
