Re: California Endowment announces farm worker program grants

[Guest guest]

Dear Don and others: I took a look at this web site and it is really

something to special. Other states could benefit from an endowment like

this. Do you think a session at the West Coast Forum would be benefical

next year? Maybe something to encourage other health centers in California

to apply? Joni Berardino
