Dear Mayor Allen:

We the residents of the Palmer House are very thankful and happy
to be living here. It seems to give everyone a feeling of independence
and freedom,

We find that the recreation which has been provided is educational,
good therapy, entertainment, fine Fellowship and a social life which
many would not find living among people outside.

In our crafts classes, not only have we made many interesting items
for ourselves and Christmas gifts, but we are making items to sell in
the Senior Citizens sift Shop. This has helped to increase the small
incomes which so many receive.

Now, we understand our classes will be discontinued because the
Economic Opportunity Atlanta through Senior Citizen Services of
Metropolitan Atlanta, Inc, lacks money to provide Finaneing experienced
instructors and material.

We see many sad Faces and hear disappointmnet expressed as we
realize what is about to happen. We need to find other sources of
funds. Therefore, we come to ygu for help in this matter. We feel
this to be so very important .to the lonely Senior Citizens who without
this guidance and instruction often remains alone in his or her room.

Is there anything you can do?

Respectfully,

Tee hoy Wo

(Mra.) Lester R. Hasty
President
Palmer House Center Council
