Hello,

I was wondering if you had heard anything from any of your colleagues to see if there were any similar programs here in Springfield.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,

Marcia

Hello,

I work for a non-profit program helping people to improves their lives through providing GED prep courses, ESL classes, Citizenship classes, and through helping clients find meaningful employment.

We are working on a summer grant position and one population we serve are clients currently receiving housing aid (that will soon be pulled) and the cliens are attending our summer classes to find better employment and perhaps even schooling.

I have one client, a single mom, who was looking for a bike and would really benefit from any cheap inexpensive bike programs here in Western Massachusetts. I thought there was a free or cheap bike program but out here in Springfield I can't seem to find any information on this.........is there such a program, and if so, can you forward this information on to me so I can share it with her?

I work in Chicopee MA but live and Holyoke MA and know there is a program in Holyoke somewhere but my client lives in Springfield.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks,
Marcia
