Subject: Contact Commissioner Mullgrave at DYCD

Hello Everyone,

 

I received an interesting call from one of the Deputy Commissioners at  DYCD.  She was responding to an email that I had sent to Commissioner Mullgrav about having our funding restored. I was told that she did not know if our funding will be resorted and that I will be contacted as soon as she gets an answer.

 

I would like our parents to email the Commissioner Jeanne B. Mullgrav to help convince her  to have Imani House Afterschool funding restored.  Please remember to put that (1) MS/PS 282 is a Titled One School   (2)  it is an unzoned school and (3) mention the area that you live, especially if you live outside of Park Slope.

 

Please contact your councilman and ask him/her to give the Commissioner a call on behalf of Imani House.

 

The website for the commissioner is www.nyc.gov ; scroll down and click on the link Contact DYCD.

 

I really believe we will get the funding back if we all unite and write and call.

 

A special thank you to the parents who have already written and called.  I am asking the parents in the program who have not yet called or written a letter to do so now.  The budget is now being reviewed by the city council members.  SO LETS ACT NOW!!!!!

 

Regards,

Sonia Bennett
