The following letter was sent to Marilyn Chase, Assistant Secretary for Children, Youth and Families and Julia Kehoe, Commissioner Department of Transitional Assistance in August to request a new line item for homelessness prevention.

Dear Assistant Secretary Chase and Commissioner Kehoe,

Rev. Judy Deutsch, member of the Faith in Action Committee at the Sudbury Church sends us this update of MASSACHUSETTS HEALTH CARE BILLS FILED IN JANUARY 2007 THAT THE MALWV HAS VOTED TO SUPPORT.

"An Act to Establish the Health Care Trust," S. 703

We arrived in Northampton at 10 to a cloudy but snow free sky. Will it really snow?

The morning began with all the adrenalin, chaos and excitement of an event that has been in planning for over 6 months. We fretted over last minute details. Should the registration desk be on the right or left? Will we remember to have the walkers to sign both sides of the green sheets? Questions. Solutions. Better solutions. More solutions - maybe not better. Finally no time for more solutions.
