1. INC Dollar Dictionary Drive needs your help
**************************

INC (Inter Neighborhood Cooperation) funds a drive every year in order to provide a dictionary and a thesaurus to every third grader in DPS. Many times, these are the only books that some students can truly call their own. WWPNA has made a donation every year for the past 8 years.

The following plea is from the INC drive to raise the funds for these books:

We are still faced with a major shortfall in funding this year’s project. We need the help of all who can give to help make up that shortfall. Please consider us if you have not all ready done so.
Our grateful appreciation is extended to all who have helped so far. INC is a 501(c) (3) non-profit and therefore all donations are fully tax deductible.

Donations can be sent to Dollar Dictionary Drive, P.O. Box 18347, Denver, CO 80218 or can be made on our secure website atwww.neighborhoodlink.com/denver/inc (click on ‘Dollar Dictionary Drive’).
