Opportunity to Give Pioneer Clients a voice against the Doomsdays Budget

Re: Opportunity to Give Pioneer Clients a voice against the Doomsdays Budget

Dear Friends, Families and Significant others:

The reality of the "Doomsday Budget" is that on July 1st, Pioneer Center for Human Services may no longer be able to serve approximately 300 clients. Supporters of Pioneer have been asking, “What can I do about it?” First of all keep writing! Continue to write your personal letters to Governor Quinn, Speaker Madigan, Minority Leader Tom Cross and your legislators and tell them how you and your family will be affected.

Secondly, there is an opportunity for you, in person, to give a voice for the clients at Pioneer on Thursday June 18th. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) of McHenry County is holding a forum at the Mental Health Board Building at 7:00 PM at 620 Dakota Street in Crystal Lake. It is our goal to fill the room with clients, families and supporters who will give voice to those impacted by the Doomsday Budget. As always, thank you for your support.

June 18th @ 7:00 PM
