Hi Carla,
I think I may have sent this to you before, but just wanted to get the word out there that Family Support EI PAC is having a HUGE sale this Sunday!
I just came from sorting donations, and it is unbelievable the amount of baby/toddler/kid stuff we have collected. Lots of very nice clothing and baby equipment, toys, etc. in great condition.
They are pricing everything SUPER CHEAP! (most clothing is fill a bag for $1, etc.)
If there's any way to get the word out to your foster parents, or to DCF workers, please pass this on.
If you need any more info, please contact me.

Greetings,
Do you know a deserving young lady who would love to attend her junior or senior prom but cannot afford to buy her dream dress and other prom accessories? We invite you to sign up as a 2012 Belle of the Ball Referral Partner and nominate qualified high school girls to attend an exclusive dress boutique where they will get to shop for the perfect dress and prom accessories– free of charge.
Since 2005, Belle of the Ball has collected, cleaned and distributed prom gowns at a boutique day held each year in mid-April. Our goal is to provide underprivileged high school girls with the opportunity to shop for a free gown at the boutique, as well as to provide raffle prizes throughout the day for hair, nail, and prom accessories, to eliminate additional prom expenses.
Last year, over 400 girls walked away from the event with a prom dress and accessories; which they otherwise would not be able to afford. While we have dedicated our resources to making sure these girls can experience their dream prom, we acknowledge that our efforts depend on the support of referral partners, like you, who take the time to reach out to these deserving young ladies.
If you are interested in referring a girl or several girls to the 2012 Belle of the Ball, please visit our referral page for details and to sign up. Referral partners must sign up by Friday, March 31st, 2012. We will then send you event flyers to help promote this great cause in your community. We will also send personal invitations with event details to each qualified girl who will be attending the 2012 Belle of the Ball.
The 2012 event will be held Saturday, April 14th at Simmons College from 10am to 4pm. We encourage you to join your referral girl(s) at the event as well!
Please contact me at 617-776-5800 or by email with any questions about the program. We hope that you will join us in making this year a special event for these deserving young ladies.
Sincerely,
Cailey Kneis

Just thought I would pass this on.
We have collected a HUGE quantity of gently used items. It is a great opportunity to pick up baby stuff super cheap for a very good cause...FSEI!
If you know anyone with little ones in the area, please pass this along, or feel free to print and hang up where it will be seen.

Dear Colleagues,
Later this month, the Department will be sending a letter to foster and adopting parents announcing a rate increase for both daily care and for quarterly clothing. This change will allow us to reimburse our foster care and adopting parents a new daily rate as of March 1, 2012. And it will change the quarterly clothing grant with the May payment. This increase is consistent with the language in the Act to Protect Children in the Care of the Commonwealth, passed by the Legislature in July 2008, and it is supported by Governor Patrick's Fiscal Year 2013 budget released in January 2012.
The new rates will be added to FamilyNet today so that Departmental foster care placements/service referrals that are effective March 1st or later can refer to the new rates. In addition, these rates should be referenced for any new adoption/guardianshp subsidies for chldren whose adoptions and guardianships are allowed in court after March 1, 2012.
New rates effective March 1, 2012 are:
Ages 0-5 $20.79/day
Ages 6-12 $23.40/day
Ages 13+ $24.79/day
Quarterly clothing effective May are:
Ages 0-5 $185.00/quarter
Ages 6-12 $188.75/quarter
Ages 13+ $282.00/quarter (no change)
This is great news for our foster/adopting parents, made possible with the support of the Governor and the Legislature.
Take care,
Angelo
