Subject: MAFF Update - House Ways and Means Budget

Dear MAFF Board Members,

As you may know, the House Ways and Means committee released their recommendations for the state's fiscal year 2016 budget on April 15th. In their budget message, the House Ways and Means committee specifically indicates that they have included funding to support the recent increase in the daily rate of support for foster families and to provide child care for all DCF-involved kids. Additionally, the state college adopted and foster child tuition and fees waiver appears to be fully funded.

The House will debate their budget all of next week. After that, the Senate takes on the process, starting with the release of the Senate Ways and Means budget on May 13th. Please click here to contact your Senator<http://mspc.convio.net/site/Advocacy?pagename=homepage&id=137> to urge them to support full funding for these items.

If you have questions about the budget that require urgent attention, please contact Courtney Chelo at cchelo@mspcc.org<mailto:cchelo@mspcc.org> or 617-587-1513.

Best,
Nancy

a loss...

John Donovan, owner of the MAC and the guy behind the Helicopter Santa Party (along with his wife) has passed away.

IT’s a huge loss for the community.

As most of you are aware, the party needed to be cancelled the last two years because John was just too sick.  He fought hard and would get better but in the end, he couldn’t fight his cancer.

He and his wife Megan have given a great deal to our families through this party and in many other ways.
