Urgent message from Clearbrook President, Carl M. La Mell, Posted July 1, 2009

CLEARBROOK FORCED TO CLOSE DOOR ON 85 CLIENTS

The Doomsday budget became a reality at Clearbrook today. 85 adults with developmental disabilities went home and will not be returning to their employment programs as the grant funds for these programs have been eliminated. 25 staff also learned that today was their last day of employment - some of whom have been employed for over 25 years by Clearbrook.

I want you to personally let Governor Quinn know that there is a human cost to his vetoing the budget and that his actions are appalling.

In my 30 years working in developmental disabilities, this is the worst funding crisis I have ever seen. I want to thank you for your prior support and ask that you continue to make your voices heard.

What can you do?
•Email or call Governor Quinn
•Forward this on to friends and family (see below) to convey this message to Governor Quinn.

Deadline:
Voice your opinion immediately. Call or email Governor Quinn NOW!

Forward this to Family and Friends to Increase Our Influence:
After you have contacted your Governor Quinn, there is a “Tell-A-Friend” option. You will be prompted to enter your contacts’ email addresses and then customize a note asking for their support.

Regards,
Carl M. La Mell
President
