Dear Honorable Sir ::

We, of the Coquitlam Share Society are in the midst of
applying for a grant from the Provincial Drug,Alcohol,

and Cigarette Sducation,Prevention and Rehabilitation

Fund for monies to continue running the Life-Line Crisis
and information & Counselling Centre and the S.H.A.R.E.
Free 2xehanze and Renabilitation Centre beyond the end of
Sept. of this year - when rs you know the extension of our
federal L.I.P. grant will be running out.

I am putting in writing what I conveyed to you on the
Phone this afternoon, namely, I am asking that you lend

your written support of our request for monies from thig
und.

It would be helpful if you would express awareness and
support of what we are doing in both of these above mentioned

departments of the operations of the Coquitlam Share Society.

You may want to refer to some of the statistics to refresh
your memory in the first annual report that I left for you

some weeks aco. Currently, there are so:e 35 persons from the
Opportunities Program from the iJelfare Depts. g involved at

the S.H.A.R.E. Free Exchange Depot and Rehab. Centre. We

expect that by this fall there will be over 80 on this

program - as you know the plan is that these people so involved

are to be guided off welfare,

Z would be very appreciative if you would make three copies
and leave them with the receptionast at the City Hall. I
will personally pick up the letters you leave with her. You
may address the letters to the above mentioned Fund.

Grateful ee? Za
