VII. CORRESPONDENCE
The ILSNC support letters to Senators Boxer and Feinstein, for increased ILC funding in the proposed “Stimulus Bill”.

VIII. EXECUTIVE REPORT
Evan reported that a settlement of the state budget had been reached, but two more factors could still impact it: 1.) $10 billion in federal stimulus funds coming into California; 2.) Several bailout initiatives passing in the upcoming, May 2009, special election. If these two events take place, most disability programs, (including ILSNC) will avoid major cuts. Federal stimulus funds are possible in the state of California, but will likely reach us in the form of mini grants, $5,000 maximum.

FRIENDS of ILSNC are close to finalizing a new loan for the 1161 East Avenue building.

IX. FINANCIAL REPORT
Jay Harris reported that our financial position remains strong, despite the fact that the state of California has severely slowed reimbursements. ILSNC’s cash reserves remain strong.
