776.0. "A Special Mother's Day Gift" by MLTVAX::DUNNE () Fri Apr 19 1991 12:44

    Harbor Me is a multicultural group that provides support for abused 
    women and children in Chelsea, East Boston, Winthrop, Revere, 
    and adjoining communities. They do good work; the end of this note 
    details the services they offer.

    Like all such groups, they are suffering from budget cuts.  To remedy 
    this in a "private sector" manner, they have come up with what I think 
    is a great idea.  If you send them a donation, they will send a 
    Mother's Day card to the mother of your choice indicating that you 
    have made a donation in her name.  

    If you would like to participate, just extract the form below 
    and send it in to Harbor Me.  (They must receive the form by
    May 1 in order to get the cards out by Mother's Day.)  This is a
    tax-deductible donation and Harbor Me is eligible for Corporate
    Matching grants if you send in Digital's form.
