52.0. "Daycare Now In GMA Discount Directory" by POWDML::SATOW () Wed Apr 22 1992 10:13

The attached is taken from LIVE WIRE, Greater Maynard Area (GMA) Edition.  
While this announcement only references the GMA Discount Directory, there is 
nothing in it to indicate that the listing of references is for GMA only.  I 
assume that Erica Fox is the contact. 

Hopefully, this means that Digital is being a bit more cooperative with Child 
Care providers who want to offer discounts to Digital employees.

          Discount Directory expands to include child care discounts 

  LIVE WIRE's Greater Maynard Area Discount Directory is expanding to include
  a list of child care providers offering discounts to Digital employees.  

  "The company realizes that many employees must struggle to pay for child 
  care" says Erica Fox, Digital's Child Care Program manager.  "Particularly
  hard hit are single parents, employees with infants, and employees with more
  than one child.

  "We hope to motivate additional providers to offer discounts by allowing 
  providers this access to the Discount Directory.  In addition, we want to 
  support employees by centralizing this important information in one 
  location."  

  To be listed, providers must follow an application process.  The Discount 
  Directory's "Application Process" option contains instructions on how to 
  submit provider information.  Providers must offer employees at least a 10% 
  reduction in tuition to be listed. 

  Employees should note that providers are included in the Discount Dicrectory 
  at their own request, and that Digital has not qualified the providers listed 
  in any way.  Digital advises employees to use care in selecting an 
  appropriate provider.  Employees who want assistance in selecting providers 
  or information about current provider vacancies in their communities may
  contact Digital's Child Care Resource and Referral Program at 800-635-0606. 

  Approved child care providers will be listed in the Discount Directory's 
  main menu in the "Child Care" option.  The directory is located in LIVE 
  WIRE's GMA Employee Activities menu.
