il -r1995 1b: 3 919-481-J324 <br /> t <br /> 3 <br /> 2 <br /> The Social Work Coordinator is assisted by members of an Advisory <br /> Council who help publicize the program, recruit volunteers and <br /> raise funds on the local level . Over-all direction and <br /> responsibility for VFC rests With a state-wide Board of <br /> Directors. This Board sets policy, plans for future growth and <br /> works with local Advisory Councils to ensure the consistency and <br /> quality of programs. Regular supervision, back-up coverage and <br /> financial reporting and accountability are provided on a pro-rata <br /> basis by two part-time VFC-NC staff as a part of each local <br /> program. <br /> To provide an experienced full-time Social Work Coordinator with <br /> related expenses and support services will cost $46,500 per year. <br /> Of this amount, $13,000 has been secured in grants; $10,000 is <br /> expected from contributions and other sources and $1,250 is <br /> estimated from local fund-raising. The remaining $22,250 was <br /> anticipated from Smart Start which solicited an application from <br /> VFC but did not secure the funding necessary to grant it. <br /> We are therefore asking the County Commissioners to authorize a <br /> grant of $15,000 for 1995-96 to cover most of the remaining <br /> costs. This would ensure a 314 time position. If additional <br /> funding can be located, the position could remain full-time. <br /> During the next eight months, VFC will continue to work <br /> diligently to develop additional sources of revenue to ensure <br /> this critical service remains available to Orange County's youth. <br /> I am attaching a few stories of children we have served recently <br /> to give you a flavor of what VFC can mean to children, families <br /> and the community. In addition, I have included some material <br /> about our organization and the current 1995-96 program budget. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to the <br /> possibility of meeting you soon. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> H.
