Showing true family values

On behalf of Bellevue Day Care Center, Inc., I want to thank DC 37 Executive Director Lillian Roberts, Local 1549 President Eddie Rodriguez, their Executive Boards, and Local 1549 2nd Vice President Ralph Palladino for their generous contributions to the on-site Bellevue-Educare Child Care Center at Bellevue Hospital Center, which opened in 2006. This would not have been possible without all of your support.

Thanks in part to your contributions this year, we are looking to expand our services for working families in need of child care. Cuts in child care must be fought at all levels of government. This year our honored guest Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney chose our event to announce new legislation she is sponsoring that if passed will help provide more families in need with child care. We are sure that, as with the fights against cuts, you will be supporting her efforts as well.

President, Board of Directors
Editor's note: This center cares for the children of many DC 37 families.
