I've been writing on
my blog about the remarkable progress being made in bringing a much-needed
Veterans cemetery to the Monterey Peninsula.
It looks like all of the pieces are falling into place to raise the
needed funds by October 15 in order to make development of the old
Fort Ord site a reality. Yesterday, the
Monterey County Board of Supervisors approved putting up a 7.24 acre parcel for
collateral so that the David & Lucile Packard Foundation can issue a much
needed loan towards the Central Coast State Veteran's Cemetery. Ted Belestreri, CEO of Cannery Row Company is
also loaning $150,000 while the Packard Foundation will grant $100,000 outright
in addition to the loan. Thanks to these
generous folks for helping this great cause.
Please note that this blog reflects my
personal opinion and may or may not reflect the opinion of Hands to Help
Seniors and the individual members comprising the Board of Governors.
