Hello Agents,Attached is a copy of a news article that talks about mini-grants of $150 available for community service projects.  Any group who applied for a People Partner Grant would already have a plan, have information gathered and could easily apply for additional funds.  You may know of other groups that would be interested. Please share this information with groups in your county.  The applications are due April 2nd.I hope you are enjoying some signs of spring.  We have bluebirds, robins and sand hill cranes at home!Martha
