Many of you may have already
heard about the United Way's upcoming move. The United Way has
rented office space from the Community Foundation for many years and
we've enjoyed getting to know them better, seeing all of their
successes, and calling them friends. But, as of February 1st,
the UW will be moving to 205 S. Washington Street in Marion to make
more room for both organizations.
As a way to make the burden
of moving a bit easier, the Foundation board did vote to provide a grant for the United Way's relocation expenses and, of
course, all expressed best wishes to them in the future.
No matter what their address, you can rest assured that the United
Way will be around to serve Grant County for many years to
come.
You can find them at:
United Way of Grant County,
Inc.
205 South Washington,
Street
P.O. Box 61
Marion, IN 46952

How to Choose
and Use a Cane
Dear Savvy
Living,
Is there anything to know when it comes to buying a cane? My dad has
arthritis in his knee and could use a little extra help getting
around. What can you tell me?

Debate Over
"Cadillac" Healthcare Tax
On Jan. 6, 2010, President Obama
met with two key Senators to discuss the proposed healthcare
legislation. He discussed the healthcare bill with Sen. Chris Dodd
(D-CT) and Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT). Sen. Dodd and Sen. Baucus have
been very involved in the development of the two major bills that
were combined into the Senate healthcare act.
