My dear friend: .�.R,�
M�
I ever remember you gratefully; because you were the
only person that gave me your sincere help me and
our Association for the Useful Aged in order to get
funds for us. I'll not forget that day...
That is the reason because I am writing you this
letter. 1 want you to know that mi Work Contract with
the City of Miami (Community Development) is ending
the next June 30, 1980. If that Contract is not
renewed before the date of termination.4I'll be out.
Honestly, Mr. Plummer, I think I dont deserve that
treat; and by this reason I am asking you your
valuable help as a Commisioner of the City in order %ct
our dear Association can not only subsist,but to be
self-sufficient. Our recent activities, founding a
Consumer Cooperative, bringing a Federal Credit Union,
and opening a Postal Contract Office in the Little
Havana area are good proofs of our deed�s.�
I hope we can count with you. You � et`" our "true frd.

P June 26 City Commission Agenda
Dena S
Director
Community Development Department
It is my understanding that Mr. Justo G. Regalado, Executive Director of Los Viejos,
will be making a personal appearance at the June 26th Commission Meeting to request
an increased allocation of 6th Year Community Development funds.
The Agency has not requested additional funds from this Department, and we are not
aware of the substance or justification for this expected request. As such, we
are unable to make any comments at this time.
Los Viejos, an elderly information and social service program in the Little Havana
community, is presently contracted to provide service to 250 elderly persons. The
Agency was awarded $23,000 for this purpose from 5th Year Community Development
funds and approximately $80,644 from other City sources ($5,000 Federal Revenue
Sharing; $75,644 CETA).
Community Development funds have been used by the Agency to cover the full range
of program expenditures, including staff salaries, fringe benefits, program equip-
ment, supplies, utilities, rent, vehicle insurance and gasoline..
Los Viejos is being recommended for funding at $23,000 and is an agenda item in the
group of social service agencies to be funded in the Sixth Year of Community De-
velopment.
