Friendship Center Executive Director Sissy Leggett says the grant highlights organizations making a difference in their communities around Illinois. She says State Representative Bill Mitchell nominated the Center for the grant.
 
 
The money will be earmarked to help continue several programs. The programs were not in jeopardy of going away but Leggett indicates it will go towards programs like the annual fan drive and their transportation budgets for their trips.
 
 
Leggett says grants like the AT&T grant and many others are very beneficial and allow the Friendship Center to be there for the County's senior citizens.
 
 
Leggett thanks Bill Mitchell for thinking of the Center for the grant. She calls him a great supporter of the many things they do.
 
She also thanks Chris Warwick with AT&T Illinois.
