Dear, Mayor 'Happy
On behalf of the Board of Directors and clients at Flathead
Industries, i would like to express our sincere gratitude for
the financial and technical assistance recently provided for
the remodeling of our new adult group home.
would like the Council members to know that we have nothing
but high praise for the efforts of Ed Gallagher and the Com-
munity Development Department staff. They were extremely help-
ful to us in our efforts to obtain low -interest funding for the
remodeling work on the new home.
Flathead Industries prides itself in knowing that the handicap-
ped in our community are not forgotten. However, it is a plain
and simple fact that without the continued dedication and sup-
port of individuals like Ed and Susan, programs like ours would
not be successful. The City of Kalispell is to be complimented
for the excellent quality and demeanor of its Community Develop-
ment staff. Speaking for our corporation, we appreciate your
efforts immensely!
Sincerely,
Bill Crivello
Executive Director
