(She was scheduled earlier this=

nd
social workers to provide support systems for older and disabled resident=
s,

er a
Medical Reserve Corp for disaster situations, and the list goes on. Only 16% of their income is from
taxes. They are not in debt=
. All of the money raised from the=
ir
programs goes back into the funding of programs. Health really c= omes down to four basics: 1) gen= etics; 2) Exercise; 3) Attitude/Mental Health; and 4) Diet – moderation is= the key. The Speaker is Happy!
