Mrs. L'Allier <br />said that MrMOT awarded Sojourner a grant for a vehicle which is wheel -chair <br />accessorized. The grant will pay for 80% of the vehicle. The other 20% of the cost, <br />which is about $8,000, is to come from the community. Sojourner, located in Spring <br />Park, is asking for a contribution from the City of Orono through this CDBG program. <br />L'Allier said this program allows adults, who would otherwise be institutionalized, remain <br />in their community by relieving the caregivers by providing an adult day program. Mr. <br />L'Al ier is a participant in the program. The participants are brought to the program by <br />other means, but the vehicle in question is used for field trips. Sojourner serves the <br />communities of Orono, Spring Park, Excelsior, Wayzata, and Mound, who will also be <br />asked for donations to help pay for the vehicle. <br />1 <br />
