             its appeal that included a third letter from Keswick dated               
             June 28, 2000.  This letter provides the following "current              
             financial information" that is labeled "FY 2000 Budget"                  
             and "FY 2000 Actual (Projected)":

                                            budget   actual (projected)               
             Gross revenue                 $841,517  $640,775                         
             Direct program costs          865,682        763,544                     
             Indirect costs                525,693        377,024                     
             Excess of cost over revenue   (549,858) (499,793)                        
             Less: charity care            (179,478)     (54,347)                     
             Net loss                      (729,336) (554,140)                        

             The letter does not explain the above financial information              
             except that it notes that "the Charity Care includes the                 
             funding received from the Cuddeback trust."  The letter                  
             also states that                                                         

                  Without the Cuddeback Trust fund, many of these                     
                  seniors would be placed in a nursing home                           
                  prematurely or left at home alone during the day                    
                  where they could be at risk of injury, missing                      
                  meals and/or medications, and generally feeling                     
                  confused and lost.  In addition, Cuddeback funds                    
                  have been used to assist veterans whose benefits                    
                  for medical day care have been exhausted; they                      
                  have assisted families in obtaining services                        
                  quickly until other funding sources could be                        
                  obtained; and the funds have been used as a                         
                  supplement to other funding sources when those                      
                  funds were not adequate.  * * *                                     
                       In conclusion, without these funds, there                      
                  would be a significant reduction in the number of                   
                  seniors served at Keswick Adult Day, and this                       
                  reduction would affect the overall quality of                       
                  services that are currently being provided.
