To the Editor:

STEP, Inc. would like to publicly acknowledge the generosity of the Martin County Area Foundation.

The foundation awarded us a sizable grant that we will use to upgrade the computers used by our staff and clients. Many of our current machines are older than 5 years and are in need of being replaced by better equipment. The grant from the foundation will allow us to purchase new and better equipment that will benefit us greatly. We would have been able to purchase one or two machines without the grant, but with it most of the staff and clients who use computers will receive an upgraded computer.

We would like area residents to know of the good work the foundation is doing and to thank the Martin County Area Foundation for the assistance it has provided to us and to other groups in the area.
