A total of nine scholarships have been approved so far but few checks have gone out.... PLEASE!! families, case managers or equine service providers: let us know as soon as services are scheduled to begin so payment or services are not delayed. Send info to Nancy 868-5324, 484 1231 or [email protected] I address the mail for the treasurer to send the checks.

The MT website has a page with the scholarship request form (even though the web manager is out on maternity leave) Please also include the name and contact of the case manager if there is one, and PLEASE contact your equine service provider to discuss availability and schedule before sending request. Requests can be sent to MT c/o Pam Scheppele, 27 Westwind dr. Caribou 04736, or to MT c/o Nancy Dumond Violette 489 main St., Van Buren 40785. Either way it goes to me (Nancy) who contacts the committee for vote through emails, which saves time. Once approved I will call the responsible party to let them know of the money available. Any questions about scholarships, available service providers : Nancy Dumond Violette 868 5324 [email protected] (yes we are still accepting bottles/cans)

News about CHANGES: Kindred Spirits, a very successful Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Mental Health Facility in Oakfield: As many of you know, Kindred Spirits lost a VERY SPECIAL Equine Assisted Psychotherapy practitioner, Patricia Kimball, in 2011. Jill Willet has been able to continue to offer services and has had to make some big changes; We wish her great success in the future, much love and prayers; her notes as follows (please take note and save this information):

May 31, 2012 Hello to all,

A number of changes at Kindred Spirits: Growth & Learning, LLC, will be occurring by the end of tomorrow, Friday, 6/1/12. Due to trade mark issues, I have been required to change the name of the agency, so I am excited to share the business name will be Making Strides and the new location is just a short distance from its current location:

Making Strides 408 Pond Rd. Dyer Brook, ME 04747

207-463-2345 will be the new phone number

new email: [email protected]

For approximately 1-2 months, calls coming into 757-7017 will be transferred to the new phone number. The new phones will be installed and up and running on June 8th.

I am very excited to share that Julie Racine, PMHNP, will be moving her office to this new site, whereby we will be able to provide more wrap around psychiatric and mental health services. Julie will be moving her office in approximately one month.

I apologize for any inconvenience these changes may cause you. However, I hope you embrace these changes as we move onto new adventures and I hope to be hearing from you in the near future.

Thank you, Jill Willett-Sewall, LCPC
