Council approves deal with CID

The City Council on Monday approved a deal with the Center for Individual Development that calls for the center's foundation to pay nearly $152,000 to keep the Center open through June 2010.

The Center, which provides recreational opportunities for disabled children and adults, faced elimination during the city's recent round of budget cuts. Calling upon the Friends of the CID to provide funding means the Friends of the CID need money.

To that end, the Friends of the CID is holding a fundraiser Friday, Saturday and Sunday at T.G.I. Fridays restaurant at 390 East Hospitality Lane. Diners who bring The Friends' flier to the restaurant can have a percentage of their bill donated.

The flier is a necessity. The CID can be contacted by calling (909) 384-5427.
