Louisville, KY -- The McConnell Technology & Training Center (MTTC) has been able to provide five remaining members of the JCC Single Parent Support Group with fully equipped home computers thanks to a generous gift from an anonymous donor to the Community Foundation of Louisville.

In December of 2002, MTTC was able to provide eleven computers to the 16-member JCC Single Parent Support Group thanks to support from the Community Foundation of Louisville. The computers were distributed by a random drawing on December 6 to the first group of members.

Just before the end of the year, MTTC and the Community Foundation of Louisville were able to deliver the computers to the five remaining students of the group. All sixteen members of the group sent thank-you letters to MTTC and the Community Foundation of Louisville.

Some exerpts from the thank you notes:
