county programs and operations for the book's distribution, and revolving fund was
established for the future printing of the book, as appropriate.

In order to provide for further distribution of the book we are requesting
permission to seek a publisher for the commercial release of Raising Parents with
the proceeds to go to the Family Alliance of Contra Costa to facilitate needed
services to families in our County.
Pacific Bell has provided at no cost the facilities and services of its San Ramon
training development division to produce an audio tape of the book. Five hundred
copies of the audio tape cassettes are being ordered for distribution. This is an
important step in making the message of Raising Parents more readily available to
all families. We ask that the Board acknowledge the public service provided by
Pacific Bell.
