As reported in The Herald Oct. 21, the Washington Elks Therapy Program for Children Inc. was in danger of losing its funding.
At the time, members said they would vote this month on keeping or dropping the program, which provides therapy to children who have developmental delays or physical disabilities.
The vote went in favor of the disabled.
Therapist Sarah Junkin-Clark, who works with families in Snohomish County, said the vote is in, and the Elks will continue the program.
