Day Ravenscroft with her beloved ScholarshipsAZ students. The first ever PCIC Champion of Justice Award will be presented this Saturday to the daughter of two of PCIC’s founders: Day and Jack Ravenscroft. Jack, from St. Francis, was key in starting the organization and Day, from St. Odilia, helped to sustain and build it for many years. Their daughter, Virginia, is holding a tribute session for Day tomorrow, Saturday, at 1:00 pm at St. Francis in the Foothills. PCIC will be presenting the award to honor Day and Jack Ravenscroft around 2:30 after the lunch and music. Hope you can join us.

PCIC leaders will return to Phoenix again on Tuesday to push for Medicaid expansion and increased funding for education. The team has met with all the Tucson area legislators and some neighboring legislators as well.
On the local front, leaders are meeting with all the city council members, mayor and city manager concerning proposed cuts to JobPath, increased fees for Kidco and increased bus fares. The budget will be introduced on April 16th, with a hearing on April 23rd, and a final vote on May 21st. Although the economy is improving, the City Budget is still said to be 15 million in the red.
