Rockville, MD,
November 26, 2002 – The Treatment and Learning Centers, a non-profit organization
helping children and adults with a wide range of disabilities, today announced
that they have been awarded the Agnes C. Robinson grant. With this $13,000 grant, The Family Hearing
Center at TLC expects to be able to subsidize at least 13 hearing aid purchases
to low-income women. Each qualifying
woman would be eligible to receive a stipend of $1,000, depending on the
severity of need.
“The gift of hearing is invaluable, truly affecting a meaningful outcome on the lives of those we serve,” said Richard Pavlin, executive director of TLC. “With this generous gift from the Robinson Trust, we can improve the well being of these women with hearing loss, help enhance their quality of life, and strengthen their ability to communicate effectively with other.”
Since the early 1900s, The Agnes C. Robinson Trust
has been providing financial assistance to low-income women. With this final gift of $13,000 to TLC, the
Agnes C. Robinson Trust has been dissolved.
The Family Hearing Center, which provides audiological services to the
entire community, will be evaluating and fitting each qualified candidate for
their hearing aid. Subsidies will be
based on income eligibility.

Learning Centers, located in Rockville, Maryland, enables children and adults
