FORT MYERS, Fla. (October 1, 2004) - Funds from the sale of the "Choose Life" license plates are available and the allocation to Lee County is not being as highly utilized as it could be.

Agencies in Lee County assisting pregnant women who are willing to make an adoption plan are encouraged to contact the lead agency to apply for assistance:
