We have a tremendous need grant, which has already started. It has taken the first year to implement a voucher system, coordinate the transportation, select the site, train the personnel and identify the specific transportation needs. The grant is specifically for people with disabilities who must meet state financial guidelines. Funding cannot go to a direct family member such as a spouse, child or parent and the mileage reimbursement is 34 and a half cents per mile. d In this program, travelers checques are available to people with disabilities that need transportation to school, training, employment, and other, community activities. Riders are responsible for deciding where they want to go and when, and for organizing and scheduling the rides they need.

One display also shows work out in the field where the artist uses sketches to draw or connect the bones that are found. These drawings become the map, which are made to scale, of the dinosaur.

Polster uses chalk, colored pencils and ink to create her work, which is often used to educate people about the discovery of dinosaur bones.
