2011 Let's Play Grant Program Awards Six Local Clubs

WECRD’S LET’S PLAY  GRANTS AWARDED TO SIX YOUTH GROUPS FOR 2011


At their April 27th Regular Board Meeting, the Western Elmore County Recreation District  approved the recommendation of the Let’s Play Board  to grant funds to assist six non-profit, volunteer  organizations that provide sports programs for  700 local play_successyouth.  The organizations are:


Mountain Man Wrestling Club:  $1,400.
Elmore County Youth Baseball:  $5,200
Mtn Home Youth Soccer Association:  $1,400
Mtn Home Youth Sports:  $1,400
Elmore County  Girl’s Fastpitch:  $2,600
Elmore County Optimist:  $3,000


In its second year of funding, the Let’s Play Grant Program was created by the WECRD in 2010 as a way to assist local non-profit youth sports and recreation programs. The response has been super.

The WECRD thanks the Let's Play Board (Lynn Knudson, Doug Belt and Scott Sessions) and the committee members for volunteering their time to review the applications.  The Let's Play Committee for 2011 included David Freer, Ryan Miller, Dana Pomerantz, Dani Horvath, Aaron Wanzer, Gary Oyler, John Aguirre, Todd Floyd, Darin Sandberg, and Brion Bethel.

WECRD AWARDS FUNDS FOR HIGH SCHOOL TRACK PROJECT

 

At the August Board Meeting, the Directors passed a motion to award the Mountain Home School District $7,000 towards  refurbishing and renovating the track at Tiger Field.

The Tiger Field Track Refurbishing project will include track conditioning and repair, additional turnstile and concrete, lighting, barricades and signage.

In a letter to School Superintendent Tim McMurtrey, President Marsha Sellers stated, "The WECRD feels that this track project is vital for our community.  With your pledge to keep the track open for public use, this project falls into the realm of the Recreation District's mission to provide recreation opportunities to the community."
