Lets Play a Huge Success

WECRD’s “Let’s Play Grant Program Awards Funds to seven Mtn. Home Sports Organizations

At the June 23rd Regular Board Meeting, the Western Elmore County Recreation District moved to award $12,000 to seven Mountain Home Sports organizations.

The Let’s Play grant program was formed by the WECRD in the spring as a way to help deserving sports programs for youth in the greater Mountain Home area.  At a special meeting on April 8th, the WECRD Board approved allocating $12,000 to fund the program for 2010.  A committee of local residents was then formed to oversee the selection process for awarding grant applicants.  The committee consisted of John Cristobal, Scott Mederios, David Freer, Brion Bethel and Lynn Knudson.  

Seven youth sports organizations applied for the grant.  After review of the applicants, the grant committee determined that all seven organizations fulfilled the criteria set forth in the application process. These organizations,  with their combined efforts,  have reached approximately 670 kids in the last year.  The committee felt that all of the organizations that applied for the grant were in need of and deserving of  financial assistance.   The committee recommended that the WECRD distribute the funds evenly to each organization.

  3. Mtn. Home Youth Soccer Association
  4. Mtn. Home Youth Sports
  5. Mtn. Home Sting ASA
  6. Elmore County Girls Fastpitch
  7. Elmore County Optimist

These organizations, upon receipt of funds, will be required to prepare a final report to the WECRD on how the funds were used.
