To replace out of date equipment and adding additional lifesaving equipment to our inventory.

The roof has been leaking for months now. The leak has caused major damage on the inside of the library.

As an organization dedicated to promoting our community, its businesses, and its residents, we have long been aware that many of our young people lack a true picture of the value of our communities, our county, and the businesses that serve them. We
put together this program out of a desire to give those students the opportunity to take part in projects that would further their knowledge of our community and businesses, and to give back to the hometown that has vested much time and effort to help them succeed.
The program brings in students from local schools to serve as ambassadors at chamber-sponsored events, to provide service opportunities, and to give students a greater appreciation for the community.
Students are selected based on established criteria to serve as ambassadors through the school year, and they are awarded scholarships using the grant funds during their graduation ceremonies.

The project funding provided our pre k program at Breakthrough Charter School to have a storage facility for the outdoor/indoor fine motor and gross motor play equipment.  Things such as life size exploration blocks, tricycles, little tikes cars, balls, ropes, and other misc items will be stored in this facility.

Without the storage facility, our play materials would be open to the variety of weather elements as well as the possibility of them not being secure from theft.  As the teacher of a pre k classroom, I can say that we are very grateful to have this storage facility and have it in close proximity of our playground.
