As part of that <br />program, starting the first part of 2000, we received a SCORE Gran. t <br />from Sherbume County to hire a three-quarter-time environment staff <br />member to teach recycling and environmental issues, i <br /> <br /> Over the course of 2000 we found this to be an innovative a ~d <br />inspiring program for the youth of this community. We are lucky to <br />have an excellent staff person by the name of Jaydee Jones filling <br />this position. She has created a multitude of programs here at the <br />Club and in the community, and has opened the eyes of many <br />children (and adults) as to the need and necessity of being <br />environmentally friendly. <br /> <br /> We would like very much to ensure this worthwhile program <br />continues, so we are asking that the City of Elk River assist us with <br />Landfill Abatement funds and sponsor half of our environment <br />program in the amount of $15,000.00. <br /> <br /> I have attached a copy of Jaydee's Resume so you can see; <br />the quality of this staff person and a copy of our 2000 budget for this <br />program. <br /> <br /> We wish, once again, to thank the City of Elk River for all of its <br />help in making this Boys & Gids Club a reality and hope that you w{ll <br />consider this present grant request. <br /> <br />BOYS ~k GII'4LS CLUB <br /> OF ELK RIVER <br /> <br />Boys & Girls Club <br />of Elk River <br />905 6th Street NW <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />Tel. 763-241-5000 <br />Fax 763-274-2197 <br /> <br />Executive Committee: <br />Daryl Thompson <br />President <br /> <br />Bruce Bremen <br />Treasurer <br /> <br />Pat Ebner <br /> <br />Donald Heinzman <br /> <br />Board of Directors: <br />Bruce Anderson <br />Charlie Blesner <br />James Barthel <br />Mary Duitsman <br />Harold Gramstad <br />John Houlton <br />Chuck Jensen <br />Todd Plaisted <br />James Simpson <br />Margaret Thibodeau <br />John Weicht <br />Tom Zerwas <br /> <br />Executive Director: <br />John D, Fitzgerald <br /> <br />Executive Director <br /> <br /> <br />
