charitable status has been forwarded and hopefully will be approved in the

Mr. Welsh indicated that the organization last year received a grant in the
amount of$2,500, however, this year an additional $2,500 is being
requested to cover operating costs associated with ensuring that people
know about the new facility and the programs being offered. He indicated

good start, he is confident that the facility will generate enough income to
run itself.
