Title
Consider accepting a $1,000 donation from the Farmers Branch Rotary Club for the City's Youth Scholarship Program and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
Since 1992, the Youth Scholarship Program has allowed children to participate in various leisure activities they otherwise might not be able to access. Youth Scholarship funding is generated from civic organizations such as the Rotary Club and from businesses and individual donors. The Program works in coordination with local youth organizations to secure needed supplies, equipment, and registration funding support for activities such as baseball, football, soccer, cheerleading, band, and Scouting.
DISCUSSION:
The Farmers Branch Rotary Club would like to donate $1,000 to the City of Farmers Branch to be used for the Youth Scholarship Program. The Club has been a very generous donor to the Program and, over the years, has provided over $16,500 to assist local youths.
Rotary Club President, Mitzi Davis, is here tonight to represent the Farmers Branch Rotary Club.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended motion by City Administration to accept the donation of $1,000 from the Farmers Branch Rotary Club for the City's Youth Scholarship Program.
