RECREATION ACTIVITIES NEEDED
Small town life is great but it presents a dilemma if there aren’t enough things for children and teenagers to do. Parents have to drive anywhere from 10 to 50 miles to provide recreational activities for their children and gas budgets don’t usually stretch that far. Junctions For Opportunities would like to provide weekly activities for children during the summer and have outdoor sporting equipment like Frisbee golf available for older youth at our community park. To fund these projects JFO members wrote 2 Hamburger Helper grants. Although our projects were not accepted to be funded this time around, we will keep trying for a Hamburger Helper grant as well as any other opportunity. We have also discussed local fund raisers as well as finding local craftsmen to make the goal posts needed for Frisbee golf.
