Letters to the editor
support for
B&G Club
50-50 raffle
By Yvonne Iverson
Last Saturday the Warm
Springs Boys & Girls Club
held their annual fundraiser
and cleared over $15,000 to
help keep the Club open.
Festivities kicked off with
an
18-hole
G o 1 f z
Spilyay
Scram ble at
Speaks
the Kah-Nee-
Ta
G o lf K.............."
Course. Team
O r eg on
Embroidery took first place,
followed by Team Kah-Nee-
Ta and Team Platt.
Events continued into the
evening with a buffet dinner
and auction at the Lodge, with
kids from the Club providing
entertainment.
This event is important in
keeping Club doors open to
provide^ a safe place for kids
to go after school, on no
school days and during the
summer.
Nearly 60 kids depend on
the Club every day and with
the new CPS Center being
built the future of the Club
is unknown.
T he Club currently
receives 25 percent o f its.,
funding to operate from the
Tribal general fund. The
other 75 percent comes from
grants, mem berships, and
fundraising.
The 2014 tribal budget
shows funding for the Club
has been reduced to zero. At
a parent m eeting held in
February options were
discussed.
Fundraising will need to
increase and expenses will
need to be decreased to
continue operating the Club
at its current capacity.
The Vern Jackson Home
where the Club is currendy
located has infrastructure
issues similar to those of CPS,
and new location plans have
been discussed.
This fundraising event will
help o ffset the cost o f
operations, but a separate
fundraising campaign would
need to be done to provide a
location for the Boys and
Girls Club.
After school programs like
the Club and the Center have
been proven to decrease
crime and increase education
success.
According to the Office of
Juvenile
Justice
and
D elinquency P revention,
“Violent crimes by juveniles
peak in the afternoo n
between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.,
the hour at the end of the
school day.” It is important
for our kids to have a safe
place to go after school.
Support our Local Team
Pordand to Coast with the 50-
50 Raffle - $2 fundraising,
drawing to be held on Mon
day, May 20.

50-50
