Watch for more information and a detailed insert in the Siu- slaw News. This month’s featured agen- cy is Boys and Girls Club of Western Lane County’s Sum- mer Program. This program runs from June 18 to Aug. 16 and serves approximately 60 kindergarten to grade 12 stu- dents, providing them with su- pervised activities, meals and a healthy environment. The cost of the program is $900 for the entire summer, but many of the students receive scholar- ships and teens only pay $50 for the summer to encourage them to participate. Many of the students would be on their own without this important program. Attendees at the June FACC meeting are encouraged to do- nate art supplies (pens, pen- cils, crayons, markers, paints, etc.) or sports equipment (all kinds of balls, mitts, badmin- ton rackets and birds, etc.) or to donate cash, which can be applied to the scholarship fund. There will be no July FACC meeting, as the board will be holding its annual planning retreat. For more information about FACC, call 541-999-2927.
