3 <br /> Besides providing for teens, the Youth Center will allow the YMCA to respond to the <br /> chronic child care shortage in Orange County by expanding our preschool and after school <br /> programs for children, now both overbooked with waiting lists. We have 50 children on <br /> the waiting list for our after school program and 40 on the waiting list for swim team. The <br /> YMCA's soccer and basketball league are closed out, with children on the waiting list. <br /> The new 5000 square foot youth center, and the new full size gym will help us shrink <br /> these waiting list. <br /> When the YMCA offers programs, the whole community benefits. The YMCA accepts <br /> anyone for its programs, regardless of their ability to pry. UsL ycw, we provided ettore <br /> than $70,000 in scholarships for memberships, camps and after school programs. More <br /> programs, and a bigger facility will allow us to serve more of the community. <br /> k The Orange County Commissioner can play a key role in helping the YMCA better serve <br /> Orange County. We respectfully request a $50,000 challenge grant from Orange County <br /> for the YMCA's Capital Campaign. We will use this challenge grant to encourage other <br /> donors,thcmby k-Awaging the Cwudy's gift. <br /> I have enclosed a copy of our campaign brochura fur yuw information.
