v <br /> 2 <br /> CHAPEL HILL SERVICE LEAGUE <br /> GRANT APPLICATION <br /> Year: 1993-94 <br /> Agency submitting grant: Orange County Senior Games <br /> Contact Person: Wilma K. Tinney (Orange County Recreation and Parks) <br /> Address: P.O. Box 8181 Hillsborough NC 27278 <br /> Phone #: 919-967-9251 Extension 2669 <br /> Amount Requested: $ 500.00 Annual Budget:$ 5160.00 <br /> Primary Sources of Funding: Each of the four coordinating agencies (see Attachment 1) <br /> contributes $400.00, for a total of $1600.00. Entry fees from the participants <br /> ($6.00) should bring in $900.00. The remainder is sought from community businesses, <br /> organizations, and individuals. <br /> Purpose for which monies will be used: <br /> The money will be used for: (1) Sports equipment-tape measures, stop watches, easels, <br /> lumber, discus, shot-put, balls, and other items which have to be replaced or updated <br /> periodically, and (2) Printing -entry forms, posters, programs. <br /> Relevance of this requcst to your organization's overall goals: <br /> Senior Games is a year-round wellness program for adults 55 years of age and older, with <br /> various programs, clinics, and events held throughout the year, a week of local competition <br /> in April, North Carolina State Senior Games in September, and a national event held every <br /> other year. Many kinds of equipment and supplies are needed to run 15 different <br /> competitions each year, although some, such as bowlers, rent their equipment, and others, <br /> such as cyclists, own their bikes, most depend upon Senior Games to furnish these things. <br /> Multiple entry forms are essential for a smooth-running sports program, also posters for <br /> announcements and publicity, as well as programs for the opening ceremony. <br /> How does this request relate to the Service League's purpose: <br /> This program speaks to two of The Chapel Hill Service League's purposes: health and <br /> recreation. The consistent year-round exercise programs and the healthy athletic <br /> competition, geared to the needs of older citizens, ideally fulfills both of these objectives. <br /> Active, physically and mentally fit, older adults are a definite asset to the community. <br /> Please attach other supporting information you think may be helpful to the committee. <br /> APPLICATION DUE JANUARY 7,1994 <br />
