The funding from the <br /> Greater Triangle Communities Foundation has financed the operating costs <br /> of the program for the first year. The Pine Knolls Community Center has <br /> contributed the physical facility and the parents of students in the <br /> program have volunteered to clean the building in order for the program to <br /> operate. The YMCA and the Pine Knolls Community Center have decided to <br /> jointly provide funding, or seek grants, to continue the operation of the <br /> program during the summer and for the next school year beginning in 1994. <br /> The Pine Knolls Community Center Board of Directors has realized that the <br /> volunteer efforts of parents to maintain the building are insufficient for <br /> the continued operation of the program. Therefore, the Pine Knolls <br /> Community Center Board is requesting $5, 000 from the Orange County Board <br /> of Commissioners to fund the janitorial services to maintain the building <br /> over the next two years so that parents can address their attention to <br /> support the educational program for their children. The Chair of the Pine <br /> Knolls Community Center Dr. Ted Parrish, or his designee, will be <br /> available to answer questions about the after school program at the <br /> Community Center. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : As the Board Decides. <br />
