As per our conversation, I have decided to donate my time to serve on the Board of Directors of the UKLL (Upper Keys Little League) as their Community Liaison and Sponsorship & Fundraising. Like you I'm sure, being on another board wasn't something I was looking to serve on, but after Hurricane Irma and what I call "Our New Normal" i felt that I needed to get involved to help our Kids get back to some normalcy. The age group that we have playing are 4 to 13 years old with an enrollment close to 300 Children. This 1ragtiL has been around for many years and has always been Financially stable and fiscally responsible. The sign up cost is S 100.00 for earl N Registration and "125.00 thereafter. Our real concern this year are all of the hardships these children's parents are facing, since many have either been laid off, or their business is slow due to loosing over 70% of our available Hotel Rooms. And since we are a Water Based Economy, it's going to take some time before these Hotels open back up due to the damage they sustained. So we feel that a certain percentage of these children will not be able to receive the enrollment money to be able to continue to play organized sports, as they have pre Irma. I understand that you may have some Grant money available for situations such as this, and we don't want to leave anyone behind. We will make sure that all that sign up will be on a roster, but we need to make sure that we remain with the small fund balance that is carried over year to year. So, I {the board) are asking for S1000.00 to S l 500.00 to be used for hardship money for enrollment of those less fortunate. I would be grateful for any and all consideration for any monies that are available. I can assure you that it will go to good use for these children, that otherwise might not be able to participate, and that would be a shame that they would be left out, and we all know when children have to much free time on their hands, that at times it's not a positive or productive in raising our future stewards of our community.
