After many long months of waiting, the Gaming Commission recently announced that our Rotary club had been awarded $7500 to be distributed to groups with both our Rotary club and our community. A week later we were awarded a further $7500 for a total of $15,000. The Gaming Committee met and their recommendations were presented at the April Executive meeting. Recipients will attend the May 5th business meeting for presentations.

The $15,000 was distributed as follows:

$2000 Rotary Adventures Programs
$3000 Rotary RYLA
$1000 Helping Hands Society
$1000 Squamish JOP Archery Program
$1000 Squamish Community Christmas Care
$1000 Big Brothers/Big Sisters Teen Mentoring Program

$15,000 TOTAL
