Dear Sir:
Since January of this year efforts have been made to establish some pere
manent program that would involve a majority of the people in this community
in various activities that would channel their energies in a desirable direc-
tion. Because it was announced early in this year that no funds would be
available in 1967 for this type of program, solicitation of volunteer workers
was attempted.
Some volunteers were secured and various activities are now being super-
vised by them. One out-of-town ministerial student worked with some basket=
ball teams during the school year but has now returned to his home in Pennsyle
vania.
Among the present activities are softball, basketball, dramatics, art,
Bible study, etc. Additional supervisory help could be used with some of the
above, but the pressing need is for trained supervision of teen-agers. Some
boys utilize the facilities of the George Washington Carver Boys Club; however,
this still leaves the problem teens without adequate supervision.
In view of more recent announcements regarding the availability of funds
and the consequent development of recreational programs, it is most urgent that
our area is not over-looked. It is felt that this is a reasonable request in
that we are mainly interested in assignment of personnel-to supervise the use
of the existing facilities.
The existing facilities include a large recreation field for softball,
basketball, volleyball, tennis, etc. These facilities are open to the General
Public.

May we expect your cooperation in obtaining suitable assistance in
this area?
Very, truly yours,
Gres A,
