Super good news from Sequoia Community Center
SD USA began supporting this project 3 years ago with a $500 donation from the Melinda Wallace Grant. It’s so nice to hear about their success in meeting the needs of their community.
From Amelia Williams, Project Director:
I want to share our super good news. Yesterday we were informed that our application to Tulare County for the $46,000 sliding accordion wall has been awarded!!!
This is through the American Rescue Plan (ARPA) funds they received and they dedicated a chunk of this specifically to Community Center Improvement.
As if that’s not enough to crow about – they awarded our full proposal of $107,000 which means we are getting a large generator for our ever-increasing power outages, a new heating/cooling system AND Starlink internet since it’s a challenge getting reception in this area.
AND as if that’s not enough – yesterday at our Fire Fair our dear county supervisor also said – BUT YOU DIDN’T ASK FOR ENOUGH!!!! Only one other community center applied so they have funds that they will have to return if not spent soon.
We have been asked to come up with a DREAM PLAN, asap this week.
We are crunching away.
This shows that the support from SDUSA has not only been well invested, you have helped provide an anchor from which we are now about to really fly.
At our Fire Fair yesterday we launched the tool library – which has now become “the Library of Things” including medical equipment (although those lightly used crutches & walkers).
THANK YOU SDUSA!!!
Amelia
