Lakeshore Drive Ocoee, FL 34761 Dear Ms. Wright: For 43 years, the Christian Service Center has reached out and made a difference in the lives of those in Central Florida who are in need of help and hope. Please find enclosed a City of Ocoee Community Grant Program Application for review by the City of Ocoee's Community Grant Review Board, in hopes of a continued partnership to help our West Orange neighbors. This year, the Center is requesting $500 to help with the cost of appliance and equipment maintenance necessary for our Ocoee location's Family & Emergency Services and Daily Bread program. In 1981 due to the increased demand of the impoverished in the West Orange community, an outreach ministry of the Center was established to provide Family & Emergency Services. Since then hundreds of thousands of individuals have been touched through this compassion ministry. In 1991, our Daily Bread program expanded into the Ocoee location providing comfort to the hungry. In 2013, through West Orange FES 2,156 clients were provided direct assistance who were struggling with personal crises and 56,883 nourishing noon -time meals were served to individuals in West Orange who would otherwise go hungry. In the spring 2014, the Daily Bread program reached the milestone of 4,000,000 meals served. The requested funds will help cover the cost of basic repairs to equipment that would allow these vital ministries to continue. Thank you for your continued support, friendship and for considering our 2014 community grant request. Please feel free to contact Mary Lee Walker directly with any questions at 407 -425- 2523 ext. 230 or mlwalker @christianservicecenter.org.

Lakeshore Drive Ocoee, FL 34761 Dear City Commissioners, You are truly a community leader. With your sponsorship of children, our community will be creating "Healthy Kids" by enriching the lives of those who would never be able to afford high - quality swim lessons through physical fitness. By offering swim lessons, we can help save their lives with survival skills. The goal of the Gift of Swimming scholarship program is to directly impact the children in the City of Ocoee by making a positive difference in their lives and their family's lives. Secondary goals are to produce healthier bodies, minds and spirits by improving their self confidence, self- esteem and pride. The community as a whole benefits when children learn team skills and good decision - making. Drowning is the #1 cause of accidental death in children ages 0 -4. Drowning is the 2 nd leading cause of death in all children. The Gift of Swimming was established as a 501(c)3 charitable organization in 2003 to address a serious gap by providing potentially lifesaving swim training for disadvantaged and developmentally disabled children. Every child needs to learn to swim. Every child deserves to learn to swim. Cvp r . r e. � child deserves to live. Thank you for your previous support and please consider approving this $500.00 Community Grant to swim the Ocoee children. /Sind rely, Joy MCGinty Founder thegiftofswimming@yahoo.corn The Gift of Swimming Inc. has received recognition of exemption under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code CITY OF O ry O E E Community Grant P o:. am A pp{ica io n Funding JULY 201 When completing this application, use only the space provided.

We had a visit today from our last scholarship recipient Justin Butler and his mom Julie. We handed hire his $1,000 check and he told us he wants to major in Theater and go into acting. He may be famous one day and we are happy to have contributed to achieve his dreams. Thomas Staples from La Rosa Realty visited out club today and may possibly join. He lives in Ocoee. Items discussed: 1. We need to come up with a date to hold a Rotary Day. This is a day where we invite friends, family, co- workers, community leaders to either an ice cream social or barbecue and let them know who we are, where we are and what we do for the community. It is a chance to attract future members and at the same time make our presence known. 2. Fred brought up the Community Grant Program where the city grants an Ocoee non - profit or civic group up to $500.00. 1 have downloaded the application but will need assistance completing it. It is due July 30 3. 1 will contact Christine Moore from the Orange County School Board to ask about the donation of the lawnmower that is sitting in Pam's office. 4. The city will be making a new sign for the Maguire House and have agreed to let us hang our sign below it. We don't know yet when this will take place. 5. October 24 is World Polio Day and Rotary International is looking to use well known structures to project a message. We are looking for an outdoor projection device that will be used for that one day and for one image. Hopefully the device will be donated. If you know anyone that works for Disney, or Universal or Sea World or a big church that might be able to provide us with this device, that would be great. The Amway arena or, as Pam is hoping, the Epcot Ball would be great locations to project our message. If we can get the projection device, then we can project it on the wall of the Health Central Hospital as Pam suggested. Pam has a power point presentation as to what the messages are. 6. Fred also mention that on Founder's Day there is a 5K run and if we volunteer to help with the run this year, we might be the organization chosen next year to benefit from the fundraiser. It is also a good opportunity to get the community to know us. Fred suggested we have a tent with literature to hand out. 7. As Lou suggested we need to discuss the set -up of committees for our different projects. 8. Lou also suggested that on the days we have speakers, that we provide them with donuts and bagels. All present agreed. Next week we have as a speaker John Stiteler with Total Health Guidance. He is a counselor and life coach. On July 23r our new District Governor Josephine Weber will be visiting our club and on July 30 Kate Martin from UCP of Central Florida will be coming to speak to us about her foundation. Please reply back to all with any omissions, additions or deletions. Thank you all that were present today for holding my hand on my first day as president. Thanks n �; .. � ...�,.. ....mom..

For example: 08 -09 fencing and additions project estimated cost for materials was $7000. 09 -10 tack area and remaining renovations was estimated at $1200. List the fundraisers your organization holds? Plant sales (in front of local businesses, at Founder's Day, and The Ocoee and Winter Garden Farmers Market, Car Washes, Bake Sales, Raffles, Food Vending, yard sales, and making calls for goods needed. How many members, volunteers and /or paid employees does your organization have? There are no paid employees. I am the only one in my organization. There are approximately 50 parent and 25 -30 students volunteers that attend both school sponsored fundraisers and OFFAB fundraisers. Some parents will attend all fundraisers for both the school and OFFAB and some will attend 2 to 3 throughout the year. How many live in Ocoee? 55 How many clients does your organization serve? 4 schools - -OMS FFA, OHS FFA, WOHS FFA, OMS nurse, & OES nurse. How many live in Ocoee? 3 of the schools are located in Ocoee. Has your organization applied for a grant from the City before? No Did you receive a grant from the City of Ocoee? No If so, how much money did you receive? N/A Does your organization volunteer in the Ocoee community? Yes If yes, what volunteer activities do you participate in? I am an additions volunteer at Ocoee Elem, Ocoee Middle, and Ocoee High School. I volunteer at the book fairs, field days, and chaperone field trips. All of my fundraiser's are on a volunteer basis. 1 also volunteer at the OMS and OHS sponsored fundraisers and at the West Orange Girls Club. The majority of volunteers are current parents & students of OMS FFA & OHS FFA. OFFAB fundraisers and OMS and OHS sponsored fundraisers; collect food for food drive, and decorate the Health Central Rehab Center at Halloween and Christmas. There are a large number of the volunteering parents & students who are former parents & students of OMS & OHS FFA. There are several parents who volunteer as coaches for the West Orange Girls Club and Ocoee Little League. Several students and parents volunteer as coaches and helpers for the little league cheerleaders. There are several parents and students who volunteer at the Orlando Christian Center in Ocoee and several of Ocoee's Churches. A large number of FFA parents and students recruited friends and family members to help build stalls, run fence, plumbing pipes, and built chicken houses at the new OMS livestock field, help transport animals, and help out OMS at the fair. Though the majority of the parents volunteer in the schools and FFA projects the FFA students volunteer in many areas of the community. The majority of all the volunteers live in Ocoee. Does your organization provide a venue for Ocoee residents to volunteer? The majority of OFFAB volunteers are Ocoee residents whose children are no longer in FFA or even in school who still volunteer at school sponsored FFA fundraisers, OFFAB sponsored fundraisers, food drives, and help out at the livestock fields. But I have no permanent location for volunteering but have secured several local businesses that allow us to fundraise at their business. How many yearly volunteer hours does your organization contribute to the community and how are those hours tracked or documented? 1 contribute approximately 1000 hrs to the schools and 20 hrs to the girls club. I do not document each volunteer or their hours individually. I do document all the pick- ups and deliveries, field trips, fundraisers, and so on that I do. Please list the specific accomplishments your organization has achieved in the past 24 months: School Year 2010 -11 Fundraisers: Plant sale to purchase rakes and shuffles. Donations Received School Year's 2010 -11 thru 2012 -13 OFFAB received 10 to 12 loads of dirt from Lake Warehouse Environmental, transportation of said dirt donated by C &W, donations of food for dinner for OMS, OHS, & West Orange High School (WOHS) FFA students while they were at the CFF was received from Chili's Pine Hills, Denny's Ocoee, Frank's Place Ocoee, Gator's Dockside Ocoee, Hardee's Ocoee, Hardee's Pine Hills, McDonalds Pine Hills, Olive Garden Pine Hills, Papa John's Ocoee, Papa John's Pine Hills, Subway Ocoee, Taco Bell Pine Hills, and Winter Garden Pizza Company. And plant donations from our 7 nurseries that are annual sponsors... Nelson Roses in Apopka /Louise, Robinson Nursery in Apopka /Carol, S &L Nursery in Plymouth /Shirley, The Green Machine Inc in Winter Garden /Joann, Top Nursery in Apopka/Sunny, Tropical Cuttings Inc in Apopka /Rickey Robertson, and Wekiwa Gardens in Apopka /Kathrein Markle. We acquired 12 new sponsors with 7 becoming annual sponsors by donating food to the students every year; bring our annual sponsors to a total of 16. School Year 2012 -13 OFFAB held a car wash at 7- Eleven Ocoee and a plant sale to raise funds for OHS to build its first tack box for the school's first time to stand on their own and not in OMS's tack area at the CFF and to purchase appreciation plaques for our 16 annual sponsors. OFFAB held a Christmas plant sale to purchase rakes, shuffles, lime, and push brooms. Also secured donations of lumber and held a 50150 raffle to build housing facilities for OHS animals on campus. Donations Received 2012 -13 OHS Tack Area CFF Lumber donations from Lowes Winter Garden, Plant donations provided by Knox Nursery Winter Garden, Green Masters Inc. Apopka, Peckett's Plantastics Inc. in Apopka, Nelson Roses, Robinson Nursery, S &L Nursery, The Green Machine Inc, Top Nursery, Tropical Cuttings Inc, and Wekiwa Gardens. We picked up 3 new nurseries for the 3 we lost as they went out of business. Donations Received 2013 -14 OFFAB received 10 to 12 loads of dirt from Lake Warehouse Environmental, transportation of dirt provided by C &W. Plants from Knox Nursery Winter Garden, Green Masters Inc. Apopka, and Peckett's Plantastics Inc. Apopka. In 2012 (2012 -13 sch yr) OFFAB became an OCPS vendor and was ask by OHS FFA advisor, Mr Peter Jordan, to attend the Heart of Florida steer sale and bid on OHS FFA's first chapter steer, housed and picked up steer feed for the chapter steer as well as helped the OHS student who was showing the steer to break and train him. OFFAB recruited a former OMS & OHS FFA student to design the layout of the housing facilities on OHS campus, awarded 16 sponsors with appreciation plaques, raised funds and built OHS FFA their first tack area for the fair so they no longer have to share with the middle school, and helped OHS raise funds to build housing for their livestock animals on school campus so they now have their own livestock field and no longer have to share a field with the middle school. I met with Thad Brannon of Lake Environmental May of 2013 and secured unlimited loads of dirt so I could provide OMS, OHS, & WOHS with dirt throughout the year. 2013 -14 sch yr: I invited Thad Brannon of Lake Environmental to the 2013 -14 end of the year OMS FFA Banquet and he participated in the cake auction and contributed $200 to OMS FFA program, OFFAB also was able to secure a community gift card from CVS for the OMS nurse to purchase a much needed thermometer for the clinic. The up- coming event "We Need A New Truck Benefit" (which this grant request is for) will be my biggest accomplishment thus far. Please include any other pertinent information about your organization or this specific grant request that you feel would help the City in making its decision: My name is Donna Sue Gable; I am the fundraising director and founder of Ocoee FFA Boosters (OFFAB) non- profit organization. OFFAB was founded and started by three parents of Ocoee Middle School (OMS) FFA students during the school year of 06 -07. These parents were on a mission to help raise funds to provide the OMS livestock field with accommodations needed for the safety of the animals the field houses and to help the OMS FFA students provide a safe, stable, and clean environment for themselves and the animals. With the help from other parents of OMS FFA students along with parents and students from Ocoee High School (OHS) FFA program OFFAB has volunteered countless hours fundraising, providing labor for renovations, and chaperoning events. All to help make sure these children have the things they need to continue their education in the Agricultural Science field. When the school year 07 -08 came to an end; OFFAB was left with one of the three founding parents, Donna Sue Gable. In 2010 OFFAB started fundraising for both OMS and OHS FFA Livestock Programs, in 2012 added West Orange High School (WOHS) and became an Orange County Public Schools (OOPS) vendor, in 2013 added OMS Nurse, and this year (2014) Ocoee FFA Boosters will also fundraise for Ocoee Elementary School's (OES) Nurse. FFA is not just an extracurricular activity. The students in the OMS FFA program also attend a class in AgriScience during school hours and participate in many competitions throughout the year. These competitions test their knowledge on materials learned in class; such as conservation, horticulture, and animal and plant anatomy. The FFA livestock program also teaches leadership skills, and Agribusiness skills to help students who wish to pursue a career in the many different fields of Agriculture. OCPS are only allowed to hold two fundraisers a year and cannot raise enough funds for the items the livestock field needs. So I started a nonprofit organization so I could hold as many fundraisers as needed, because I am a private non - profit organization and not a teacher or employee of the Orange County Public Schools. I can also hold a car wash which Orange County middle schools are not allowed to hold /sponsor and I can hold a raffle which OCPS are not allowed hold /sponsor a raffle or sell raffle tickets as it is considered gambling. OFFAB can hold these events on OMS' behalf OFFAB is an OOPS vendor; vendor # 135134. Depending on OMS FFA advisors needs or wishes for funds raised. OFFAB writes the school a check for all the funds raised as a donation or purchases items from funds raised and donates them to the FFA program. At the beginning of each school year there is a parent student FFA meeting parents share their ideas on fundraisers and what is needed at the field. We decide on events to participate in; such as Founders Day, Ocoee Farmers Market, Winter Garden Farmers Market, and /or store fronts, and what type of fundraiser (plant sale, raffle, car wash). I call local businesses tell them what we are raising money for, where we will hold the fundraiser, and if they would be able to donate items for us to sell. I set up pick -up dates and times, secure a booth at the event, pick -up the items, and get FFA parents and students to volunteer for a certain number of hours at the event. Throughout the year I will attend additional FFA student meetings to see if the students need help setting up a fundraiser or if they have any new ideas or projects they want to fundraise for. During the year OMS, OHS, & WOHS advisors will contact me when they need particular items for the field, dirt delivery, lime, lumber, wheel barrow(s), wheel barrow tires, shuffles, rakes, water hoses, and so on. For donations of supplies and equipment 1 will start making phone calls to secure donations arrange day and time to pick up the donations and deliver them to the field. OFFAB is hosting a "We Need A New Truck Benefit" for OMS FFA to raise money for OMS FFA Livestock Program to purchase a truck to pull their gooseneck trailer and to help the OMS & OES' clinic. This event will not only benefit OMS & OES but also the community and local businesses; as channel 6 will be reporting on this benefit and OFFAB will let the public know that Ocoee is also the home of The Ocoee Annual Founder's Day Festival since 1993 and The Annual St Patrick's Day Festival & Chili /BBQ Cook Off put on by the local Ocoee Fire Dept 3623 to help build homes for hero's for the past five years. The OMS FFA Livestock Program is in dire need of a truck that will pull their gooseneck trailer and save them from a very potentially dangerous situation. Their current truck is no longer reliable or safe. The past few years each time OMS FFA has set out to transport their animals this truck has left the advisor, students, and animals stranded on the side of the road. The last two times it left them stranded it was its first trip after being in the shop. This is also a hazard for others traveling on the road. The truck's engine will cut off for no reason while driving. The animals become hot and stressed while waiting for someone to come with the little trailer. The advisor, animals, and students can be stranded for hours as it takes two trips in the little trailer to transport the animals. The situation becomes even more hazardous as students and parents try to unload the animals off one trailer and onto another while on the side of the road. There is the danger of the animals breaking free from a student/parent and running in to traffic. This can cause harm and /or death to the animal, the driver that hits the animal, and even a student/parent. OFFAB would also like permission to hold this benefit at the Bill Breeze Park location. This event would be held on Saturday August 31 2014 from 10am to 6pm and on Sunday September 1 2014 from 10am to 4pm. I have a list of Art Expo venders that 1 will invite to participate upon approval of this request I will also have 9 to 2 food vendors at the event. One food vendor will be my profit business, Donna Sue's Bar -B -Que. Wranglers 4H and the West Orange Girls Club will also participate in this event, at this time it is not confirmed which of the two (Wranglers 4H or WOGC) will food vend. I will also invite local businesses from our community wishing or needing to promote their business. There will be no entertainment to attract guest to this event; making the items OFFSB is requesting crucial the success of this venture. OFFAB will request a donation from each vendor for their space for the two day event. OFFAB will not require a donation for the nurses' space from OMS & OES, nor for Wrangles 4H, or The West Orange Girls Club if they too decide to fundraise at this event. Because Donna Sue's Bar -B -Q is a profit business it will pay the donation request for space. The proceeds made from the donations received from vendors for their spaces, 25% of proceeds from Donna Sue's Bar - B -Que, proceeds from 50150 raffle, and the raffling of the items mentioned above to be purchased with this grant will go to OMS FFA "We Need A Truck Benefit ". The OMS & OES nurses will have parents from the schools to provide baked goods for a bake sale and other items that students have hand crafted to sell. The nurses will also sell water and sodas the food vendors will not sell drinks. The proceeds from the nurse's booth will be split between the two schools.
