It is a wonderful program that can benefit many local organizations and we hope our application will be reviewed favorably. We do a lot of work with local dogs by getting them off Ocoee streets, having them fully vetted to lessen the impact on pet overpopulation and make sure they are adopted into loving, permanent homes. We are currently running a Free Spay /Neuter program specifically for Ocoee residents which is also aiding in the efforts toward lessening pet overpopulation.

No What is your organization's primary funding source? Fundraisers How much money does your organization receive from your primary funding source each year? If we have a particular project we hold a fundraiser each fundraiser brings in a different amount. There is no annual source of monetary funds. What other sources of revenue does your organization have? None: OFFAB only holds fundraisers for particular projects and needs. If there is no need for funds to purchase items or make renovations, there are only donations of goods and services from companies; such as C &W provides transportation of dirt every year since 2006, Ace Hardware and Diamond R with lime donations, and Lake Warehouse Environmental Services donates the dirt. Starting the 2010 -11 School year C &W started delivering 10 to 12 loads of dirt each school year. As the number of Ocoee Middle School (OMS) FFA animals increased and to include Ocoee High School (OHS) FFA and west Orange High School (WOHS) FFA. What is your annual budget for this year? Last year? There is no budget as Ocoee FFA Boosters raises funds for different projects and the amount of funds needed for each project at the time of need. The amount of funds depends on the needs of the livestock field at the time. 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. though OHS & WOHS has not needed any donations this year both schools, from time to time, need contact information for vendors to help them with donations and remain on our client's list. OFFAB also manages an OHS FFA FB page where I post updates to FFA students on upcoming events, reminders of official weigh in dates for their animals, and post changes in weight requirements, record book due dates, and rule changes from the CFF. This FB page is also how OHS FFA students contact me for questions on types of fundraisers they can do, rules and requirements for fundraisers, and who to contact at a particular event to obtain a booth. Has your organization applied for a grant from the City before? Yes July 2014. 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. I also volunteer at the OMS and OHS sponsored fundraisers and at the West Orange Girls Club (WOGC). The majority of OFFAB volunteers are current and former parents & students of OMS FFA & OHS FFA along with recruited friends of these current/former parents and students. When OMS moved their FFA livestock field from Hackney Prairie to WOHS. A large number of FFA current/former parents and students recruited friends and family members to help take down existing stalls and chicken houses and re-build them, run fence, and plumbing pipes at the new OMS FFA livestock field. OFFAB fundraisers' for OMS FFA, OHS FFA and volunteers at OMS and OHS sponsored fundraisers. OMS FFA collects food for food drive, and decorate the Health Central Rehab Center at Halloween and Christmas. 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, help transport animals, and help out OMS at the Central Florida Fair (CFF). Though the majority of the parents volunteer in the schools and FFA projects the FFA students also 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 with a large number of 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. Though I have no permanent location for residents to volunteer as our fundraiser's are always in different locations. I have secured several local businesses that allow us to fundraise at their businesses. How many yearly volunteer hours does your organization contribute to the community and how are those hours tracked or documented? I contribute approximately 1000 hrs to the schools and 20 hrs to the WOGC. 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 l do.

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. OFFAB made a large donation of yard sale items for a school sponsored yard sale fundraiser and also helped organize and run a parent/Frank's Place sponsored cook -out and carwash in March 2014. 2014-15 sch yr: OFFAB secured 3 new nurseries picked up and delivered 60 plants to OMS and participated in the removal and planting for the OMS Beautification Project on campus. in Oct 2014, participated in a parent sponsored carwash, and was able to get the Public Works Dept of the City o f Ocoee to pick up dirt from Lake Environmental in Clermont and deliver it to the OMS Livestock field located at WOHS because C &W's truck was down. OFFAB was also able to secure The Bill Breeze Park (BBP) and have the fees waived at the City Commission Meeting on January 6,2015 for a 2 day event to take place later this year. I am in the process of working with Jeff Hayes to confirm a date for this event; hoping for Sept 26th & 27th, 2015. Other than securing the BBP this up- coming event 'We Need A New Truck Benefit" (which this grant request is for) will be my biggest accomplishment thus far. This event will help raise money for a new truck for the OMS FFA Livestock Program, funding for both OMS & OES Nurses Program. OFFAB' website will be up and running by March 1st, 2015 with paypal so people can purchase raffle tickets for this and future events. 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 current and former parents and students of OMS FFA and OHS FFA programs 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. At the end of the 06 -07 school year one of the 3 founding parents would leave as their child moved on to high school. When the school year 07 -08 came to an end; OFFAB was left with one (Donna. Sue Gable) of the three founding parents as their child also advanced on to high school. At the end of 08 -09 my oldest child would also advance on to OHS. Though it would be 3 years before my youngest child would enter OMS; I continued what 1 had started in 2006, OFFAB. And though my youngest child will attend high school next year and I will once again find myself without a child at OMS. f_ will continue OFFAB and fundraising for OMS FFA far beyond this school year. In 2010 OFFAB started fundraising for both OMS and OHS FFA Livestock Programs, in 2012 added WOHS and became an Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) vendor. In 2013 OFFAB added OMS Nurse's program and in 2014. added OES Nurse's program to our list; though we will not actually fundraise for OES until the Sept 2015 event. In 2014 . we also extended an invitation to help Wranglers 4H youth and the WOGC with fundraising events and invited them to participate in our 2015 event. 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 OCPS 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 the items 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 t0 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 I will start making phone calls to secure donations arrange day and time to pick up the donations and deliver the items to the field. About the event: 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' Nurses ' program (clinic's in both schools). 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 6 years. Though this event will take place after the July grant cycle 1 am applying for the January 2015 grant cycle so I can purchase the raffle items and start selling the tickets in March 2015. The longer I sell tickets the more funds I can raise. cannot sell tickets for items I do not have. To me selling tickets for items I do not have is unethical. Many things can go wrong such as the items not being available at the time I need them, sold, out, and or on back order that would prevent me from producing the item I advertised and then trying to explain why their ticket was drawn and they have won a different item. This p laces distrust in me, my organization, and OMS. 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. have a list of Art Expo venders that I will invite to participate in this event as well as local businesses. I will also have 2 to 3 food vendors at the event. Wranglers 4H and the WOGC will also participate in this event; at this time it is not confirmed if they 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 OFFAB is requesting to purchase with this grant crucial, to 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 OMS, OES, Wrangles 4H, or the WOGC to make a donation for their spaces. Proceeds from the raffling of the items mentioned above (to be purchased with this grant) and the funds from vendors for their spaces 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 proceeds from the nurse's booth will be split between the two schools. Please attach documentation (meeting minutes or letter) to verify that your organization supports this application. The funds will be utilized within the City of Ocoee or have a direct benefit to the citizens of the City of Ocoee.

I Sharmice Hudson, fully support the funding request submitted. As a new community leader in the Ocoee /Orlando area I believe our organization will assist the community by providing a positive outlet for our youth. The Orlando Chargers Organization is focused on teaching and training our youth the fundamentals of basketball with an emphasis on preparing them for the next level of play in middle, high school and hopefully college. We have assembled some of the finest basketball players in the Orlando /Ocoee area. We like to emphasize that we develop our own players. We currently have 60 talented players, both academically and athletically. We are proud to field teams in the following age divisions for our current 2015 Spring /Summer Season: GIRLS /BOYS - 4n -11th grade. Our goal is to also provide our players with educational resources and support such as tutors and mentors in an effort to make our athletes more competitive and marketable for scholarship opportunities. By competing in high profile basketball tournaments, located in cities throughout the U.S., our teams gain valuable exposure to college coaches and recruiters, thus making scholarship opportunities available to our players. As a new organization, we are relying on support from dedicated people such as yourself. We appreciate any type of contribution to our program either monetary, or goods and services. However, as related funds are used to pay for equipment only. All funds awarded will go directly to our program equipment as our coaches and assistants are dedicated volunteers. Upon request we will happily provide any additional information regarding our program. We look forward to hearing from you or a representative from the City of Ocoee to discuss our program in detail.
