| | | | | | | | Recommendation: Accept $1500 donation given from Sue Westegaard | | |
| | | | | | | | Discussion:
The City has received a monetary donation from Sue Westegaard in the amount of $1500.00. Ms. Westegaard continued support of our Women's Water Safety program is given in memory of Ms. Westegaard's mother, Helen Halvorson. Women's Water Safety is aimed to serve our female population who are not able to take lessons at the Community Center due cultural barriers. In this program we aim to teach water safety skills like floating, getting their faces wet, orienting themselves in the water and what to do if they find themselves in a water emergency. We also want to teach them how to be safe and keep others safe around water and to also have fun. | | |
| | | | | | | | Budget Impact: The donation will go towards the continuation of the program and covers expenses. | | |
