<br />ri1gt:: ~ Vi L. <br /> <br />* The Outdoor Recreation Grant for LaMotte Park will be resubmitted to the DNR next <br />week. The DNR is not expecting to have any funds available for this program this year, but <br />it is important to submit the grant to help them show the legislature that there is a need for <br />funding for municipal park projects. <br /> <br />. The Spring Lake Park Lion's have filed an application for permission to conduct <br />charitable gambling at Kelly's Korner. They plan to operate pull-tabs, meat raffles, a large <br />paddle wheel and various large item raffles. City ordinance requires that 50% of the profits <br />from these operations must directly benefit the residents of Centerville. Last year this <br />organization donated over $470,000 towards charitable projects. They currently operate <br />gambling in four other sites. I spoke to the Spring Lake Park City Administrator in regards <br />to how this club has operated in the City of Spring Lake Park. She said that the club's <br />charitable gambling proceeds have been used for new playground equipment, trails, <br />shelters and other park projects. The Centerville Lion's hope to partner with the Spring <br />Lake Park Lion's in identifying worthy park projects to be completed with the use of <br />gambling proceeds. <br /> <br />* Enjoy your weekend! <br /> <br />3/24/00 <br />
