III. GUEST SPEAKER. Charity Worden is the coordinator for the after-school program started this year at the Beaver Creek School. The main goal is academic enrichment and tutoring, but there are also sessions for fine arts. All students in grades K-8 are eligible. There is an activity bus that leaves at 4:30, which costs $35 per day to run. The cost for students to enroll in the after-school program is only $10.00 for the entire year. The time slots are 2:10-3:10 p.m. and 3:20-4:20 p.m. The school is partially funding the program using tax credit dollars and advertising on buses.
A motion was passed for LMPOA to donate $1000.00 to the after-school program at Beaver Creek School.
Charity Worden also said the school is looking for volunteers to be "reading buddies". Volunteers must undergo background checks and fingerprinting. .
IV. COMMITTEE REPORTS
A. TRANSPORTATION. Janet presented her full monthly written report and answered questions. (See copy of report attached to these minutes). BCRC has scheduled a Public Transportation Community Meeting on Sept. 20 from 10-11:30 AM at the Beaver Creek Baptist Church. The McGuireville interchange project was delayed due to a shortfall in federal funding, which is expected to be fixed by an appropriation. The good news is that bids came in lower than estimated.
B. PLANNING and ZONING. Steve gave a brief presentation. He continues to attend the Planning and Zoning meetings and monitoring any proposed zoning amendments.
C. PARKS. Chris said the park needs some light bulbs and floats for the fountain.
D. WATER/FLOODING. Karen attended a class on watershed mapping Duane Wiles is not available to speak at LMPOA this year, but will try to arrange a time next year.
E. PUBLICITY. The Bugle did not print the press release sent to them regarding the Eddie Lodge ceremony. Instead, they shortened the release to a few lines about Eddie as the owner of the liquor store. Steve noted a reporter had been in attendance at the ceremony and perhaps there would be some publicity. It was suggested that the full press release be sent to the Adult Center for their newsletter.
