4-H SHOOTING SPORTS GRANTS AWARDED TO COUNTY PROGRAMS
Grant funds have been awarded to eight counties for starting or
strengthening 4-H Shooting Sports (http://www.utextension.utk.edu/4H/shootingsports/index.htm) programs. Those counties chosen by the
selection committee to receive funds are Blount, Crockett, Decatur, Giles,
Hamilton, Loudon, Obion, and Shelby. Those counties will be notified
separately of the exact amount of the award.
A total of 21 counties submitted applications, eight of which were
first-time applicants. This is the most ever received for this particular
grant program.
The grant monies will be used for the purchase of materials, equipment and
recognition for participants and/or training for leaders. Those receiving
grants are encouraged to pursue matching funds from community resources to
strengthen the potential for future funding.
The National Wild Turkey Federation is the donor for these grants funds.
Counties should thank their local chapters for their sponsorship.
Congratulations to those awarded grant funds, and thanks to all who
applied.
