At its October meeting, Council awarded Gralee School funding of $1,000 from the Quick Response Grant program to go towards five (5) students representing the Riverina at the Senior State Ten Pin Bowling Finals from 31 October – 2 November 2023 in Sydney.
Cr Paul Smith said to participate in representative sport, especially at a state level, is a very exciting opportunity for the students and their families.
“It’s really quite remarkable what they have achieved and should inspire us all that with the right support network, plenty of belief and perseverance, every individual can achieve greatness. We wish them all the best with the finals and can’t wait to hear about their experience,” he said.
Council’s Community Grants Program includes a ‘Quick Response’ Grant Category which aims to support activities that arise unexpectedly, with limited notice, outside the window of the twice-yearly Community Grants Scheme.
Applications within this category are capped at a maximum of $2,000.
