Community Group awarded $3000

The Community Service group requested a grant from SGA of $5,370 to find a yearly trip to New Orleans to aid in restoring the city after the Hurricane Katrina devastation. The budget has increased since last year because the group has increased by 8 students.
The group was awarded $3,000, the largest amount given to a group not "officially" recognized by the SGA.
One SGA executive board member was slightly opposed, pointing out problems in our own community where the money could be spent.
An awareness event will be held at the school to help find money. Jeremy Lions, a victim of Hurricane Katrina, will be sharing his experiences and performing music.
