$0--&$5*7*5 r$0..6/*5: RUSSELL COMMUNITY GRANTS
CHRISTOPHER SMITH christopher.smith@eap.on.ca
Russell council approved two grants and denied one in its September 6 regular meeting. Council approved two ad hoc grants and denied one. The first grant was for $150 to be given to the Terry Fox Foundation, to be added to a previously approved grant in the amount of $300 meant to cover costs associated with the Terry Fox Run. The second grant was for $700, to be given to the Leadership féminin Prescott-Russell for its first symposium on October 3. Council denied a request for a $3000 grant from the Russell Lions Club and Rus- sell Agricultural Society, which they requested to cover rentals, salaries, advertising, sani- tation, sound, and other costs associated XJUIUIF3$.1.VTJDBM3JEFPO4FQUFNCFS 10. The ad hoc budget for 2022 currently rests at $7,285, so this grant request would account for almost half of the remaining budget for the next six months. Additionally, the organizers estimate about $9,500 in ticket sales from the cost of admittance, which is $10 for adults and $5 for children. However, council feels this is a significant underestimation, as when the event was last held in 2018, ticket sales amounted to $16,315. Even if ticket sales meet the expectation of $9,500, the organi- zers still estimate a net revenue of $3,650 including the grant. Council reasoned that even if it does not provide the $3,000 grant, that would leave an anticipated net gain of $650. For these reasons, council feels the grant is not needed for the event to proceed.
