Council approves bed-tax grants for nonprofits
06.02.12
The Dublin City Council finance committee met last week to hear $250,000 in grant requests for 2012 hotel/motel-tax grants and made a recommendation to council to approve 14 applications. Lorene Hetherington, Sells PTO president, told finance committee members the first charity 5K is set for April 28 and will involve students, parents and community members. Sells Middle School currently has three teachers dealing with cancer, so proceeds from the race could benefit the American Cancer Society as well as groups that deal with pancreatic and colon cancer. Grants approved include up to $2,000 for city services for a new charity run organized by the Sells Middle School PTO. Nearly $150,000 in grants for local nonprofits were approved by Dublin City Council this week.
