Hello Friends,
Teens

for high school Outing Clubs. We hope you can join us. Our
Grants-to-Clubs program begins now!

Outing Club Grants Available
At
our spring Conference '08, L.L.Bean announced financial support for our
new T3 Grants-to-Clubs Program to begin this school year. Teens To
Trails is putting funds directly into the hands of Outing Clubs to help
new Clubs get started and assist existing Clubs in strengthening their
programs. We hope to reach 3 to 5 Clubs right away with grants of
about $500 each. There is a simple application process. Requests are due October 15th with notification to grant recipients in November. Here are the GRANT GUIDELINES. Contact Carol Leone if you have questions or need help.
