A maximum of $20,000 was available for this round of funding with a cap of $5,000 per grant award.
The county received approximately $35,000 in requests for $20,000 in funding; therefore not all of the applications could be fully funded.
The following organizations were awarded recreational mini grant funding based on their number of participants served and programs provided: Clear Lake Scullers, Girl Scouts in Lake County, Lake County Channel Cats, Wiloth Equine Therapy and Youth Services of Lake County.
Clymire thanked all the organizations that help provide wonderful recreational opportunities for Lake County residents.
The recreation mini grants are made available in an effort to show support for county recreation programs during a time when the county cannot afford to fund and operate a countywide recreation division.
A second round of funding is available of $10,000 with a $5,000 maximum award. Priority will be given to applicants that have not received prior funding.
Applications are being accepted until the end of January 2010 and awards will be made in February 2010.
Applications are available through the Public Services Department at 333 Second St., Lakeport, CA 95453.
If you have questions, please contact the Public Services Department at 707-262-1618.

Last year there were so many beautifully decorated homes it was really tough to pick the winners.
This year they are in search of those houses that go all out and decorate for the holidays. We're not talking just a few lights – we're talking the kind of holiday lighting "Tim the Toolman Taylor" would be proud of.
If you think your home is up to the challenge, contact the chamber at 707-994-3600 to enter their holiday decoration contest for homeowners. There is no fee to enter.
Prizes will be awarded for the top three homes selected by the judges.
The deadline is Dec. 15.
Judges will visit the homes in the contest, and first-, second- and third-place winners will be announced in the local media.
