Tammy Baney: Amount: Signature: Dennis Luke: Amount: Signature: Alan Unger: Amount: Signature: 1. High school rodeo was created to give school students the opportunity to participate and compete in this unique and challenging sport. Our local student athletes are not only members of the "Tri -County High School Rodeo Club" but also member of the"Oregon High School Rodeo Association" and the "National High School Rodeo Association". The OHSRA involves over 300 students and their families who live throughout the state. We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to the development of sportsmanship, horsemanship and character in the youth of our communities. We stress the importance of education by requiring high academic standards in order to compete and help teach life skills such as leadership, responsibility, dedication and commitment. We are an independent student athletic association without assistance from tax dollars. With the support from their families, this local club and our communities help these athletes gain the resources to participate in this great sport. The Club is dedicated to promoting and maintaining an enthusiastic interest in the sport of high school rodeo and promoting the highest type of moral conduct and sportsmanship among it's aspiring cowboy and cowgirl athletes. 2. Every year the students produce and promote their annual high school rodeo held in May. The expenses incurred by the club are covered only with the assistance from Deschutes County, volunteers, contributions and business & personal support. The grant would be used to help offset the expenses incurred for our 2011 rodeo. 3. This coming year the Tri -County High School Rodeo will be held in May (Mothers Day weekend). We will begin organizing other funding for our production of this rodeo in January and February. 4. The Tri -County High School Rodeo will improve the economic development in the Central Oregon area and Deschutes County by bringing to the area an expected 600+ people including our rodeo contestants, their families and supporters. These people would be utilizing the community and supporting our local merchants through lodging, food, fuel, shopping etc. in production of our rodeo. 5. Our local high school contestants who are competing are the direct recipients. The rodeo provides the students with an opportunity to display their athletic abilities and skills. Each contestant has the equal opportunity to display his or her own abilities. The local group of young cowboys and cowgirls benefit from the experience of being part of a team and learning the advantages of working together for the common goal, while learning leadership and organizational skills. If there are funds left after all expenses are paid, those funds are used solely for the members education and future or rodeo. The area merchants benefit from the influx of rodeo contestants and their families using and buying the available services and merchandise. The local public benefits by being offered the opportunity to watch and support our local and non -local talented athletes and by the opportunity to enjoy a part of American heritage and the great sport of rodeo. 6.
