of $130 370 00 from the CJD (M&C G-14308) The Parks and Community Services Department submitted
the proposal for the Diamond Hill Coalition After-School Program in collaboration with the YMCA and

funding but funds were not available From September 1 2007 until May 31 2009 the program was

suspended With this new grant application if awarded the grant year will run September 1 2010 through
