AREA FIVE WILL HELP FUND LOCAL YOUTH LEAGUES AND PROGRAMS

Logansport Community School Corporation students who participate in summer baseball and golf programs offered through the city park system will be able to enjoy participation underwritten by Area Five Council on Aging and Community Services. Area Five has agreed to fund the costs of outstanding bills remaining for students registered to participate in the youth baseball leagues at Fairview Park and Tower Park, and, Junior Golf Program participants at Dykeman Park Municipal Golf Course. Logansport Mayor Dave Kitchell said the support will be directed to students identified in the free-and-reduced lunch program offered through the schools. Eligible students who are registered either for beginning Minor League Baseball through Babe Ruth and Junior Golf participants will have their outstanding balances covered through the agency’s support. Families that qualify for the assistance will be notified of the availability of funding through their respective schools. All inquiries will remain confidential.
