Ridiculous Gap in SRA Parental Giving Sparks Critique
An editorial condemns Grand Saline Summer Recreation Association for weak parent contributions. The SRA budget nears 1400 dollars with only about 117 dollars from roughly 140 participating families, averaging under 85 cents per child, while businesses donate more. Director Lonny Humphrey and Finance Chair Billy Koonce blame lack of individual gifts, noting the program costs about 100 dollars per participant. Gene Germany privately covers Masterson's pool swimming costs to aid underprivileged kids, prompting calls for parents to contribute around ten dollars to meet expenses before the season ends.
