SPARC Gives Nearly $20,000 to Santee Recreation Programs

The Santee Park and Recreation Committee presented a giant $19,683 check to the City Council at the meeting last week- funds that were raised by the group at events throughout the year and will be used to keep city recreation programs afloat.

According to the City of Santee website, "Funds raised will benefit municipal parks, community programs and the Recreation Scholarship Program which provides financial assistance to qualifying Santee families allowing children, teens and seniors to take part in the City's recreation programs."

The stated purpose of SPARC is to provide input to the City Council on park and recreation matters. They meet the first Thursday of every month in the Community Services building Conference Room, and the meeting is open to the public.
