Funds finally received but short

You could imagine my excitement last Friday, when after a period of
much patience and restraint, I was finally able to receive from
treasury the much needed funds for the improvement of the basketball
equipment in Vieux Fort (this check has been attached for your
temporary enjoyment).

My elation that day floated me to the bank where I promptly deposited
this check on my credit card account, hoop dreams wafting through my
thoughts... Until today, 6 days later and after much research, I am
shocked to realize that the funds are grossly deficient.

The initial proposal, which is still available at our website
(http://www.vieuxfortsports.org/main.asp?sID=4&page=new_basketball_supports),
was submitted two years ago. Now the cost of these items have
increased collectively by more than $1000USD.

So what do we do now folks, since local businesses have been
complaining about economic problems and another grant from the
government may take at least half a year to receive approval.

What do we do now?

I had dreams of assisting our neighbouring courts in Black Bay and
Laborie with replacing basketball rims, and had already began talks
with concerned persons from each of these communities. But sadly, this
idea will have to be scrapped. We just don't have the money for it.

I have alerted the Director of Sports on this issue and hope to get an
audience with him soon.

So for now text, phone, email me your ideas. We have to find a way to
work this out.
