RECO: I; IENDAT I ON <br />The West Wabasso Civic League would like to make a recommendation to the <br />Indian River County School*Board for the use of the entire Douglas School <br />grounds and facilities in Wabasso, Florida. <br />We propose to organize a Community Resource Center, whereby, the citi- <br />zens of this community can better themselves both socially and economically. <br />The citizens of this community have expressed a need for a recreational <br />and educational program that is within walking distance to their resident. <br />If such a program is provided under these circumstances, the citizens of <br />Wabasso will be in full cooperation in making this program successful. <br />Since the Douglas School will be phased out, we feel that this is the <br />opportune time to introduce such a program in this area. <br />PRESENT PROGRAM <br />We would like to maintain the existing Basic Education Program - already <br />in progress under the direction of Mr. LeVerne Patterson, Director II, Adult <br />Vocational Community Education. ` <br />At the present time, there are approximately 16 adults registered in this <br />program under two instructors; Mrs. Theola Perry and Mrs. Annie Jenkins. <br />Statistics shows that this program is functioning favorably and will have <br />a devastating effect on the North County Adult Educational Program in this <br />county should this program be relocated. <br />The people in this community generally don't attend this type of program <br />when it is outside of their immediate neighborhood. <br />Furthermore, the Wabasso Civic League would like to see the Summer Re- <br />creational and Feeding Program remain intact at this neighborhood school. <br />MAR 319882 FA, <br />
