We would like you to consider joining our Meeteetse Youth Work Program for the 2014-2015 year. Our goal for the program is to provide youth work experience and provide businesses the extra help they may need and cannot afford. The program pays for the youth wages and the businesses agree to help provide our youth with a learning work experience. The Meeteetse Youth Work Program Board is now requiring a $250.00 Business registration fee. The fee is due to the Town of Meeteetse on March 1, 2015. The fee will help with the initial pr ogr am costs and help leverage private donations and grant dollars. The funding for the program is changing and it is important to show business buy-in. Businesses are also required to sign a contract with the Town of Meeteetse and sign the Meeteetse Youth Program Guidelines. Please contact Angie at 868-2278 or [email protected] to receive a copy of these documents. If you are interested in the program please complete a job description for the positions you may have available. The job descriptions can be emailed to [email protected] or dropped off at the Town Hall. Please provide your job description by April 6, 2015. These job descriptions will be handed out to the youth on April 11, 2014. The MYWP is a partnership between the state of Wyoming Department of Workforce Services, the Town of Meeteetse, the Meeteetse Schools, the Wyoming Community Foundation, and many Meeteetse employers. It is in this spirit of partnership that we ask you to financially support this program at whatever level you are able. This year we ar e tasked with raising $10,00 to match a contribution from the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services. Any contribution would be greatly appreciated, and every dollar goes back into the pockets of the youth employed by the program. For more information feel free to contact John Fernandez @ 307-868-2603- [email protected] or Angie Johnson @ [email protected]. Richard is at Hospice House in Cody receiving excellent care. Richard and I would like to thank everyone for the prayers, visits, monetary gifts, food, cards, flowers, balloons, transportation, phone calls. We also wish to thank his Doctors & PA’s, Nurses & CNA’s who took excellent care of him. A special thank you to John and the ladies that went on the Rec bus 12, 11, 14 to Cody with me and thanks again for the pleasant surprise they had for me. ~Richard & Hope Lindgren Spring .22 shoot At Meeteetse Shooting Range Rain or Shine Saturday, March 7 2015 10AM – Sighting-in Shoot until ?
