BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:

grant to construct a kit greenhouse. The Holland America Line Inc, Community Advisory Board
of Seward awarded the grant in full. The City will soon be acquiring the greenhouse for a quick
assembly and into action for a late growing season.
Holland America has been very generous to the TYC in the past, including a surprise gift of a
free bus trip to Anchorage for kids registered in holiday Day Camps.
Through the greenhouse, the participants will learn about seeds, plants, responsibility, teamwork
and probably how to handle a little bit of disappointment... gracefully.
Grant funds were deposited in May to the Teen Council Account, 804.8040. The purchase will
be expensed to this account.
