other disenfranchised individuals such as those who have been chronically unemployed or under employed. While primarily engaging

the community. Our inaugural season began in June, 2009. The Hamilton Joe's Baseball Club has been organized to provide
area college baseball athletes and interns the opportunity to advance their careers and at the same time, provide our local
community with quality, entertaining and affordable baseball.
Middletown Fastpitch League/Blue
Sox - $10,000 - The Middletown Fastpitch League "Blue Sox" is organized exclusively for charitable
and educational purposes, with a focus toward instructing girls 6-19 years old in the game, promoting fitness and preparing
them to compete at the next level in high school and college. Our goal is to promote physical education and sportsmanship,

- Stillwater Stables believes that children and teens need good mentors and a positive place to
belong. They also want to reach at-risk youth, and are beginning a collaboration with the Clinton County Prosecutor's office
and Clinton County Family and Children First Council to bring these children and teens into the program. But they also believe
that all children need strong mentors, and as one local psychologist recently said in reference to the program, "All
youth are likely to be at risk for something physically, emotional, behavioral or spiritually." Stillwater Stables is
dedicated to giving children and teens the chance to build relationships, be equipped with leadership skills and the opportunity
to discover their purpose in life regardless of their income level or background through working with horses.
