DANIELSON — The Killingly Youth Wrestling Club (KYWC) sent five wrestlers to compete in the Bantam and Mighty Might State Championship Wrestling Tournament in Bristol this past weekend, and all four of the Club’s Mighty Might competitors came home with trophies. There were approximately 200 wrestlers competing in eight-man brackets at the tournament. Killingly Youth Wrestling’s Ian Brais and Hayden Ferland placed second, and Ian Cathell and Brady Zadora both placed third. This was the first state competition for all four. “The success we experienced at this year’s ‘Bantam and Mighty Might State Competition’ is very rewarding,” said Cale Ferland, KYWC coach and club president. “Our kids faced some tough competition, but they were able to step up to the challenge and succeed.

TLGV will reimburse organizations up to $500 for expenses like publicity, cleanup supplies such as trash bags and work gloves, and food for volunteers. TLGV will also help publicize the event and work with each organization to recruit more vol- unteers. Interested organizations should submit a letter to TLGV, on their organization’s let- terhead, at least six weeks before the pro- posed event. The letter should: include basic details about the cleanup – what, when, where, and who – plus contact information, including an email address; explain what you hope to accomplish and how you will use TLGV funds; let TLGV know who will be picking up and disposing of the trash (TLGV can’t cover that cost); describe how youth – the future stewards of The Last Green Valley – will be involved in the cleanup; and include a plan for publicizing not just the event, but the results. Nonprofit organizations should also submit a copy of their 501(c) designation letter from the IRS. TLGV reserves the right to approve or deny funds based upon the likelihood of project success and the availability of funds. Decisions will be made within two weeks of project submission. Funded orga- nizations will be asked to sign a short agree- ment and then get to work! Results will be compiled on the TLGV “Trash Tracker” form, because together, we can show impressive results throughout The Last Green Valley.
