Organization Day
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Nov. 25, 2015
Gearing Up For The 2016 Legislative Session
December is one of my favorite months of the year. While I could do without the cold temperatures, there is truly nothing better than time spent with family. For state lawmakers, this time of year also signifies that a new legislative session is right around the corner.
Nov. 17 marked the first official day of session, known as Organization Day. This is largely a day of ceremony and togetherness before the real flurry of activity begins in January. It is not without importance, however.
For instance, every Organization Day, House Speaker Brian C. Bosma designates a specific charity that both House Republicans and Democrats will support and raise awareness for throughout session.
This year’s philanthropy is the Boys and Girls Club of Indiana. Our state has over 100 Boys and Girls Clubs, including several in Evansville and one in Rockport. Statewide, this organization serves 105,000 Hoosier youth each year. Their goal is to ensure that every child has an opportunity to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible members of society.
As a grandfather, it is concerning that any child would be left unsupervised after school or without access to critical summer learning programs. The opportunities that the Boys and Girls Club provides have been life-changing for so many in our state. Together we can make an even greater difference in the lives of our future leaders, and I hope that you will join me in supporting this organization. To learn how you can get involved, please visit www.indianahouserepublicans.com/collect4clubs.
Also on Organization Day, Speaker Bosma outlined several top priorities for the 2016 session, including improving our roads and bridges. Despite making significant investments in recent years, it is estimated that Indiana still needs an additional $1.5 billion in infrastructure funding every year in order to maintain what we have, finish what we have started and plan for the future.
While it is still too early to tell what the solution will be, it is apparent that we must develop a long-term, comprehensive plan that assists local governments and stays true to our commitment to fiscal integrity.
As we tackle this and other key topics, it is important to keep an open line of communication between myself and the community. One excellent way to do this is by filling out my 2016 constituent survey which you should be receiving in the coming weeks. This is something we do at the start of each session to help gauge your opinion on many of the pressing issues facing the Hoosier state.
Indiana has made great strides, but there is always more that can be done. Thank you in advance for your participation, and I look forward to your feedback.
FOOTNOTE: Release submitted to the CCO by Rep. Bacon (R-Chandler) represents portions of Warrick, Pike and Spencer counties.

PEF Delivers Cash Grants To Classrooms
PEF Delivers Cash Grants To Classrooms
Earlier this month, the Board of Directors of the Public Education Foundation of Evansville hand-delivered checks to 14 teachers and administrators in Evansville public schools. These checks are from the agency’s Excellence in Education grant program, this year totaling over $10,000.
“Excellence in Education Grants are funded by hundreds of PEF donors. Our local schools have so many great educators with exciting project ideas,†said PEF Executive Director Amy Walker. “Thanks to our donors, we can reward them.â€Â But not all of them.
Unfortunately, even after eliminating some applications for structural and technical reasons, Walker said, there are still many unfunded. “It is hard to turn down a great teacher with a great project idea due to our lack of funds, but every year we are forced to.â€
PEF’s participatory donation programs such as Thank-A-Teacher/Salute-A-Staffer, and EVSC Payroll Deduction are among ways that grant funds are built.
“The more unrestricted donations we have come in, the more we can move grant funding out our door,†Walker said. “Thank-A-Teacher and Salute-A-Staffer are going on right now in advance of Christmas and New Year.†Information on how to donate can be found on PEF’s website at www.pefevansville.org. See Release: thank a teacher rel, sent 11-24-15.

“Grant funds are also received from PEF’s annual campaign and the Indiana BMV’s Education Affinity License Plate program, which can be directed to the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation. PEF is the recipient of these license plate dollars, which we use to fund grants,†she said.
Shout Out to a few special grantees:
- One education-building grant was for $704 to Plaza Park International Prep Academy. Plaza Park is using this grant to bring Vince Vawter, former editor of the Evansville Courier and Press and the author of Paperboy, to the school to talk with the students about the book and answer questions.
- The high-end for Excellence in Education grants is $1,000. PEF made three such large awards, with one example being $1,000 for Evans School’s Maker’s Space program. A Maker’s Space is an area where children learn, invent, and create. The grant provides the school with money to purchase tools, wind tunnels, and circuits.
- A third grant of 14 provided by PEF was to Highland Elementary School for an elementary performance of “The Wizard of Oz†in the spring of 2016. Students from Central High School’s theatre department will mentor Highland cast members and assist with the preparation of the production. The grant will pay for the royalties, scenery, and costumes.
“Excellence in Education applicants are innovative and enthused educators. PEF is dedicated to helping provide even more funding to them through this annual program,†Walker said. “Their students matter to our future, a great deal.â€
