Augsburger, along with Steve Beavers and Dixie Pryor, was instrumental in spearheading the drive to bring to the attention of the proper people at the State Capitol in Indianapolis the possibility that Dixie Haven was available for such a project. The state has a tourism grant program for use by non-profit organizations to promote the development of such facilities as

the North Webster beach. “Once the right people from Indianapolis came up here and took a look they were sold on the project,” said Augsburger. Most of the state tourist and recreation areas are located south of Indianapolis. “The Potato Creek facility in Northern Indiana had the largest visitor attendance record, for last year, of any corresponding facility in the state,” commented Augsburger.

HrAsh,/ HLmI ÜBHBj j \ ON THE WAY — Pledges are being taken from residents of North Webster to repay a SIOO,OOO loan from the International Palace of Sports to the North Webster Park Board for the construction of a public beach in town. The park board has received SIOO,OOO from the government and all permits have been approved for the work to begin. Among the numerous pledges is one from Augsburger’s Super-Valu, Syracuse and North Webster. Augsburger’s will be donating $3,000 towards the goal to repay the loan. Shown in front are Eve Payne, clerk-treasurer; and Dixie Pryor, park board president. Standing in back are John Augsburger, president of Augsburger’s Super-Valu; Myron Clark, town board president; and Steve Beavers, International Palace of Sports fund raiser chairman.

Now that state and federal government grants for the project have been obtained it’s up to local citizens to produce matching funds. Donation containers are being placed in local businesses. Clubs, sororities, service organizations, businesses and private individuals are signing three-year pledge cards for amounts ranging from a few dollars, to hundreds or thousands of dollars.

The International Palace of Sports is representing the community as the place where pledges and donations can be made. Any and all support is welcome and tax deductible. “The state gives recreational grants on a priority basis,” said Augsburger. “It seems the North Webster community was thought to be very deserving with its plans for a public beach.” -NW-
