Council Member Mattie Thacker and Lydia Jou's Start Something Project was chosen from over 600 entries to win a grant of $2500 from Scholastic Magazine's Be Big in Your Neighborhood contest. Mattie and Lydia Jou have raised over $6000 for the shelter for the working homeless. A film crew interviewed Mattie and showed her interacting with the children from O.H. at Wild River Country. Lydia, 
who is out of the country for the summer, should recieve equal credit for the hard work in raising the money through bake sales and car washes. Their grant pays for summer field trips like the one to Wild River for the children at the shelter.
The video will be featured on the Website for Scholastic Magazine along with 3 other grant winners.
