BCYAC Pool Pals Program

The Bates County Youth Advocacy Council will by sponsoring the Pool Pals Program this summer. The program is in its 10^th year and provides pool passes to children who either cannot afford to swim or have special needs or considerations.

Last year, we were able to buy season passes for 91 children! The program is successful due to the generosity of businesses, organizations, and the people of Bates County. B.C.Y.A.C. serves as a link by gathering donations for the pool passes and then providing them to children in the community. A list of children is compiled and then given to the B.C.Y.A.C. and the council works its way down the list as money comes in. We trust the groups that give us the names of these children. These groups know the children and know their needs.

If you are interested in sponsoring a child, the cost is listed below:

Individual Pass 7 and under $30

Individual Pass 8 and older $70

Family of Two $140

Family of Three $180

Family of Four $220

Family of Five $260

We will take any amount…whether you can donate $5 or want to sponsor an entire family. We work it out by combining donations or buying family passes…..whichever way we can, to insure that many children will benefit.

If you are interested in donating money to the Pool Pals Program, you can mail your donation to :

B.C.Y.A.C.

PO Box 466

Butler, MO 64730

Thank you for supporting our youth!

Weather Update: More storms this evening

Round 2 of Thunderstorms rolling in tonight. Here is the latest thoughts on timing. Generally, they will be moving in around midnight, and moving out by sunrise. Expect some small hail, gusty winds, and maybe up to an inch or so of rain.

Weather Update: Stormy Saturday Night

Here is the expected timing of the T-storms Saturday night and Sunday. The first round will come in early Sunday morning, then maybe a lull before another round of T-storms on Sunday evening and Sunday night.

Most of these storms will be sub-severe, but a few could be strong to severe, with small hail and gusty winds being the most likely hazards.
