__Problem Statement:__
__ Problem Statement __ __ Vision __ Recreational sports give kids a chance to excel in athletic activities, build strong friendships, and give them the skills they need to excel in life. __ Issue Statement __ In North Kingstown, because of the absence of recreational centers, kids have become more socially isolated with the low number of kids participating in sports. Recreational centers would help solve many problems including childhood obesity, lack of social skills, and also provide a healthier lifestyle. __ Method __ We will have an event where kids and their families can come and have fun playing sports, eating, and social activities. We will have the media cover our event and hope to get the word out. We will also have a newspaper show up and write and article about our event. We hope that this event will show the Town Council that if there were a recreational center many kids would show up and play. In addition to this we will ask the town to give us a grant to pay for the construction of the center. Also we will have to buy the land and we will use a fundraiser to do so.

__Public Service Announcement:__
