Center for Nonprofit Stewardship receives grant from Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation for nonprofit workshops in Klamath County

The Center for Nonprofit Stewardship (CNS) has been awarded a $4,000 grant from Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation (CCUIF) to build stronger nonprofits in Klamath County with training workshops, advice, and other support.

CNS’s Nonprofit Learning Series in Klamath Falls will include three half-day workshops held every other month from July to November. Each half-day workshop will consist of three hours of curriculum on board governance, fundraising, or finance and budgeting. The workshops will include speakers from CNS’s expert staff as well as other practitioners and resource providers.

Attendees will have the option of purchasing a three-workshop pass for $99 or a one-workshop ticket for $45. CNS is able to offer these defrayed rates thanks to funders like the Cow Creek Umpqua Indian Foundation.

CNS attended an awards ceremony held in Canyonville, Oregon on January 14, 2020 to receive the grant. CCUIF awarded a total of $474,650 to seventy charities in Southwestern Oregon during this funding cycle.

Foundation Executive Director Carma Mornarich said “with its emphasis upon meeting the basic needs of people, strengthening family, and assuring educational opportunity the CCUIF, one grant at a time, improves life in southwestern Oregon and beyond.”

Mornarich said the mission of the foundation is to offer assistance in youth education, strengthen youth and family, provide for positive youth development, and add to the quality of live for people in the region.

2019 Wreaths Across America Ceremony

/in /by

Please join us at Dorris City Hall on December 14th at 10 am for the 2nd Annual Wreaths Across America Ceremony.

We will be honoring and remembering the veterans that are laid to rest in Lakeview Cemetery in Macdoel, CA. We have a full program with the honor guard, special readings, slideshow, and light refreshments afterwards. It is a moving remembrance of the not only the veterans that are resting within the confines of Lakeview Cemetery, but a tribute to the sacrifice veterans from all over our nation have made in order to protect our freedoms and liberties! We are a site location of the national organization of Wreaths Across America. We are very honored to be able to carry out the laying of Christmas wreaths at our local cemetery just like they do in Arlington National Cemetery every December! We understand we have Veterans Day in the fall and Memorial Day in the spring, but our service members sacrifice their time and safety every single day of the year to preserve our freedoms.

In many homes, there is an empty seat for one who is serving or one who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. There is no better time to express our appreciation than during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

News Group will help would-be editor/publisher start Tulelake, Malin, Merrill local newspaper

/in /by

Continental Features/Continental News Service, just as we have done in Dorris, CA, is ready to help a would-be editor/publisher to start a local newspaper, either print or on-line, in Tulelake, Merrill, Malin, or, if there is a market for it, in Bonanza.

We can provide cartoons, comic strips, crossword puzzles, some of which are free of charge. You report school, sports and other city news; you sell local advertising; and you can easily expand your newspaper by 26 pages through inclusion of CF/CNS’ monthly general-interest magazine, Continental Newstime, or the Country Neighbor Edition, for those of your subscribers who order it. [The digest-size edition is $4.25 per month, while the large-print or tabloid-size edition is just another 25 cents more.] That is the same arrangement we have in Dorris, CA, where the general-interest newsmagazine is the newspaper insert.

You can also write us at: Continental Features/Continental News Service, Pacific Northwest
Office, P.O. Box 546, Dorris, CA 96023. On the Internet, you can find us at http://continentalnewsservice.com … Thank you.

Bonanza Community Center Feasibility Study

/in /by

For decades the Bonanza community has entertained the idea of having their own community center.  Bonanza Cares believes the time is right to begin discussions again.  They believe the community would greatly benefit from a center focused on youth, seniors and community projects.  Bonanza Cares applied for, and received, a grant from The Ford Family Foundation to conduct a feasibility study.  This grant has allowed Bonanza Cares to hire a consultant to help determine if the time is right.  Part of the study includes a community survey, which is being mailed to 1248 households in the greater Bonanza and Dairy areas.  Everyone over the age of 13 is encouraged to fill out a separate survey.  Because those living in Beatty and Bly will likely use a community center in Bonanza, they are encouraged to pick up surveys at the Bonanza General Store, Soup to Nuts, or the Big Springs Market and fill them out; or complete the survey online.  All of the instructions are included in the survey.  There is a separate survey for businesses and organizations.  The deadline to submit all surveys is August 25th.

 

Beginning in September, Community Confluence Consulting will be meeting with various Businesses, groups, agencies, and organizations to discuss the idea of a center in Bonanza; gauging their interest in using the facility and their potential support.  All of the information gathered, in addition to the survey results, will be compiled into a report and presented to the community during the Bonanza Cares Annual Open House in January 2020.

 

Being able to operate a community center year after year is a great concern.  The Bonanza Cares board of directors has toured four community centers in Southern Oregon to learn what features they offer their communities and how they are able to continue operations.  So far they have learned that there are amenities, events, and grants that could bring in a sizable income; but ultimately, if the community wants a center, they will need to support it.  Support could be through donations, annual membership fees, programs, costs for services, or volunteering.  A community center will belong to the community and with that comes some responsibility.  This study will allow Bonanza Cares to hear straight from the people and decide whether or not the community wants to move forward.
