GRANTS COMMITTEE
INFORMATION FOR 2022



 
 
Dear Cal Members,
 
There isn’t any! Seriously, it’s not yet grant season, but Tracy left me with a comprehensive calendar so I’m asking for committee volunteers now.
 
We will have two, long meetings in April and May—a short but intense and important commitment. Specific dates will be set a month after I have a full committee. If you are a returning member, please confirm that fact with me.
 
If you’d like to serve as a new member, please let me know. My email is janharrison@iglide.net or call me at 360-340-2195. In the meantime, we’ve received some lovely thank-you notes from past recipients and can be reviewed in this photo album.
 
In June we had a wonderful Celebration of Giving. Scholarship and Grant recipients were our guests, stories and projects were shared and a fabulous time was had by all. In the event you missed the Celebration, we would like to share with you which organizations received grants and a brief description of how the money will be used. Thank you for making this possible through your donations of time and items.
 
The Sandpoint Reader published an article, which you can access online here. You can access photos of the presentation here.
