Dear Members,
 
 
We had a fantastic turnout for the Celebration of Giving. We awarded $150,000 in grants to 40 deserving nonprofit organizations. The grant recipients all gave brief summaries of how they will use the grant funds, and a bit about their organizations. It was really rewarding to note that the grants covered such diverse programs in Bonner County. They ranged from healthcare to environmental conservation to education and more.
 
The list of Grantees are:
 
Angels Over Sandpoint, Arts Alliance (Creations), Bonner Historical Society, Bonner County Food Bank, Bonner General Hospital, Bonner Partners in Care, Bonner Soil & Water Conservation District, Carousel of Smiles, Clark Fork-Hope Area Seniors, Community Resource EnVision Center, Dover Historical Committee, Festival at Sandpoint, Food for Our Children, Helping Hands/Healing Hearts, Homeschool Academy Program Idaho Hill Elementary, KRFY Panhandle Community Radio, Mighty Monarch Conservation, Music Conservatory of Sandpoint, NAMI Far North Idaho, North Idaho Firewood Rescue, North Idaho High School Aerospace, Northside Elementary, One Change Group, Panida Theater, POAC Kaleidoscope, POAC Ovations, Ponderay Police Department, Sandpoint Area Seniors, Sandpoint Middle School, Sandpoint Nordic Club, Sandpoint Soccer, Sandpoint Teen Center, Selkirk Conservation Alliance, Selkirk Outdoor Leadership & Education, Southside Elementary, Spacepoint, UCAN & YMCA
 
 
 
 
This help to the community is what makes our work at Bizarre Bazaar so important. I am honored to be a part of it.
