First annual Resource Sharing Meeting

FROM DOREEN KELLY:

Hello Community Partners!

We are holding our first annual Resource Sharing Meeting for the Silverton Area on January 29th. We will be meeting from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm, in the Council Chambers of the Community Center.

The purpose of the meeting is to find possible partnerships between groups to enhance resources. Over the years we have seen some great collaborations, such as local churches using their buses to help with Homer Davenport Days visitors, Las Aguilas high school students helping wrap presents for the Zenith Women’s Tree of Giving, Silverton Elks Lodge donating used cell phones to the high school tech club who convert the phones to be used by victims at the Women’s Crisis Center, Kiwanis Club serving food at the Community Picnic, various businesses donating prizes to school auctions, etc. The list is enormous! Yet, we are often contacted to see if we can find some additional assistance for various causes.

You received this e-mail because you belong to one of the following groups:
· Church club
· Social or fraternal club
· School or PTO, PFC, or PTA
· Non-profit or agency providing services in this area.
· Business active in supporting community events.

We will be sending out a form next week that requests some simple information from your group. We will be compiling that information and sending it out to you prior to the meeting. Information we are seeking includes what needs your group has and if there are any resources you can share. Examples include volunteers for events, locations for meetings, donations of goods, buyers for sales or tickets, etc.

Silverton is a great community, thanks to the efforts from all of you!

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you!
