The Rock Creek/Westbridge Fire Needs Committee is continuing to meet and is working to identify and address the needs it can be of assistance with. In the fall, the committee used the start of its fund to build a number of outbuildings for those in the fire zone (some of which will be completed in the spring). We have also continued to collaborate with the Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, and other organizations offering help within our community. Spring is coming, and so it is important to us that we are aware of individual and community needs, so we can steer our help towards the biggest needs. As we work to determine the best use of these donated funds, we recognize that spring brings opportunity to move forward, so we are working to move funds into the hands of individuals and families most affected by the fire. There has been approximately $118,000 donated so far. We will be closing the account as of March 31, 2016 in order to complete the allocation of funds raised. Anything received following that date will be forwarded to the Kettle River Lions Club for dispersal. If you have any questions, comments, or would like to draw our attention to a particular need, please contact us through Vicki Gee at 250-446-2042. To donate you can either drop by the Greenwood Branch of the Heritage Credit Union or
A lunch experience
A group of Greenwood Elementary school students paid a visit to the Bored Room Bistro recently for a working field trip. Students enjoyed a brief, yet educational introduction to the culinary arts, with restaurant owners R.J. and Tom Lesher taking them through food preparation, order-taking and serving.
