INVESTING IN THE ARTS Madelyn Camrud Community interest in visual arts has currently spread like a fever in our city. Since my involvement in the 1960s when the newly formed Grand Forks Art Association had its first show in what is now Grand Cities mall, galleries have sprung up downtown. There is an Art and Wine Walk, the summer art sale in the town square, and a benefit show, TAG, that brings in hundreds of buyers. This visual art excitement has likely been fueled by our North Dakota Museum of Art, a mentor for the community since 1989. Free and educational for visitors to see and learn from the finest contemporary art, our world-class Museum hosts silent and live art auctions for the community as well.

How far we have come!

I love all the arts, but music was my first love.

A small child I pedaled the player piano to please my ears until I began lessons and learned the work of

wonderful composers like Rachmaninoff and

Grieg. Mid-life I turned to poetry, the language of sound, rhythm and rhyme which is my pleasure today. When my husband died, Oddly Beautiful, a book of poems, expressed my loss at his passing. The poems were cathartic for me but I wanted something more, something that would penetrate deeper. I found it in our Greater Grand Forks Symphony--the musical stronghold in our community. Concert music helped me in ways nothing else could as I sat quietly in

the audience absorbing sounds that allowed me

to lose myself in new landscapes.

Anne Porter, in her poem titled Music, says, “music at its most beautiful� opens a kind of homesickness in us: We dimly remember the fields/ Their fragrant windswept clover/The bird songs in the orchards/The wild white violets in the moss/By the transparent streams. Listening to the great composers, I was transported to those musical fields and meadows, a beauty elusive, yet satisfying. Other times, thunderous storm CONTINUED ON PAGE 16

2014 COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT

A SONG IN MY HEART – FOOD FOR MY SOUL Joan Johnson A love of humanity, a sense of caring and a willingness to serve are rooted in my rural up-bringing, where a sense of community permeated daily life.

We depended on each other for all community tasks, such a maintaining the school and church, as well as helping each other with planting and harvest when needed.

– a perfect medium for teaching young people how to get involved.

The love of “the arts” was a seed planted in this modest, rural upbringing, identified in the experiences of school and community. At our two room country school, we received choral music instruction and competed in festivals, memorized the poems of Longfellow, Kilmer and Frost, learned music history and appreciation and were required to engage in all forms of creativity. Without realizing it, I was also learning gardening and an appreciation for the

“beauty of the earth” instilled by my parents, the art of cooking and creating an attractive plate through many years of 4-H club. Garden bounty resulted in the artful preservation of food, as we canned and froze vegetables and fruits for enjoyment at a later date. The rhythm of the seasons, the rhythms of the poems and the music provide a cadence to my step as I walked to and from school- humming a tune or reciting a poem.

Sown seeds grow where they are planted and Grand Forks was a perfect medium for our young family, when we were moved here in 1972. I chose to become involved in the community, as I knew that this would only enhance our lives and the lives of our children, as

I had so aptly learned.

Community opportunities were abundant in the likes of United Way, Girl and Boy Scouts, 4-H club, Picture Lady Program at Roosevelt School, Calvary Lutheran Church, Grand Forks Realtors, Forx Builders, Housing Authority, Downtown Beautifica-

tion and many more.

Our family of three children, included a special needs daughter Aryca, who in spite of her many medical challengessharing her contagious smile and love with all.

Following her death in 2008, we chose to follow her lead with a continuation of “heartwork” in the community she CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

MEET OUR DONORS Dorette Kerian

Dorette Kerian is a UND retiree, a former city council representative, and a mother of two adult children. She is also a donor to the Community Foundation.

Born and raised in the Grand Forks area, Dorette lived “63 years within 30 miles of Grand Forks.” Although she didn’t grow up in Grand Forks itself, she remembers frequent visits. Her family came to Grand Forks to shop, attend performances, and participate in high school competitions. When it came time for college, it seemed natural to enroll at UND. By the time those college years were over, Dorette had received two Bachelor of Arts degrees and a Master of Arts degree, all from UND. Dorette began her career working with people in need of social and vocational support services through county and state governments, and later at UND. After completing a degree in Computer Science, she

moved into computing at the University, rising over time to become UND’s Director of Information Technology, a position from which she lead advances in computing and networking use at UND and NDUS. Dorette’s studies at UND--and the career that resulted--led her to a challenging and rewarding professional life.

At the same time as she was pursuing her career, Dorette was building a record of involvement in the Grand Forks community. In addition to serving in various civic organizations, Dorette ran for and was elected to a seat on the Grand Forks City Council.

That role gave her a platform for making a long-term, positive difference in the city she called home. Her civic roles provided a counterpoint to her professional responsibilities, and they were clear evidence of her deep and growing commit-

ment to the community and people of Grand Forks.

Now retired, Dorette Kerian has settled in Minneapolis, but much of her heart (as well as her history) remains in Grand Forks. Because of that connection, she created an estate plan built around a desire to provide on-going support to organizations she values through a gift to the Community Foundation.

The largest part of her assets is organized into two funds, both of which are designed to provide Dorette with income during her retirement. Her children, now well-established in their own lives, are to be beneficiaries of
