Community Building Meeting
The community building commitee met at the Senior Citizen Building on April 17, 2008. Discussions were as follows:
Received update on survey which is needed to help us with questions on wants and needs of a Community Center by the community. The cost of the survey was more than anticipated and funds are not available at this time.
Gym - Group met with Upriver School principal and attended school board meeting to discuss needs of a new Gym at Upriver. School is supportive of whatever the community can do to build a gym but mentioned they do not have funds and have other lists of priorities for school needs at this time.
Discussed touring other Community Centers and Gyms to get ideas and suggestions. We will get in touch with Deary, Troy, Bovill, Nez Pierce, and Orofino Community Centers and Gym and Nazarene Church Gym to see if we can arrange tours.
We have had many discussions regarding the need of fixing up the current CAF Building in Fernwood. The inside and outside of the building needs a face list so it will be more efficient and useful for community use. With summer just around the corner we hope to join in an agreement with the county so this can be done.
Recipes for the Upriver Recipe Book need to be sent in by May 1st if possible. They can be emailed directly or dropped off at the Fernwood Library .
Community Clean up date is April 26th. Lets all help clean up our community.
Next meeting date is May 16th at the Emida Community Center at 6:00 p.m.
