This town is a tiny town of close to 3000 residents... well, to be honest, the town population plaque says 5500, but about 2500 is prison population of the local pentintary. Anywhoo- this tiny town has NOTHING... so a group of local concerned citizens decided to band together and work towards bringing a community event center to our town. They named the still homeless event center after a longtime local teacher who passed away a few years ago- Fern Eberhart.
The group has been doing some amazing events so far, in a sort of nomadic way, jumping from one building to another since May of this year. The one constant fundraising event is a monthly karaoke night for the entire family- alcohol free!! For this town, a family night out in town is almost unheard of- they have to travel at least 30 minutes to the larger town of Mc Minnville, or head to Portland, Salem, or the Coast, which are all at least an hour away. Having a local event center will make a huge difference in this town. And they are still looking for a building that can be turned into a permament home.
Now, fundraising efforts have started to gain momentum, as the word has gotten out about this amazing group. I am helping out by donating a portion of the sales of my candles to them! I have a goal of a minimum $100 by December 1st to give them. You can choose mainly from the four holiday Signature candles:
But you may also choose from any of the other candles available from my website at www.kira.scent-team.com I am donating $3 minimum per candle- the more ordered the more per candle I will donate. :o)
So, help me out to reach my minimum donation of $100 by December 1st. :o)
