Wednesday, August 24, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Grant enhances scholarship impact Sisters GRO (Graduate Resource Organization) has been granted a $5,000 match- ing grant opportunity. In addi- tion, Sisters GRO is looking for two new board members to build a program that will last a lifetime within Sisters. The Roundhouse Foundation has provided to Sisters GRO a $5,000 match- ing grant to support the ASPIRE program at the high school. The ASPIRE resource is a 1:1 program designed to help students (and parents) navigate the post-high-school path and education decisions. Students are matched with volunteer mentors from the community starting in the junior year. The matching grant opportunity will go a long way to help support the ASPIRE program. Contact Karen Hensley, info@ sistersgro.com, if you can pro- vide any contribution (small or large) to help us match the generous Roundhouse grant opportunity.

CLARIFICATIoN City Recorder Kathy Nelson clarified that prospec- tive candidates for Sisters City Council do not have to have their applications to her by August 16 – that is a “soft date to make sure they have enough time to get the signatures required, get them 9 certified by the County Clerk and get all the paperwork back to me by August 30 prior to 5 p.m.” Nelson said, “Someone can wait until the morn- ing of the 30th to start the paperwork if they want, but they would likely run out of time to complete the process.” www.NuggetNews.com
