Attendees will be welcomed by City Manager Brant Kucera and be able to ask questions of the professionals who conducted the study. The question of rate changes is a can that has been kicked down the road by numerous city councils, and it was time to conduct a for- mal study to determine if the rates are fair and equitable for all consumers — residential and commercial — and if the rates charged are adequately covering the cost of provid- ing water and sewer services to the city. • The inaugural 60+ Senior Health Fair will be held at Sisters Park & Recreation District on Friday, October 20, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Presented by SPRD, Sisters- Camp Sherman RFPD, and Central Oregon Council on Aging, the fair will include many local service providers offering a wide variety of ser- vices free of charge.

Foundation launches giving campaign The Sisters Schools Foundation has launched its annual giving campaign. Since 1997, Sisters Schools Foundation (SSF) has supported the Sisters School District through direct donations to teachers and staff from monies raised from Starry Nights concerts, pri- vate donations, and partner- ships with local community foundations. A few of the programs past donations have sup- ported include: smart boards; Chromebooks; educational field trips; musical instru- ments; vocational equipment; art materials and equipment. Foundation funds are ded- icated to purchases of equip- ment and funding activities; they are not used to fund sala- ries or positions. The Foundation is currently seeking support through its annual giving campaign. Donations may be made to the Sisters Schools Foundation general fund or targeted to specific programs, teachers, or schools; 100 per- cent of donated dollars go to the classroom, benefitting students. The goal this year is to raise $50,000. To donate visit: http:// ssd6.org/ssf/.
