• On Wednesday, October
18, 5:30 to 7 p.m. at City Hall,
the public will hear the results
of the water and wastewater
rate study recently completed
by the FCS Group. 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

Sisters Schools Foundation funds purchase equipment that enhances education.
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.
