Interim General Manager Mike Kennedy (left) presents a $50,000 check to Dave

district’s general fund, with a focus on recruiting underrepresented members of
the community to become volunteers for the fire district. If you’re interested in
volunteering or have questions, please call 541-444-2043.
What to expect when you’re approved for hearing aids through PRC

ship and help with transportation barriers.
We look forward to working with you.
