artists to bring people to
enjoy Downtown Cave
Junction and support our
area businesses. Aspiring
young artists were sup-
ported by the Through the
Children’s Eyes project
and created two murals
one showcased at the
Caves Open House, the
other at the River Celebra-
tion.
Infrastructure also got
a boost. I.V. Family Coali-
tion received help to install
parking lights at the I.V.
Family Resource Center
and Friends of the I.V. Air-
port used its grant to help
construct a trail to the bo-
tanical area, construct an
information kiosk, and in-
stall nine tie-downs to se-
cure visiting planes.
The swimming pool -
now owned by the city,
will benefit from the grant
made to the Boys and Girls
Club to sponsor children to
attend its annual end of
summer party.
Educational events
were supported in several
ways. Siskiyou Field Insti-
tute used its grant to pro-
vide scholarships for local
people its annual work-
shops, and the Family Re-
source Center will provide
computer training for 10 to
15 people.
I.V. CRT salutes these
organizations and the good
work they are doing for the
valley.
Oregon Caves Outfit-
ters - With more than
$156,000 in combined
sales in July -- the best
month ever -- the conces-
sion is having a successful
summer. The targeted 30
percent growth in sales
over last summer looks
like it will be met and even
surpassed. With reserva-
tions up and the daily visi-
tation high, August is look-
ing like it will be another
good month.
Board Nominees -
Nominees are still being
sought to join the board to
replace vacancies. The se-
lection will be at the next
workshop on Thursday,
Aug. 21.
In this critical transi-
tion period, IVCRT needs
well-skilled, experienced
directors to help plot a vi-
sion and action plan for the
future.
