Astoria student wins Oregon College Savings Plan account
SALEM, Ore. — Fourteen Or-
egon children now have a head
start on saving for college, includ-
ing Vivien Bizzell of Astoria, thanks
to taking part in summer reading.
Their names were randomly drawn
as winners in this year’s superhe-
ro-themed “Save for College, Save
the Day!” summer reading cam-
paign, sponsored by the Ore-
gon College Savings Plan in part-
nership with the Oregon State
Library and Oregon Library Asso-
ciation. The annual campaign is de-
signed to help keep kids’ minds en-
gaged over the summer.
Overall, the Oregon College
Savings Plan awarded $14,906:
each of the 14 winners received a
$529 Oregon College Savings Plan
account, while the libraries where
the winners enrolled received a to-
tal of $7,500. The Astoria Public
Library received $500 on behalf of
Bizzell’s entry.
“Studies show that reading year-
round can increase a child’s aca-
demic performance, and that will
help them to be college ready,” Mi-
chael Parker, executive director of
the Oregon 529 Savings Network,
said.
According to the Oregon State
Library, 206,425 youth from birth
through age 18 signed up for
this year’s summer reading pro-
gram at public libraries through-
out Oregon; collectively, they
read 144,643 books. The read-
ing campaign received 7,339 en-
tries statewide.

egon College Savings Plan, go to

Windermere Foundation’s annual Fall into the Nook Fundraiser was another success. Pictured, from left, Darel Grothaus, Melissa Eddy, Barbara
Maltman, Pam Ackley, Dana Weston, Tina Chapman, Kristen Benton and Ben Small. Chowder was provided by Chef Chris Holen of Baked Alaska
and his students, chicken salad mini-croissants and beer bread were from Sam’s Seaside Cafe, cupcakes were from Simply Cakes by Jae, and
quesadillas came from El Mariachi Loco. The Wine and Beer Haus joined the festivities again, and many local businesses from Cannon Beach,
Seaside, Gearhart and Astoria donated silent auction and raffle items. The goal of the fundraiser is to assist homeless families and children’s or-
ganizations in the community. For information, go to www.facebook.com/WindermereOregonCoast
