The Soroptimist club will provide a $2,000 cash grant to its award recipient, who will then advance to the Soropti- mist Region level, where one recipient will receive $5,000. The program culminates with three ¿ nalist $10,000 awards. Last year the Wallowa Coun- ty recipient received a $3,000 award at the Region level. Recipients can use the Live Your Dream Award to offset costs associated with their efforts to attain higher education or additional skills and training. This includes tuition, books, childcare, carfare or any other educa- tion-related expense. The Live Your Dream Award provides more than $1.6 million in cash grants to head-of-household women in need each year. Since the pro- gram’s inception in 1972, ap- proximately $30 million has helped tens of thousands of women achieve their dreams of a better life for themselves and their families. According to Soroptimist, the program improves the recipients’ quality of life; builds their con¿ dence, strengthens their self-determination and makes them want to, in turn, help others. Helping women in this way has the demonstrat- ed effect of leading to stron- ger communities, nations and the world. Soroptimist International of Wallowa County is a vol- unteer organization for busi- ness and professional women dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls, in local communities and throughout the world. The Wallowa County Soroptimist club was founded in 1947 and is part of Soroptimist International of the Ameri- cas where almost 80,000 So- roptimist members in about 120 countries and territories contribute time and ¿ nancial support to community-based projects that bene¿ t women and girls.

COME PEDAL THE RAILS WITH US! Ralph Mackay Moore Oct. 9, 1955 – Aug. 22, 2015 Ralph Mackay Moore, age 59, died on Aug. 22, 2015 in Walla Walla, Wash., after a short battle with cancer. His wife, Nancy (Strickler) and his sons, Lucas and Taylor were by his side. Ralph was born on Oct. 9, 1955 in La Grande to Ralph E. and Katherine (Flanagan) Moore. He spent his early years living with his mother on the Flanagan family farm in La Grande while his father served overseas in the Army. In 1957, the family relocated to Huntington Park, Calif., where Ralph would spend much of his childhood. Each year, the family would make their way back to the Flanagan Farm and reconnect with his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and many cousins. In 1971, the family returned permanently to La Grande. By then, Ralph was big brother to six and enjoyed many moments with all of his siblings, hiking, hunting, ¿ shing, camping and adventuring all over Eastern Oregon. In 1974, he joined the Army for a four-year tour of duty and during that time on July 5, 1975, he would marry the love of his life, Nancy, in a beautiful garden ceremony on the family farmland that would forever hold his heart. In 1978, Ralph began attending Eastern Oregon State College majoring in the Fine Arts Program. This was a special time in Ralph’s life and the mentorship of Tom Dimond, Ian Gatley, Judd Koehn, and Tom Morandi would launch a life-long commitment to the arts. Throughout Ralph’s professional life, he would remain connected to creating and craftsmanship. He worked as a jeweler, sign designer and painter, as well as a top metal tooler and welder for several bronze foundries in Wallowa County. Throughout college and his adult life, Ralph was awarded many opportunities to put his own creativity to work and in 2002, recreated the “Cast Iron Mary” for Max Square in downtown La Grande. Ralph loved many things about life on this earth — BMW’s, old automobiles, the outdoors, horses, sketching, cupcakes, and Oregon Duck football to name a very few. He will forever be remembered for his extreme artistic ability, strong and liberal political opinions, and his compassion for every living thing on this earth. Above all, Ralph loved, loved, loved his family including his beautiful granddaughter, Taylinn. Ralph was passionate about the care of our country’s war veterans and in lieu of À owers the family has asked that memorial donations be made to the Wounded Warrior Project through the Herring Groseclose Funeral Home, 315 W. Alder, Walla Walla, WA. The family will hold private services in Walla Walla later this month. Family and friends are invited to sign the online guestbook at www.herringgroseclose.com.
