ENTERPRISE — The
Northeast Oregon Eco-
nomic Development Dis-
trict is off ering up to 20
hours of free help to cities,
counties and nonprofi ts in
Baker, Union and Wallowa
counties.
The
free
services
include project and orga-
nizational development,
grant prospecting, grant
writing and project admin-
istration services.
The services are pos-
sible due to funding from
the Oregon Legislature
and an Oregon foundation,
according to a press release
from NEOEDD.
NEOEDD will provide
services based on avail-
able staff time, an organi-
zation’s readiness to pro-
ceed, and the timing of
grant deadlines.
“Our goal is to assist as
many organizations as pos-
sible; however, our funding
is limited, so we may not
be able to serve every eligi-
ble organization,” said Lisa

Dawson, NEOEDD execu-
tive director.
The money from the
Oregon Legislature sup-
ports services to cities with
populations under 2,500,
counties with populations
under 15,000, and special
districts in these cities and
counties. NEOEDD will
use the same criteria to pri-
oritize the free services.
Cities, counties and
nonprofi ts can submit a
request for services online
at https://bit.ly/3R6nIZy.
“We may also refer orga-
nizations to Sequoia Con-
sulting for help to identify
appropriate grant sources
for a project or to prepare
an organization to apply for
and successfully manage a
grant,” Dawson said.

JOSEPH — Being a
banker isn’t all fi guring inter-
est rates, taking deposits and
other money-related mat-
ters. On Tuesday, Aug. 23,
Deena Perin was dishing
out hot dogs and hamburg-
ers in the Community Bank
parking lot in Joseph in her
fi rst community appreciation
barbecue as manager of the
Joseph branch.
“We are having our cus-
tomer appreciation back,”
she said as she was dishing
up the fi nal meal. “It’s been
off for two years and we’re
bringing it back.”
Perin said the annual
event had to be skipped
for the past couple of years
because of the COVID-19
pandemic.
But this year, the bank
handed out 300 to 400 free
hamburgers and hot dogs
during the event, she said.
There also were prizes, both
for adults and kids. The
theme of the prizes this year
related to camping. There
were Dutch ovens and cook-

water bottles and water guns

While the annual bar-
becue is usually in August,
Community Bank also holds
a “shred day” in June to take
care of unwanted documents
in the wake of the tax-fi ling
deadline.
Family ties
Perin said her family has
deep roots in the Joseph
area. Her grandfather, Anah
Jennings, was town sheriff
of Joseph in the 1950s.
She has spent most of her
banking career in the area.
“I started here (in) 1986,”
she said, and has been in the
area “off and on” since then.
She also worked at a
La Grande branch of the
bank for seven years doing
mortgages.
In all, Perin has worked
her way up.
“This was my fi rst job
and I’ve learned all the
aspects of it. We have a
great team,” she said. “I’ve
been doing all sections of
the bank. My latest position
is branch manager.”

One of the “family”
