Thank you from Kah-Nee-Ta for youth sales project
Kah-Nee-Ta Resort and
Spa hosted a youth sale
event, Sept. 1, at the Warm
Springs campus.
The sale offered youth an
opportunity to raise their
own funds to help achieve
a financial goal before the
school year began.
More than 20 youth set
up as vendors, and each had
something different to of-
fer—from artwork and
crafts to food, clothing, skill
services more.
We would like to thank
all the community members
for stopping by and show-
ing their support.
For such a great turn out,
and as beneficial as this was
for the youth, we are hop-
ing to make this an annual
event.
A big thank you to Warm
Springs Utilities, the Mu-
seum at Warm Springs, the
Warm Springs Community
Action Team, and most im-
portantly all of the youth
who helped make this event
a success!
