Job Fair
from 1A
The Career and Job Fair
team is made up of Walker and
Jolley, as well as district
Superintendent Ethel Angal,
Siuslaw High School Principal
Kerri Tatum and high school
counselor Steve Moser.
“The school was 100 per-
cent behind it from the begin-
ning,” Jolley said. “In fact, the
school has thought about it and
wanted to do it in the past, but
had no one to organize the
event.”
“The school district will
even have a table set up where
they can talk about careers in
education as well as other job
opportunities within the
school district,” Walker said.
District
Superintendent
Ethel Angal said she is grateful
to the volunteers who have
“worked for months to make
this opportunity a reality. We
hope that it will inspire our

the investigation was ongoing.
“Last week we did receive
11 A
youth to reach for success in
school, post-high school train-
ing, and jobs.”
Walker’s experience in the
hospitality and hotel industry
has provided years of conven-
tion experience that she has
applied to the event.
Jolley’s career in retail has
given her first-hand experi-
ence in how to rise up through
the ranks in a corporation.
According to Jolley, several
local sponsors are helping pay
for banners, furniture rentals
and printed materials.
“It is important for the pre-
senters to have a good feeling
about this being worthwhile,”
she said.

Grants
from 1A
“It works because when you
give to one of the cultural non-
profits that you love and make
a matching gift to the trust, you
get the gift of the trust back on
your taxes. It’s a wonderful
way to incentivize giving to
cultural nonprofits,” Schreiner
said.
Money in the trust goes
toward arts and culture grants,
McBroom-Redwine, executive
director of Florence Habitat.
“There’s nothing like seeing a
house going up, the smiles of
the family purchasing the home
and the pride of the volunteers
building it.”
Florence Habitat has been in
existence since 1999, and has
completed 26 Habitat homes
with the support of the
Florence area community. For
more information, call Habitat
at 541-902-9227.
agency partners such as Oregon
Arts Commission and Oregon
Heritage and local cultural
coalitions, such as the ones for
Lane and Douglas counties.
At the “meet the funders”
event, attendees were able to
meet in small groups with four
representatives from funding
agencies.
“What we’re going to do
today is most akin to speed dat-
ing,” Schreiner said. “We’re
going to show ourselves off up
here, and you get to talk about
things that you want to talk
about: what you want to learn
about our grant programs and
who we are and what we do.”
Kuri Gill is with Oregon
Heritage, a part of Oregon
Parks
and
Recreation
Department that includes the
Oregon
State
Historic
Preservation Office and the
Oregon Heritage Commission.
“We provide technical assis-
tance and grant support for all
things heritage: historic build-
ings, museums, archives, gen-
eral heritage projects like
research and that kind of thing.
It’s a pretty broad swath of
projects,” she said.
After speaking with individ-
uals in the small groups, Gill
was able to suggest certain
grants Oregon Heritage could
fund, such as grants for historic
cemeteries, “diamonds in the
rough” or historic buildings in
need of restoration, war memo-
rials, museums and even
Oregon Main Street programs.
She also encouraged inter-
ested groups to look into tourist
grants available through Travel
Oregon.
“You have a lot of great peo-
ple doing awesome stuff in
your community. That’s really
cool to see,” Gill said after
hearing about local arts projects
in the works.
Brian Wagner, with Oregon
Arts Commission, talked about
grants for both individual
artists and organizations.
For artists in the visual arts,
music, literature and the per-
forming arts, he recommended
career opportunity grants for
artists in the early to middle
stages of their careers.
Fellowships are also available
for more established artists.
He said that most of the com-
mission’s organizational grants
go to nonprofits.
“The
Arts
Build
Communities Grant is probably
the most broadly used,”
Wagner said. “It’s the grant that
is helping Florence Events
Center’s Dancing With Sea
Lions program.”
He added that the commis-
sion works with the governor’s
Regional Solutions to address
local needs.
Meg Spencer, a representa-
tive of Lane County Cultural
Coalition, also gave advice
about regional opportunities.
She encouraged people from
libraries, arts organizations,
museums, cultural centers, his-
torical societies, arts alliances,
literary groups and heritage
organizations to pursue these
grants and more.
Schreiner said that Oregon
Cultural Trust is “Oregonians
doing it for Oregonians.”
“I used to work for various
cultural nonprofits, and often
applied for this grant and pro-
gram. I really loved the trust
then, and I love it now because
it’s truly an interdisciplinary
approach to looking at culture.
It’s not any one particular field,
it’s for all the different types of
culture that takes place in
Oregon,” she said.

cultural grants, go online to
