A fund raising barbecue put on
by employees of the Bank of
Eastern Oregon, earned money
for a good cause recently.
A barbecue was held in front
of the bank to raise money for
the Heppner Day Care. Over
$627 was raised. Last Monday
a check for that amount was
presented to the day care.
The money will be used
toward an effort to purchase the
day care building.
The money will pay for the
closing costs associated with
the purchase, which is expected
to be finalized in the middle of
November, said Kim Cutsforth,
president of the Day Care board
of Directors.
"We're working on
purchasing the Day Care
building from the Cleveland
trust,” Cutsforth said. "These
fund raising events have placed
the Day Care within reach.” A
letter writing campaign had also
brought in around $1,900.
Cutsforth added that for the
first time in five years the day
care is full with a waiting list.
"A full preschool has proven
once again how necessary this
program is in our community,"
Cutsforth said.
The Day Care operates
Monday through Friday 6:30
a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
