Council hears BCF background, goals Former mayor Ray Deeth, and Denise Dethlefs of Bighorn Logging, made a short presen- tation to the Banks City Coun- cil, February 10, explaining the background and goals of the Banks Community Foundation (BCF). In 2001, Banks was identified as one of two eco- nomically distressed cities in Washington County. Grant funding was obtained by the Chamber of Commerce to com- plete both a strategic plan and a downtown development plan. The city also received a grant for a group of citizens to attend the Ford Community Leader- ship Training. That group – which included a wide range of community members, from senior citizens to teens – iden- tified a need for a non-profit or- ganization to work on projects benefiting the economic, social and educational needs of the city. BCF was formed in Decem- ber, 2003, and has applied to the IRS for 501(c)(3), not-for- profit status. The mission of BCF is to increase the livability and bring well-planned eco- nomic growth to Banks. BCF currently meets at the Bighorn Logging office,120 N. Main, on the fourth Thursday of each month, 7:00 – 9:00 pm. Mem- bership is open to anyone who is interested in the future of the community. As part of the leadership training, the Ford Foundation also provides a $10,000 match- ing grant for a community proj- ect. BCF has raised $6,500 of the matching funds and will hold an International Soup Fes- tival, March 16, as a fund rais- er. The project selected, which is a feasibility study for the building of a motion picture film/video sound stage and back lot facility in the Banks area, must be completed by September 2004 under the terms of the grant. BCF is also working on addi- Enjoy breakfast with firefighters Enjoy breakfast with the Banks Volunteer Firefighter As- sociation on Sunday, March 7, in Banks High School Cafeteria.
