Community Connection has several new fundraisers to help their after school program Kids Club. What is Kids Club? After kids get out of school, they can head down to Rivera School (or get picked up by the bus) and spend several hours playing games, doing activities, and eating nutritious snacks. Way better than sitting at home killing brain cells with Spongebob if you ask me. The program started several years ago with about 10 children and has since grown to almost 40. And this week I got to sit down with some of the founders and operators of the program and talk to them about why it’s so important.
But kids club needs your help. The program doesn’t run on peanuts and watermelon seeds. So the people at Community Connection have put their heads together and designed several creative fundraising programs to come up with some extra cash. The first is the Kids Club discount card. If you buy one of these bad boys for 10 dollars, you get discounts from over a dozen local businesses in La Grande. Essentially, the card can pay for itself in two or three purchases if you do it right. It’s also a great way of making spending a littl more locally and helping your local businesses.
The second fundraiser is a raffle. The first item being raffled off is an overnight all expense paid stay out at Hot Lake Springs. You get a hotel room, a movie, breakfast, and the soaking is included. All this valued at a measly $225 dollars. The second item is a one-of-a-kind homemade quilt. It’s value is, well, pretty much priceless. And tickets are only 5 bucks a pop.
The third fundraiser is called Ladies Night Out. Want to get together and go shopping!
Well, grab your lady friends and head down to Ladies Night Out, this Friday at 5:30 pm at Riveria Center. There’s going to be local vendors, a silent auction, and the winners of the raffle are going to be announced.
If you’re interested in purchasing a raffle ticket for either of these items or learning more about Kids Club, you can call Community Connection at this number. Or you can visit their website. The link is in the description of this video.

Paul Andres, a La Grande High School teacher, is running for Union County Commissioner. Paul has a history with forestry, agriculture, and education. He’s been a wildland firefighter, a FFA advisor, a teacher, and a sheep shearer. He’s owned businesses, and he’s taught at La Grande High School for over twenty years. And now he’s bringing all that knowledge to bear as he runs for Union County Commissioner. And this week he stopped into the studio to chat about himself and his run for commissioner and here’s some clips from that interview.
The full interview is available on La Grande Alive. Also keep an eye out our all-night Union County Political Candidate live stream on Thursday, April 27.
