LA PINE RODEO THE plied sr Oars SERE Candy Yow President Melvin Emert Vice President Lori Thomas Secretary Desiree Russell Treasurer Directors Mark Cuelho Doby Fugate Zach Holotta Phat Matt Greg Riddle Mike Stream January 30, 2014 La Pine Rodeo Association "The Greatest Little Rodeo in Oregon" EIN #54-2125846 Item #1, page 1 The La Pine Rodeo Association was formed by a volunteer group in 2002, which soon formed a board of directors, became a non-profit organization and drew up by-laws, conflict of interest policy, budgets and committed themselves entirely to bringing awareness to La Pine and the greater South County Region in the form of the great American and Western tradition of a sanctioned rodeo. The rodeo has been in existence for the last eight years as a sanctioned rodeo following in the footsteps of Sisters Rodeo. This was the plan and dream of this group of volunteers. Sisters has taken years to achieve its goal as a PRCA sanctioned, nationally recognized and nationally sponsored event to Central Oregon. La Pine Rodeo has dubbed itself, "The Greatest Little Rodeo in Oregon", and we are fast becoming just that. We are surprisingly just a step below Sisters already in that we are and have been sanctioned by a Professional Cowboy Association for the last seven years, the NPRA, and this was not an easy feat. The rodeo board has a mission and that is to get enough land to bring year-round equestrian events for the entire community. The horse clubs, the high school rodeo, and the individual events related to rodeo would have this available for all activities related to these things, year round! (Please see attached Mission Statement.) The rodeo is growing and becoming the place to be over the July 4th weekend in Southern Deschutes County. We have a brand new board of directors and officers mentioned in the left hand column of this letter who are very talented and committed to working together to put on an even bigger and better rodeo for our community. They are all volunteers and have a great vision for the future of the La Pine Rodeo and are very excited to help make La Pine the place to be for the 4th of July weekend. We would appreciate your time and help in our quest. Thank you, The La Pine Rodeo Board, Members and Volunteers P.O.

High school rodeo was created to give school students the opportunity to participate and compete in this unique and challenging sport. Our local student athletes are not only members of the "Tri -County High School Rodeo Club" but also member of the "Oregon High School Rodeo Association" and the "National High School Rodeo Association". The OHSRA involves over 300 students and their families who live throughout the state. We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to the development of sportsmanship, horsemanship and character in the youth of our communities. We stress the importance of education by requiring high academic standards in order to compete and help teach life skills such as leadership, responsibility, dedication and commitment. We are an independent student athletic association without assistance from tax dollars. With the support from their families, this local club and our communities help these athletes gain the resources to participate in this great sport. The Club is dedicated to promoting and maintaining an enthusiastic interest in the sport of high school rodeo and promoting the highest type of moral conduct and sportsmanship among it's aspiring cowboy and cowgirl athletes. 2. Every year the students produce and promote their annual high school rodeo held in May. The expenses incurred by the club are covered only with the assistance from Deschutes County, volunteers, contributions and business & personal support.

We will begin organizing other funding for our production of this rodeo in January and February. 4. The Tri -County High School Rodeo will improve the economic development in the Central Oregon area and Deschutes County by bringing to the area an expected 600+ people including our rodeo contestants, their families and supporters. These people would be utilizing the community and supporting our local merchants through lodging, food, fuel, shopping etc. in production of our rodeo. 5. Our local high school contestants who are competing are the direct recipients. The rodeo provides the students with an opportunity to display their athletic abilities and skills. Each contestant has the equal opportunity to display his or her own abilities. The local group of young cowboys and cowgirls benefit from the experience of being part of a team and learning the advantages of working together for the common goal, while learning leadership and organizational skills. If there are funds left after all expenses are paid, those funds are used solely for the members education and future or rodeo. The area merchants benefit from the influx of rodeo contestants and their families using and buying the available services and merchandise. The local public benefits by being offered the opportunity to watch and support our local and non -local talented athletes and by the opportunity to enjoy a part of American heritage and the great sport of rodeo. 6.

ABOUT US The Opportunity Foundation started out as a school for children with disabilities in 1965 and added services for adults with disabilities shortly thereafter in 1967. For almost 50 years, we have provided training and jobs for thousands of people in Central Oregon. Our business enterprises have included janitorial services, document destruction, recycling, thrift stores, custom wood boxes and other wood mill products, as well as assembly and packaging services. We provide paid employment for over 200 individuals with significant disabilities, most of whom would otherwise struggle to find and keep a job. As one of the largest private employers (400+ employees/clients) in the region, the economic and social impact we have on the area cannot be overstated. Our organization has experienced tremendous growth over the years due to the stewardship of our leadership team. We have had 4 Executive Directors during that time, with the average tenure of our Board of Directors being 17.5 years. Despite changes in state and federal funding, as well as the challenging business environment in Central Oregon, we have remained the benchmark organization working with people with disabilities by being flexible and with careful long term planning. Our thrift stores have been a place to shop for people who have limited resources, those who might not have access to transportation, as well as a destination for "treasure seekers" looking for that special something. The interaction between our client employees and the public has played a major role in increasing awareness of people with differences and has helped make Central Oregon a place where diversity is embraced. The Opportunity Foundation has been a key community member by way of supporting other businesses and nonprofits. Our 8 residential homes provide shelter, food, and personal care for 35 adults, 365 days a year. We also work with approximately 35 individuals who live in their own homes or apartments who need help with some of their daily activities. We shop locally for food, clothing, medical, and other needs for those same individuals. Over these many years, we have encouraged our employees to become members of social clubs as well as volunteering for community events. We have also donated items such as firewood, furniture, clothing, and gift baskets to other organizations to be used in fundraising or in helping people who need a hand up in Deschutes County. PROPOSED USE OF FUNDS Most of the people we help support are on very limited incomes. We provide transportation for these individuals for many activities; however, due to staffing considerations and lack of vehicles, we are not able to provide transportation all the time. Transportation to and from various activities shopping and recreational activities becomes problematic for these individuals as they often do not have the funds to take a bus or call a cab. Also, as Cascade East Transit has cut routes over the past few years, we have had to provide transportation to many of the individuals who no longer are served by CET. Our annual budget for transportation costs continues to grow each year with a total of $164,968 being spent our last fiscal year. We are asking for a $1,000 grant to be used on an "as needed" basis to pay for local transportation costs for the individuals we serve. This grant would pay for bus transportation or cab rides to and from various activities that we are not able to provide through our own resources. Our management team would determine which requests would be approved for the distribution of these funds. We envision these funds being used by clients to attend community events, movies, a dinner out, or other community inclusion types of activities. It has been our long held philosophy that the communities in which we live and work are strengthened by embracing diversity and exposure to people with differences. All of us become better human beings when we begin to understand that differences are not something that need make us fearful. By giving the individuals we support more opportunities to socialize and recreate in their communities, they also grow and gain confidence in their own abilities, enabling them to become contributing members of their own communities.

In 2010, 2nd Street Theater stopped producing its own plays and became a volunteer -run venue where local playwrights, producers, actors, teachers, comedians and others have had the opportunity and support to pursue their own creative endeavors. Over the course of the past three years, 2nd Street Theater has become the community's theater, creating an affordable, supportive environment for organizations such as Bend Experimental Art Theatre (B.E.A.T.) and premiering seven new locally -written full-length plays. Stage Right Productions, a nonprofit organization, was established in December 2011 to continue to be able to provide support for the creative culture of Central Oregon. The leadership of Stage Right Productions includes a Managing Director who has worked closely with 2nd Street Theater since its beginning in many capacities, has a background in the arts and marketing, running a small business and currently works in development for one of the largest nonprofits in Central Oregon. The Artistic Director, Maralyn Thoma, has 50 plus years of professional and semi-professional theater experience, having performed on and off Broadway for many years. At the present time, neither Director positions are paid positions. Members of the Board of Directors have combined experience in Small Business, Human Resources, Non Profit Marketing, Event Management, IT, Theater, and Wealth Management. The Project: Playwright Platform and New Play Series Each year Stage Right Productions has seen an increase in the number of new works being submitted for production at 2nd Street Theater. In 2013, Stage Right Productions established The Playwrights Platform, a competition for amateur new works to be submitted and eventually produced. There was an overwhelming response, with a total of 12 quality works submitted. A panel consisting of five judges with professional writing and/or theater production experience was chosen to read the submissions. "Blemished, A Musical" was the winner of the 2013 competition, and the playwright, Katelyn Alexander is a Bend Native and recent graduate of Mountain View High School. Timeline: A World Premiere of the Playwright Platform Winner, "Blemished, A Musical" will be presented May 2- 10, 2014 and will feature local talent. In addition to the Playwright's Platform, Stage Right Productions is currently reviewing proposals for its upcoming season, from several local playwrights. Stage Right Productions is reviewing proposals for two to three more locally -written plays in the 2014/2015 Season. The 2014 Playwright Platform Competition will be transformed into a 10 Minute Play Competition and presented in the 2014/2015 Season. Impact & Community: The goal of the Playwright Platform and New Play Series is to: • To help Central Oregon playwrights improve their skill and craft. • To provide a place where playwrights can network with each other and with other local theater artists. • To provide a space where new work can be tried, tested, and refined. • To provide an opportunity for local playwrights to see their work produced on the stage. • To introduce audiences and actors to new local works. • To provide playwrights with collateral material for future promotion to other venues or publishers. • To engage the community in the play selection process. • Inspire people of all levels of experience and ages to create works. The Playwrights Platform and New Play Series gives new playwrights the chance to have their works read and produced by professionals, get constructive feedback and put marketing materials together to promote their works. Stage Right Productions and 2nd Street Theater operate exclusively in Deschutes County. We have audience members, volunteers and artists from all parts of Deschutes County including Sisters, Prineville, Bend and Redmond. Often times, family members and tourists from outside Deschutes County and outside Oregon come to see shows, bringing tourist dollars to the area. The Playwrights Platform and the New Play Series will be no exception to that. Purchases for set materials, costumes, printing, advertising costs and other production expenses are made locally and often exceed several thousand dollars. Many of our regular volunteers are low income COCC Students. The Playwrights Platform and New Play Series will contribute to existing cultural experiences and encourage greater awareness of local culture. Our "Resident Playwright", Cricket Daniel, was a recipient of the Bend Arts and Beautification Culture Award in 2011 and recently produced her 4th play at 2nd Street Theater to sellout crowds. The Playwright Platform and New Play Series will provide learning opportunities for not only the playwrights, but for everyone involved in the production process as well as the audience members. As with any new work, there is a risk factor involved in attracting audience members, actors and volunteers that aren't familiar with the material. A $2,000 matching grant from Deschutes County Commissioners will be used specifically to help underwrite a portion of the costs of raising community awareness through media such as print, radio and web promotion. Stage Right Productions will receive a matching in-kind donation from Horizon Broadcasting, and The Source Weekly of approximately $1000. The other $1000 to -be -matched will come from advertising and ticket sales. Other sources of funding for our New Play programs include season ticket passes, regular ticket sales, advertisements in the program, sponsorships, and donations from individuals. See budget below: Production Expenses Printing/Graphic Design ($494) Set Construction ($500) Staff/Venue/Facility cost (incl. rehearsal time) ($2000) Costumes/Props ($200) Director/Musical Director/Crew/Musicians ($1500) Radio Ads ($1000) Print Advertising ( Source Weekly) ($447) Ticketing Fees ($339) Videotape Production ($200) Playwright Stipend ($500) TOTAL EXPENSE $7180 Production Revenue Ticket Sales (6 shows, 40 avg tickets per show $4080 @$17 avg ticket price) In -Kind radio/print advertising $1000 Deschutes Co. Grant $2000 Program Ads/Sponsorships $100 Total Revenue $7180 Future Funding and Performance Measurement In the future, Stage Right Productions plans on submitting an application for funding through the Creative Heights Initiative through the Oregon Community Foundation. In its first year, the Playwrights Platform had a total of 12 submissions and gauging from the response, that number will continue to grow over the next few years. We have already received proposals for 4 new plays for the coming season from local playwrights. Main stage shows produced at 2nd Street Theater have had average audiences of 535 people( based on 10 performances per production). Unfamiliar and new plays tend to have an average attendance of 40- 45% of capacity. Having additional funding will help us increase our audience attendance from 40% to our overall average of 69%, which in turn will generate more funding for future programs. As Stage Right Productions continues to build an audience following for its New Play Series, we anticipate an increase in quality play submissions, sponsorships and audience attendance. Stage Right Productions anticipates creating more opportunities for play festivals and competitions, as well as more media recognition for the creative community in Deschutes County and we are excited about continuing to promote new works with the help of the Deschutes County Commissioners.

Deschutes County Board of Commissioners Discretionary Grant Program Application February 20, 2014 Alfalfa, Oregon Fire District Grant Program Application In response to grant program questions: 1. The community of Alfalfa and the surrounding area has never had a fire department to protect our homes and farm buildings. In the past thirty years, there have been 3 unsuccessful attempts to get a measure on the ballot to establish a rural volunteer fire department. After two years of active volunteer community advocacy, on August 6th, 2013 the Board of the Deschutes County Commissioners unanimously approved to proceed with the formation of the Alfalfa Fire District (AFD). In November of 2013, Ballot Measure #9-95 was passed and on December 11, 2013, the Alfalfa Fire District was created and sworn in. The AFD encompasses parts of eastern Deschutes County and western Crook County. Tax revenue becomes available November 1, 2014. The Mission Statement of the Alfalfa Fire District is as follows: The purpose of the Alfalfa Fire District is to organize for rural fire protection for property within the district, enter into mutual aid agreements, apply for grants, train members, educate the public, purchase and maintain necessary equipment, land, and structures as required for operating a fire district and department and provide emergency medical assistance. (See attachment A). There is a Board of Directors in place. (See attachment B). Following the creation of the AFD, board meetings are held monthly on the third Wednesday at 6:30pm in the Alfalfa Community Hall. Minutes are kept and Robert's Rules of Order are followed. Our website is www.alfalfafiredistrict.org. A 2014 Strategic Plan is in place. (See attachment C). 2. In order to begin capacity building, basic computer and office equipment is needed to ensure best practices and to effectively advance and manage the AFD. 3. Effective immediately following the grant award, computer equipment and office supplies will be purchased which will sustain our organization over time. 4. Equipment and supplies will allow AFD volunteers to become more efficient at budget practices, to research and apply for grants, and to communicate more effectively through our website and other communication methods with AFD families. As we work toward pursuing and training volunteer fire fighters within our community and providing fire protection information to community members, the AFD will have a positive impact on lives and community. 5. There are approximately 460 homes and 900+ people within the Alfalfa Fire District (AFD) parameters. (See attachment D). 6. At this time, no matching funds are available. Grant funds will be used to purchase: Laptop computer and keyboard $500. Back-up hard drive 125. All in one printer 250. Quick Books w/Payroll Software 300. Projector 600. Office supplies 400. TOTAL REQUEST $2175. 7. The Alfalfa Fire District (AFD) begins receiving tax revenue in November 2014. See the Tax Comparison Chart. (See attachment E). In addition, we will continue to research and apply for grants. 8. IRS Tax Status. (See Attachment F).
