TWST heads to Columbia Gorge
Meyer Memorial Trust's Two-Way Street Tour will host community meetings in Moro, The Dalles and Maupin June 15-17, 2010.
MMT Program Officer Sally Yee will appear at these events to provide advice about seeking grants from Meyer Memorial Trust and to collect information about the needs of nonprofits and communities in north central Oregon.
The Two Way Street Tour (TWST) program began in 2007 to increase MMT's outreach efforts to help nonprofit organizations better understand our foundation and programs as well as to help us learn more about the communities and organizations we serve. Through May 2010, MMT staff had held meetings in 57 communities in 24 counties through Oregon and southwest Washington. MMT reports on the meetings on our website.
"These TWST meetings are one way we create an on-going dialogue with our communities to better understand the issues/challenges they face and learn about the wide range of approaches they have taken to address their needs,” Meyer Memorial Trust CEO Doug Stamm said. “We hope these meetings encourage conversation, networking, and sharing resources and ideas among community groups.”
