TWSTing in Bend (6/5)
Although the forecast said snow (what?!), we woke up to sunshine in Bend

full house for our morning TWST meeting at Deschutes Children's Foundation's Rosie Bareis Campus, with close to 60 attendees
TWSTing in La Pine

Out of the Office
Topics: Grassroots Grants | Staff
I work in the MMT’s office in Portland's Pearl District and don’t often get to visit our many grantees around the state or Clark County, so I especially enjoyed the opportunity to visit a grantee last weekend just a few miles from my home in Oregon City. Forests Forever held a dedication and opening ceremony for their new Forest Hall classroom at the Hopkins Demonstration Forest.
TWST Coming to Deschutes & Jefferson counties
We will be holding four Two-Way Street Tour (TWST) community meetings
in Deschutes and Jefferson Counties from Monday, June 4 to Wednesday, June 6, to hear about the needs of local nonprofits and communities and advice about seeking funding from MMT.
