1. Reminder to register for the FREE "Main Street as Developer" workshop on
Wednesday, March 27, 8 a.m. to noon, Cook Memorial Library, 2006 Fourth
Street, La Grande. Parking is available on-site. Affilitate & Exploring
Downtown level communities register at:
<http://msdeveloper.eventbrite.com> http://msdeveloper.eventbrite.com

The workshop will feature Bridgette Epple, executive director of Downtown
Washington, Inc., a 2013 Great American Main Street award winning community.
Under her tenure, the program was the active developer of a few key projects
in the downtown. Faced with the closure of the post office in downtown
Washington (MO), the fate of the historic building looked bleak. A handsome
red brick building with arched windows and a neo-Classical pedimented
entryway, the Old Post Office was beloved by the community since it was
built in 1922. So Downtown Washington Inc. stepped in. Working with its
sister organization, the Historic Washington Foundation, DWI bought the post
office. Tax credits and grants were applied toward restoring the exterior.
To raise additional funds, DWI's Organization Committee threw a Post Office
Bash. Come hear about this project and other examples where the local Main
Street organization stepped in to be the catalyst for development. The
workshop is free to Oregon Main Street Network communities, but registration
is required.

2. Job Opportunity: NEDCO is seeking a Main Street Program Administrator to
generate and support business vitality and investment in core commercial
districts by working closely with local organizations, community volunteers,
businesses, property owners, and governmental agencies. Please see the
attached job announcement for additional information.

3. Congratulations to Harv Schubothe, main street coordinator in Bandon, for
being honored as one of the 2013 Ford Community Fellows sponsored by The
Ford Family Foundations. The award is given to rural residents in Oregon and
Siskiyou County, CA who have demonstrated a commitment to community service
and a dedication to the pursuit of rural community vitality.

Ford Community Fellows are nominated by Ford Family Foundation staff and
partner contractors who deliver the Ford Institute Leadership Program. In
addition to participation in the Ford Institute Leadership Program, these
Fellows have volunteered as Ford Community Ambassadors and assisted with the
delivery of leadership development sessions in their communities.

The Ford Community Fellows program was initiated in 2011 to honor graduates
for their work in rural communities. The first five Fellows selected that
year were from Cottage Grove, Ontario, Tillamook, Burns and Mt. Shasta.
These fellows began their work in 2012.

Fellows serve with a focus on strengthening community vitality. Each fellow
fulfills an important role by serving as a link between their community and
The Ford Family Foundation. They are the eyes and ears on the ground on
community based issues and share those observations with community leaders
and the Foundation.

Each Fellow receives a $12,000 annual unrestricted monetary award and is
eligible for up to two renewal awards. Fellows are expected to develop their
own plan to explore, learn, and practice the art of community building. The
Ford Community Fellows promote community building and vitality by some or
all of the following activities:

*	coaching communities toward their own vision, priorities and
measures of success (indicators)
*	promoting systems thinking and collaboration
*	modeling a commitment to "life- long learning"
*	leveraging local resources to draw on external sources, including
individuals, philanthropy, non-profits, business, and government
*	encouraging development of projects and programs that draw on best
theory and practice
*	directing communities to full use of their own resources of time,
energy, and dollars to move projects and programs forward (make things
happen)
*	assisting communities in measuring their own success
*	convening individuals, groups and communities to strengthen social
capital and networks while learning from each other
*	sustaining strong relationships with key stakeholders, adjoining
community leaders, and The Ford Institute for Community Building
*
