Sheri,<div>Just an FYI from a barn owner. We own 2 historic barns and 1 carriage house all dated 1910-1920. I went to take the survey and the second questions asking you to rank all 14 items is WAY too long for an initial survey. And, I could not opt out of that questions and move on to the rest of the survey.</div>
<div><br></div><div> If someone wants to contact me re the barns they can.</div><div><br></div><div>Jane Davis<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Aug 22, 2011 at 8:54 AM, Sheri Stuart <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sheri.stuart@state.or.us">sheri.stuart@state.or.us</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div>1. DEADLINE APPROACHING FOR PRESERVING OREGON GRANTS</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The deadline is approaching for Preserving Oregon Grant applications. These matching grants enable rehabilitation and preservation of<br>resources listed in the National Register of Historic Places or identification, preservation and / or interpretation of significant<br>
archaeological sites. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Successful applications will convey completion of work using appropriate preservation practices featuring the Secretary of the<br>Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Properties, State Historic Preservation Office regulations for archaeological work, etc.<br>
Bids and estimates will strengthen applications. The grantee must match funds 1:1. Local financial support allows the program to assist more<br>projects and fosters local support for preservation. Match can include cash, in-kind donations, and volunteer time. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>SHPO must receive proposals no later than Sept. 30 and will notify successful applicants by Nov. 1. The deadline for project completion,<br>reporting and billing is Nov. 1, 2012. For complete information and applications about the above grant programs, visit<br>

<div><br>2. OREGON HUMANITIES LETTERS OF INTEREST DEADLINE SET<br> <br>Last year, Oregon Humanities Public Program Grants funded many conversations including that of three generations of women to talk about<br>a century of voting. Public Program Grants also supported community arts and culture festivals, lecture series, and guided walking tours in rural<br>
Oregon. Oregon Humanities is currently reviewing letters of interest for Public Program Grants that use the humanities to connect Oregonians<br>to ideas that change lives, transform communities, bring together diverse groups of Oregonians and that reflect collaboration between<br>
organizations within a community. Oregon Humanities will accept letters of interest postmarked no later than Oct. 31 for programs beginning<br>after April 1, 2012. For guidelines and other information, visit <a href="http://www.oregonhumanaties.org" target="_blank">www.oregonhumanaties.org</a>. <br>

<div>3. HISTORIC BARN SURVEY PARTICIPATION REQUESTED</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There is growing concern about the future of historic barns, farmsteads and outbuildings - all part of our rich agricultural heritage. The<br>Historic Preservation League of Oregon recently placed two barns and one farmstead on their “2011 Most Endangered Places” list. In an effort<br>
to evaluate and address the needs of our rural architecture, a collaborative OregonBARN initiative is seeking input from farmers,<br>preservationists and barn fans. Please take a few minutes to complete an Oregon Heritage Barn Survey at <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/R2YGFS8" target="_blank">www.surveymonkey.com/s/R2YGFS8</a> .</div>
