Childcare available. Money available to pay adult care in your home. You will need to arrange for your own care provider and then complete a reimbursement form at the meeting. Please RSVP to me, indicating the # of children, if you will be attending the meeting and will be requesting reimbursement. This will ensure that I have enough cash available.

There is also gas money available if you need assistance.

Thank you!



Community Center Meeting
What: Focus on Goals

Where: The next meeting Community Center Action Team will be held by the Community Center Action Team will be January 22, 5:30 pm. at the Community Church in Coulee Dam. Dinner and Child Care provided. Gas money available.

Why: Our team believes that a centrally located community center would greatly benefit this area. We envision a facility that could offer social activities, learning activities, health and wellness programs, etc for all ages. We believe that this could have great potential to benefit all aspects of our community from the schools, to the senior programs, hospitals, clinics, even the police department.

It is our hope that we will be able to come together in this endeavor to strengthen our community and possibly work toward consolidating many of our individual programs into one unit working together.




Child Care Town Hall

What: We will be holding a town-hall-type meeting on Saturday, January 24 from 2-4pm at the Coulee Dam Community Presbyterian Church in Coulee Dam (across from the Tribal Museum). Free trained childcare will be provided at the church. Gas money available.

What: The team is looking for community members to partner with us as we approach this broad, important subject. Our main areas of focus will be on the need for childcare facilities and additional preschool options. We need your ideas, experiences, concerns and expertise, even if you would not like to be directly involved long-term.

This group is made possible by the support of the Horizons grant program for Grand Coulee. Please RSVP to Kevin Lind at kevinllind@gmail.com or 631-0774 if you plan to attend or have any questions.
