WAG: Wellness Action Group Tours
Community Center
Is it possible?
Community Center
Is it possible?
Yes! The WAG tour group included Scott Hunter, Bill Black, Michelle Campobasso, Phil Hansen, Tom Jensen, Troy Johnson, Rick Morton, Nate Piturachsatit, Jerry Sands, Jesse Utz and Christy Price.
The group toured impressive community centers that began with similar dreams as this community has envisioned. They visited centers in Usk, Washington and Plummer and Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
Is it possible? According to a report of the committee in The Star Online, "First, the business side. The revenue sources possible to help pay for the ongoing expenses of a good community center are surprisingly robust. Usk, about the size of the town of Coulee Dam, is drawing members to its YMCA-like program from as far away as north Spokane (over an hour’s drive) because the place is beautiful and functional... the fact that they can do THAT, tells me that we can do SOMETHING to make our community more livable for ourselves and our children, more attractive to newcomers and more sustainable culturally and economically. If we pull together on this, we can."
