Hidden Charitable Trust
honored for providing
The Hidden Charitable Trust was presented the 2008 Clark College Foundation’s Presidential Award last evening for having provided scholarships to over 100 Clark College students over the past 14 years. The award was accepted by Monte and Naomi Hidden. “Scholarships like those provided by the Hidden family make the critical difference to our students,” says Ara Serjoie, vice president of development for the college foundation. “In addition to paying for tuition and fees, the funds can provide assistance with purchasing tools, equipment, books and materials that are required in many fields of study at Clark College.” Legacy Salmon Creek Hospital also earned a President’s Award from the foundation for Legacy’s work in helping Clark develop its Medical Radiography program.
First north county business
expo More than 200 persons and 50 vendors participated in the North Clark County 2008 Business Opportunity Expo in the Clark County Event Center Thursday, reports spokesperson Karen Ciocia. The four jurisdictions that sponsored the expo, Battle Ground, Ridgefield, La Center and the Port of Ridgefield, have formed a partnership, North County Leadership Council, and are expected to begin planning further meetings to promote economic development for the growing region. La Center mayor Jim Irish said after the expo: “Simply continuing with the status quo is not an acceptable alternative. The business expo was something new and different. It was an excellent way of focusing the economic development lens on north Clark County.” Speakers were entrepreneurs Jeff Shafer, CEO and founder of now Ridgefield-based national denim apparel manufacturer Agave, and Jerry Greenfield, co-founder of Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream. “The tradeshow gave us a chance to showcase companies that currently do business in north Clark County,” said Battle Ground mayor Mike Ciraulo.

News brief YWCA Clark County earned $430,000 from its participation in the 2008 Classic Wines Auction held in Portland last March, reports the Portland-based organization's executive director, Heather Martin. The auction earned over $3 million for five participating organizations, the Clark County YWCA and these Oregon-based agencies: Metropolitan Family Service, New Avenues for Youth, Friends of the Children, and Trillium Family Services. This year was the first time the YWCA was part of the event. It has been invited back for 2009, according to Martin. Kathy Kniep, YWCA executive director, said, “Combined with the YWCA earnings from its May event, Party Like Rockstars, the YWCA will be able to expand its violence prevention work, with the hope that fewer people will need the YWCA’s crisis intervention services.” For further information on the wine auction, go to www.classicwinesauction.com.
