Easter Egg Hunt
Over 400 Easter Eggs
were hidden in the Children’s Museum on the day before Easter! There were eggs everywhere! That huge Easter bunny, played by Matthew
Prowant, was a very busy crittier as he greeted each child and was available
to be petted. A cuter or taller Easter
bunny has never been seen before or since!
After all the eggs were discovered, the children enjoyed making
age-appropriate crafts. Refreshments
were served and the Easter bunny went home for another year.
Pendleton
Foundation Trust
In the year 2001,
the Children's Museum of Eastern
Oregon received a generous
grant from the Pendleton Foundation Trust. This gift was instrumental in the
continued operation of the Children's Museum. We are very grateful to the
Pendleton Foundation Trust and to its trustees.
The Pendleton Foundation
Trust was founded in 1928 and is the oldest community foundation in Oregon. Contributions
to the Foundation are held in trust and the income from that trust is
dedicated to fund improvements to the community of Pendleton. Since its
beginnings, the Foundation has granted more than $1 million to partially or
entirely fund projects in Pendleton. These gifts include, but are not limited
to, projects of the Umatilla County Historical Society and the Arts Council
of Pendleton; track and field improvements at the Pendleton public schools,
Blue Mountain Community College, Babe Ruth Field, and Little League Park;
equipment and instruments for the Oregon East Symphony; and library books for
the Pendleton Public Library.
The Foundation gives over
$70,000 annually in grants. All donations to the Pendleton Foundation Trust
help the principal grow, making it possible to give back more to the
community. Call the Pendleton Foundation Trust at 541-276-3331 to participate
through direct donation, estate gift or trust, or memorial gift.
Contributions may also be mailed to POB 218, Pendleton, OR 97801.
Or for more information, please contact Renee Bishop.
Wildhorse Foundation
Wildhorse Foundation is instrumental in the
continued operation of the Children's Museum
of Eastern Oregon.
It not only provided a grant in 2001 for the general operating expenses of
the Museum, but provided a grant to provide a Cultural Awareness and Arts
Program. Currently, the Museum has created African Adventure and Journey to Japan exhibits; two more exhibits
are in the planning stages Fire Safety Exhibit and The Toddler Zone. Wildhorse
Foundation was established in January 2001 to formalize charitable giving on
behalf of the Wildhorse
Resort & Casino and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian
Reservation. Funds from the Wildhorse
Foundation are used for education, public health, public safety, gambling
addiction prevention, education and treatment, the arts, environmental
protection, education or preservation, cultural activities, salmon
restoration and historic preservation. Wildhorse Foundation
provides grants for projects that benefit Umatilla, Union,
Morrow, and Wallowa counties as well as the Umatilla Indian Reservation. In
its first year, the Foundation contributed $75,000 in grants. Some, but not
of the recipients, include the Pioneer Playground Project, the Umatilla
County Historical Society, the Oregon East Symphony as well as the Children's
Museum of Eastern Oregon.
The Children's Museum is
grateful to Wildhorse
Foundation for its continued support.
