Volunteers of the Month

Taylor Smith (left) and Winsvey Campos (right) are the Youth Center's volunteers of the Month. These two Bandon High School students have been helping Eileen with the after school tutoring program throughout the school year. During Arpil they contributed the first mural to the newly painted Youth Center recreation room. Taylor is also being considered for the Youth Center's Board of Directors position for a person under 21 years of age.

Two Bandon High School students were the architects of a brand new mural, "Imagine", inside the Youth Center. Taylor Smith and Wlnsvey Campos not only came up with the concept but also did most of the design and painting of the mural itself.

Taylor and Winsvey were playing with the conept of peace when the John Lennon tune came to mind. With some guidance from their high school art teacher Jen Ells and some help from Any Schoonmaker and donated materials from Bandon True Value, the girls were on their way to making their concept a reality.

The girls produced the mural pretty much by themselves as youth at the Center watched and admired their work. Ben Quinn did help with some painting

Auction Brings in Cash

The Youth Center's 9th annual auction on January 30 came close to matching our previous record for proceeds. The Center realized more than $6,200 from its major fundraiser for the year.

The Harbortown Events Center served as the site of this year's event. We appreciate Kirk and Elizabeth Day for donating their site and thanks to all who donated items for this event.

Auctioneer Steve Underdown led an energetic live auction that netted $4,200 for the Center's programs. The silent auction brought in nearly $1,400.
