CFNCW Annual Report 2011
The Community Foundation of North Central Washington, Annual Report 2011
Better Together Annual Report 2011 COMMUNITY FOUNDATI ON OF N ORTH C E NT RA L WA S H I NG TO N 2 Message from the Chair One of the greatest benefits of being part of the Community Foundation of North Central Washington is knowing first-hand how our communities are being impacted by philanthropy. The region we serve is large, but one commonality is the love for our surroundings. We live here for the four seasons, the mountains, the rivers and lakes. We care about our environment and our neighbors. Our nonprofit community works hard to assure that the greatest needs are being met in every way. Whether through children's programs, arts and culture, environmental protection, education, or health and human services, CFNCW works with nonprofit organizations to provide resources for success. Through our Community Grants Program and Nonprofit Practices Institute, CFNCW strives to strengthen our nonprofits that are making such positive impacts in our communities. Whether you are a donor, a grantee, or a community resident, I hope you find our annual report conveys the great work being done across the region. I would like to extend a special thanks to our generous donors - without you, none of this would be possible. Mary C. Murphy, CFNCW Board Chair Our mission is to grow, protect, and connect charitable gifts in support of strong communities. We work in four basic areas: 1) making grants to strengthen and support local nonprofit organizations; 2) advancing philanthropy at all levels of giving; 3) raising awareness of local charitable needs and giving opportunities; 4) managing the investments of our community's charitable endowment. The Community Foundation of North Central Washington (CFNCW) is a charitable community trust organized as a nonprofit in 1986 from the sale proceeds of nonprofit Chelan County Medical Service Corporation. Originally the Greater Wenatchee Community Foundation, the foundation began with approximately $2.1 million in assets. Today, CFNCW manages over $43 million in assets in over 400 individualized funds supporting charitable causes in Chelan, Douglas and Okanogan counties. Over $8 million has been invested throughout NCW through grants and scholarships distributed by CFNCW. CFNCW provides flexibility through tailored services that help individuals and families pursue their charitable dreams conveniently, effectively, and with maximum tax benefits. CFNCW is a collection of philanthropic funds created by donors who want to give back to their community for general charitable purposes or for a particular purpose - some during their lifetime, some by bequest. They all impact our community by supporting causes that work to make our communities safe, healthy, diverse, and protected for generations to come. In 2011... $2,376,143 total gifts were received to support charitable causes in our communities and beyond $1,519,374 grant funds were awarded through 342 grants to nonprofits across NCW $278,390 in scholarship funds were awarded to 151 NCW students pursuing higher education 600+ nonprofit leaders across NCW received professional development from our NPI events 100+ board volunteers were celebrated for their dedication and leadership 17 new funds were established that will bring positive impacts to our communities: James & Kathleen Arneil Community Fund Compassionate Care Insurance CVCH Nursing Scholarship in memory of Holly Williams Ferne Daniel Legacy Fund Diversity Justice Day Ronald Dean Estes Scholarship Guild House Endowment Harry & Kathern Lovejoy Scholarship Fund MGIVE MGIVE Wenatchee Valley College Mustard Seed Special Agency Advised Methow Valley Endowment Rutherford Family Donor Advised Upper Valley Christian School Endowment Wenatchee Kiwanis Donor Advised Endowment Wenatchee Kiwanis Scholarship Winthrop Ice & Sports Rink Agency Advised BE TTE R TO G E T H E R Establish a Fund with CFNCW The Community Foundation of NCW is for people who care about making this part of the world a more wonderful place to live, to learn, to work and raise family. No one knows exactly what our communities' needs will be in 20, 50 or 100 years, but we believe that tomorrow's local leaders will need substantial charitable resources to respond adequately to the issues of the day. Donors to the CFNCW want to make a real difference with their philanthropy and they know the Foundation has the ability to help them do just that. Individuals, families, organizations or businesses may create a named fund with a minimum gift of $5,000. Contributions can be made at any time, adding gifts when it is to your best advantage. It's quick and easy to establish a fund at the Community Foundation--even if the gifts are complicated such as gifts of stock or real estate. And the best part is: our administrative fee is just 1%. Whether you want to be a part of grantmaking, establish a scholarship, or have charitable intent but not sure how to determine the most need, our professional staff can help acheive your charitable goals today and forever.

These are some of the events we held in 2011. 2011 NPI Summit May 23 | Campbell's Resort, Lake Chelan The annual NPI summit is a day-long conference with sessions that provide best practices, innovative ideas, resources and tools to our nonprofit workforce.

Your Guide to Securing Federal Grants Attendees also got to "Meet the Funders" - representatives from various funding organizations shared important insight about their funding practices: what they look for, pitfalls to avoid, and tips for making projects shine above others. And finally, an "Expert Series" providing the opportunity to hear from leaders and visionaries from popular industries share trends, research data, and hot topics relevant to the mission and purpose of many nonprofits. Survey Says! Here is what some of the attendees had to say about the NPI summit: "Thank you to CFNCW for their pursuit of excellence in serving the non-profits within NCW." "A+! Todd is one of the best speakers EVER at the NPI. Bring him back every year. Each non-profit needs to attend his session!" 12 "I am not able to attend these types of trainings outside the area. An opportunity to access non-profit training in our own region is a huge benefit.

There were 67 committees, comprised of 134 volunteers and board trustees, who were responsible for examining the applications. "Receiving this amazing acknowledgement is a dream come true," said Fredy Cortez, recipient of the Melonye Shurtz Memorial Scholarship. "When I first started school in the Wenatchee Valley, college for me was just a farfetched illusion. Through my years at Eastmont High School, I have discovered my full potential to succeed and thanks to these scholarships, my future college career is assured." Donors who create scholarship funds establish the specific criteria for their awards. The committees must consider these requirements and stipulations when awarding certain scholarships, for example the Melvin P. 'Mel' & Lyndell Crowder NCW Memorial Horticulture Scholarship, which was awarded to Jorge Zavala. "Both my father and mother work in the field of agriculture as seasonal laborers and have Fredy Cortez worked in Wenatchee for almost Melonye Shurtz Memorial Scholarhisp 16 years," Jorge said. "Knowing LeMaster/Auvil Scholarship how much my parents have sacrificed on a daily basis inspires me to become an example for my younger siblings and also to show my parents how much I appreciate what they have done for me." Jorge said he plans on obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Horticulture from Washington State University, and, when complete, will move back to Wenatchee to work in agriculture. Jorge Zavalas Melvin P. "Mel" and Lyndell Crowder NCW Memorial Horticulture Scholarship Harry and Kathern Lovejoy Scholarship "Agriculture is a big part of my everyday life," Zavala says, "so when I return, I will go above and beyond to insure that agriculture prospers in my community.

A path of destruction was left behind after severe storms and a tornado swept through Claiborne County Sunday evening.
The tornado, which touched down in Speedwell around 6:30 p.m., was determined by the National Weather Service to be an F3 tornado, with winds reaching around 140 mph.
"We have 10 homes in Claiborne County that are totally destroyed," said David Breeding, director of the Claiborne County Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, adding that several homes in neighboring Campbell County were destroyed or damaged as well.
As of Monday, he did not have an estimate of the number of homes in Claiborne that were damaged. His team was to assess that on Tuesday.
One of the homes destroyed Sunday belongs to Sheriff David Ray.
"Wayne Lee called me around 6 p.m. and told me to get in the basement," said Ray, adding that Lee had seen weather radar indicating the strong line of storms was headed directly for Ray's home.
Ray and his wife Pat got her mother and they went to the basement, where he said he laid on top of them to protect them from debris.
"The whole thing lasted about three minutes," he said. "When I realized the worst was over we went upstairs to see the devastation. I thank God we weren't injured; I have a few scratches, but nothing bad."
He and his wife are staying at their farmhouse for now, he added. He was at his house on Monday, trying to salvage what he could from the ruins.
"I've been overwhelmed with calls from people wanting to help, and I thank everyone for their concern," he said.
Just down the hill from Ray, D & P Grocery was located on Old Hwy. 63. Owner Patsy Pierce was by herself in her house, which was attached to the store, when she heard a pop and loud noises. She took shelter in a bathtub.
"I don't know how long it lasted, but it felt like forever," she said.
The wall behind the bathtub separates the bathroom from a bedroom, which sustained the most damage in her home.
The store was completely destroyed.
Pierce said she isn't sure what she will do next; she's been there since 1971, but doesn't know if she'll be able to ever get back in her home. For the time being she is staying with her daughter.
Many friends, family members and church members helped her Sunday night and Monday, salvaging everything possible.
County commissioner David Mundy lives near the devastated area and represents that district.
"It missed us, but we watched it go through," he said.
Mundy was in the area Monday, assisting where needed.
Although the tornado left a devastating path, no shelter was set up, according to Breeding.
"We sent people door to door to check on them Sunday and everyone was going to family, friends or neighbors to stay so we didn't need to set one up," he said.
He added that the American Red Cross is on standby in case a shelter is needed. The Red Cross disaster relief team was out on Monday, delivering snacks and drinks to those working in the area.
The area was packed with emergency personnel, utility personnel and volunteers.
Breeding asks that anyone who has damage or any needs such as food or shelter as the result of the storms call his office between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
He also asks that if you have even minor damage, such as to a roof, call and report it.
"We might be able to get them help," he said. "We have volunteers just waiting to get to work."
The office number is 423-626-9617.

Virginia Woman Is Sued For $750,000 After Writing Scathing Yelp Review 424
from the sticks-and-stones dept.
Who would have thunk it? On US citizen suing another. Oh the shock of it all!
So WTF is this doing on
Hey, it's enough of a difference to make it patentable.
Fortunately some of our laws were made during the brief time when the government was run by the people.
When was that? Or do you mean run by the people who were white male landowners who didn't pick the losing side in a recent war?
Yep, those are the ones I mean.
True, you can do that with pretty much every great historical figure. See:
Churchill - racist.
Thomas Jefferson - racist.
Hitler - so-so painter.
Hitler - so-so painter.
...and vegetarian.

Been loving rails, but still struggling with how long it takes to run tasks from the command line.
I'm wondering if it's possible to combine multiple rake tasks without reloading the environment each time. For example, if I run
rails generate rspec:install && rails generate model test_model title:string && rake db:migrate
it will spend 10 seconds loading up rails to run the rspec install, then another ten seconds to load up the environment for generate model, then another for the migration. Is there a way to keep the same environment open for all 3 commands?

Fight Club was very well done, and had such a message. Secrets and Twists also added to the quality of the movie. The movie got slightly lost in the middle, but I did not think that was a big problem with this movie. David Fincher was at his best when making this movie, and in my oppinion he did a fantastic job making everything work perfectly. A great story, and the fantastic work of Fincher made this a 5 star movie.

What is it for?I am building a simple restful API using Express over MongoDB in order to support a mobile application. Even though the endpoint was quite straightforward, I wanted to ensure it is properly tested. In creating this test, I wanted to fulfill some simple objectives
- Integration style test - completely independent of the implementation
- Setup and Teardown of the database.
- Fast, simple, as little complexity as possible
What Am I Testing?The API is simple
../rules/clientId/ruleId (get) - Retrieve a specific rule for a specific client
../rules/clientId (get) - Retrieve all of the rules for a specific client
../rules (post) - Store a rule
../rules/clientId/ruleId (delete) - Delete a specific rule for a specific client
Why Use Jasmine? Why not use Frisby.js?Ah tool choice, such a fraught area. Jasmine is well established and there is a great node port of Jasmine here https://github.com/mhevery/jasmine-node that is reasonably active. All you Mocha folks and Karma fanatics, pls comment and tell me why framework X is better than Jasmine :)
Frisby.js seems to have a lot of search engine traction but It doesn't support setup/teardown (https://github.com/vlucas/frisby/issues/91) and seemed to force me into a certain way of doing things which I didn't like.
Enough already let's do itThe full gist is here if you want to look at it...
SetupTo setup, I use beforeEach with the done option because I want to asynchronously move on to the test once the MongoDB call is finished. To setup for the tests, I insert a single 'rule' document containing just ID information.
beforeEach(function(done){ MongoClient.connect("mongodb://" + config.mongo_db_address + ":" + config.mongo_db_port + "/" + config.mongo_db_name, function (err, db) { var collection = db.collection('rules'); collection.insert({"clientId": "test","ruleId": "test1"}, function (err, result) { db.close(); done(); }); }); });
TeardownTo teardown, I issue a global delete for all rules belonging to the test client. This is a bit crude but as in all integration style testing, I don't have the luxury of simply making tests transactional. Note that again, I am using the Async form and using a done method to indicate that things can move on.
afterEach(function(done) { MongoClient.connect("mongodb://" + config.mongo_db_address + ":" + config.mongo_db_port + "/" + config.mongo_db_name, function (err, db) { var collection = db.collection('rules'); collection.remove({ "clientId": "test" }, function (err, result) { db.close(); done(); }); }); });
Update: I am now using uri: not url: and also using the json:true parameter in the request options. this means I don't need to JSON.parse the bodyString like I was before.. much cleaner.
Testing the GetTesting the getter method is simple. I simply use the request component to retrieve the body string from the endpoint, use JSON.parse to convert it to an object littoral and then assert its values.
it("should retrieve a specific rule", function(done) { request({ uri: "http://localhost:3000/api/rules/test/test1", json: true }, function(error, response, body){ expect(body.clientId).toEqual("test"); expect(body.ruleId).toEqual("test1"); done(); }); });
Testing the PostFor the Post, I really should check the addition to the DB but I cheat a bit by making a nested get call and verifying the return result (I use the same Kluge for delete).
it("should store a rule", function(done) { request({ method:'POST', uri: "http://localhost:3000/api/rules", json:{"clientId": "test","ruleId": "test2"} }, function(error, response, bodyPost){ request({ url: "http://localhost:3000/api/rules/test/test2", json:true }, function(error, response, body){ expect(body.ruleId).toEqual("test2"); done(); }); }); });
Thats it, hope this helps. I certainly thought this would be easier than it was and had dead ends with Frisby.js (no setup/teardown) and fiddling about with Request but this works. All comments and suggestions accepted.

Harvest and flush: Indoor rainwater recycling proposed in California
To reduce pressure on California's strained water supplies, a bill is introduced to the State Assembly that would permit Californians to use reclaimed rainwater indoors as well as out.
Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 06:50 PM
As reported by Jaymi Heimbuch over at TreeHugger, a new bill introduced to the California State Assembly, AB 275, the Rainwater Capture Act of 2011, would grant Californians full permission to not only collect rainwater for outdoor landscape irrigation (even this remains a delicate topic in states like Washington, Utah and Colorado where, up until 2009, rainwater harvesting was illegal) but for non-potable indoor use as well.
In many areas around the world, folks are pretty much free to collect and use rainwater as they see fit whether it's inside or outside the home. In some countries, take Bermuda for example, it's compulsory that every newly built home has a rainwater harvesting system. This isn't quite the case in some parts of the U.S. where possessing a rain barrel is akin to owning a bong: sure you can openly buy and own one but you damned well better not use it (at least not without permission). It's a shaky analogy but hopefully you get the picture.
Noah Garrison over at the NRDC Switchboard explains the details of the Rainwater Capture Act of 2011 and what it would mean for drought-ridden California if passed:
The bill would explicitly authorize landowners to install rain barrel systems or cisterns to capture rainwater for outdoor, non-potable uses such as landscape irrigation. This practice is, in general, already permissible in the state. However, the bill would also authorize landowners to install systems to capture rainwater for use, with proper treatment, in indoor non-potable applications, such as toilet or urinal flushing. Allowing rainwater to be used for indoor applications would greatly expand the opportunities to capture and use rainwater in the state. The more uses rainwater can be directed to, the faster storage tanks can be emptied, and the more water can be captured.
As Garrison goes on to explain, states such as Georgia, Virginia and Oregon already permit the indoor use of captured rainwater. And then there's that special, special place called San Francisco. Writes Garrison: "In the absence of statewide authorization, one of the few cities to permit the use of captured rainwater for indoor, non-potable applications is the city of San Francisco, which had to engineer a memorandum of understanding between its Public Utilities Commission, Department of Building Inspection, and Department of Public Health to permit the practice." And although I'm unsure if the indoor use or rainwater is kosher or not in Los Angeles, the use of rain barrels for landscaping purposes is most certainly encouraged — in 2009, the city gave away 600 of them, free of charge, through the L.A. Rainwater Harvesting Program.
Do you live in an area where the indoor use of harvested rainwater is permitted/encouraged? Californians, what's your take on the proposed bill? If it does get the greenlight would you consider installing a system that would allow for you to use rainwater to flush your toilet?

personally i do between 1-8 reps for each, varying it up every now and then. usually 4-6 range though.
i did heavy 3x3 for a while, and let me tell you, if you're doing it right it beats the hell out of your body. make sure you eat and rest enough and you'll do fine
again, not the point. i'm talking about the big picture here. notice the emphasized word "could", and the strategically placed word "theoretically"
ok, i used chalk today and nobody complained :ninja:
it sure does make a difference. no more slippery hands... glad i got some. thanks for the replies everyone

its no big deal but i really wish they kept the format they used in vista with the network icon in the system tray.
flashing for network activity and lil globe thing to say you have internet access.
i dont like this new icon with the wierd plug thing.
is there anyway i can change it? or atleast have it flashing when theres network activity?
Re: Windows 7 Network Icon
I wish I had it back too. I miss it from XP. From what I understand, even the one in Vista didn't blink accurately with usage the way the one in XP did. Dunno why Microsoft got rid of it. It was pretty useful to me.

Re: Windows 7 Network Icon
Just tried it. That program is buggy as hell. Couldn't get it to run. Generated the same error message (below) each time I tried to install and then it would just sit there in the taskbar not blinking and not monitoring anything (totally dead). Looks like it would have done the trick if it was stable.

The artists push the boundaries of interdisciplinary methods, reflecting on contemporary reality through the means of sound, action, object, text and form.
Together the artists dislocate the materials already detached from everyday reality and create a new perspective which is awkward, alien and uncanny within the exhibition space.
:mentalKLINIK have created works for Le Méridien Istanbul Etiler and designed the first ever Illy art collection cup in partnership with Le Méridien. Their key card series can be found in Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.
