Lyle Hosts Foundation Event







On September 3rd over 50 participants gathered at Lyle's new Activity Center for a chance to share their community's Horizons success stories to Northwest Area Foundation (NWAF) and Washington State University delegates.

Contributors from both Klickitat and Skamania counties attended the meeting that highlighted each community's grassroots projects. The Horizons communities in partnership with WSU Extension have been working together with funding from the NWAF to help reduce poverty and increase prosperity in rural communities throughout both counties.

Many outstanding programs have been initiated that range in theme and issue, but all have contributed to improving the quality of life for the people living in our area.

The campaign to preserve the old elementary school building and park in order to convert it into Lyle's new Activity Center was showcased at the event as one of Lyle's current Horizons efforts.
