PHILOMATH COMMUNITY SERVICES
Asks for Support this Holiday Season This week, the Philomath Food Bank seemed filled with food, but “in a month these shelves will be pretty empty,” said Dot Richardson, the organization’s manager. Jeff Lamb, president of Philomath Community Services, said the nonprofit is helping more people. “We’re here every week, doing what we can,” he said. During this holiday season the Philomath Community Services is again helping many of our neighbors who lack the basics here in Philomath. The need for supplemental food and clothing has more than doubled in just the last two years while prices have gone up and USDA has cut their support. Please join us in making this holiday season special and enjoyable for all of our neighbors. Here is how you can help. Philomath Community Services fund raising letter Thank you. |

It was officially lit on December 2nd to great fan-fare in front of 100's of Philomath area citizens. The lighting, preceeded by a joint Christmas choir of members of Philomath churches, highlights the almost 2 year long effort spearheaded by the Philomath Chamber, to replace majestic Sequoia tree removed for the couplet. Now, everyone in Philomath and those passing through the city can enjoy the fruits of the commnunity wide project as they view this live, lighted tree that will grace the front of the museum property for generations to come.

PHILOMATH CHRISTMAS TREE CHALLENGE
October, 2008 The Philomath Chamber is sponsoring a business challenge to raise the remaining funds to replace the Philomath Christmas tree due to be planted in November, 2008. We are coordinating the effort of Chamber members (and other interested citizens) to match funding in the Buy a Bulb campaign. Shonnards is starting the challenge by matching customer donations toward the tree up to $500. We are encouraging Chamber member businesses to follow our lead. Regardless of the size of your business, matching funds from customer donations will show your commitment toward this important community goal. Shonnard's Nursery Florist and Landscape started a business challenge to help replace the historic Philomath Christmas Tree, which had to be removed to complete the new couplet. Contact either person listed below for more info and so your business can be listed on the Chamber Challenge page (coming soon).
