We are overjoyed and very thankful. Several years ago, Corbin set up an account with INWCF so that members could make direct donations to the foundation to secure Corbin’s future. All you have to do is go to INWCF.org, click on the “Give now” button on the right hand top, select Corbin on the drop down menu, and then enter payment information. For legacy support, please consult http://inwcf.org/give/ digital-tools-for-donors-advisors and also talk to your tax attorney or financial advisor so that you will make a good decision and avoid paying unnecessary taxes. If you have enjoyed the Center, please help secure its future by donating to INWCF and to Corbin directly. Either way, your support will be much appreciated and will make a definite difference.

Nancy was born in Spokane and grew up on a wheat farm in Readan, WA. She attended schools in Readan where she graduated high school and then attended WSU. Nancy taught school for 35 years—32 years at Fairchild Elementary on the AFB. She keeps busy with her hobbies of photography, tennis and gardening. She is a mother of three and grandmother of five. Nancy has been a Corbin member and volunteer for six years. She is a primary photographer at Corbin events. She and Bill attend various theatres in town—Civic and Modern Theatres. They are big fans of Paul Ruch and Judy Albrecht (our very own Corbin Players). Thanks so much, Nancy, for being Corbin’s photographer. We appreciate all you do. Virginia Chapman, Volunteer Coordinator. Our very own Paul Ruch wrote a play about Eleanor Roosevelt which gives insight into her life, work, and thoughts. In the play, Judith Albrecht plays Eleanor and Paul is the reporter, interviewing her. This is a play that the whole family can enjoy because it brings a historical person to life, something that is often missing in history lessons.

ATTENTION ALL NEW & LONG TIME CORBIN MEMBERS By Carole Brown, Auction Chair Summer is here and fall is just around the corner. That means it will soon be time for Corbin’s auction. We are asking each member to bring one item or more to the Center for the October auction, no later than September 16, 2016. We know you all want to help, but just don’t know how to. Here are some suggestions: 1. You can start by bringing in an item or two suitable for the auction (no clothes). 2. We need your time to help organize and run it. There is a lot of behind the scenes work to do. We know people want to help—they may just need to know what to do. 3. We only need you for an hour or two. Many hands make a light load and we can’t just rely on a few members. Corbin is over a 1,000 members strong, where are all of you? I have chaired at least 4 auctions for Corbin. Now I am asking the members to step up and help us. This is our 14th year and we want this one to be over the TOP. We can do it with everyone’s help.
