Pictured here are Emily Bagott, Paige Collier, Emmy Lou Gregg and MaKenzie Collier (not pictured is Emily Perkins) at their lemonade stand at the Palouse Bluegrass Festival.

The project started with an iced tea stand in Emily Perkins' playhouse, and continued to selling cold drinks at Bagott's yard sale and then at the Bluegrass Festival. So far the girls have contributed more than $300 to the fund for a building they look forward to many years of using.

Scott Beeson, president, and Marie Dymkoski, fundraising chair, of the center accept a $1000 check from Paul Kimmell of Avista Utilities.

Members of Palouse Round Table Club donated $5,000 towards the Community Center. Round Table donates to the community through contributions to Palouse Arts Council and other school and community projects. Club members work year-round on craft projects to sell at the annual Craft Sale and Luncheon - the club's major fundraiser.
