Heritage grants session set Nov. 12

Heritage Capital Projects (HCP) grants can cover up to one third the cost of eligible capital projects that preserve and interpret Washington's history and heritage. Local organizations can learn about this grant opportunity and skills to create a compelling project and a competitive application. A free workshop will be at The Center next to the library Nov. 12 from 1 to 4 p.m.

During the three-hour session, Heritage Capital Projects Manager Janet Rogerson will provide an overview of the program background, requirements and processes to prepare for a 2016 application, then facilitate a roundtable discussion on potential projects.

To register, send an e-mail listing name, organization name and contact information.
