Library Needs Old Photos

November 20, 2020 By Kathy Winters Leave a Comment

The Ridgefield Community Library Building Team is looking for photographs showcasing Ridgefield’s history. We’re also extremely interested in any photographs of the dedication, ribbon cutting, or grand opening of the Ridgefield Community Center.

We would scan the photos and return them. They would be handled very carefully and are not damaged by the process. Each image is then digitally cleaned up and sized. We plan to use selected images on certain windows of the new Ridgefield Community Library. An example of the end product comes from the Rifle Public Library in Colorado, shown above. Note the etching on the lower window.

Please stop by the Ridgefield Community Library’s temporary location (228 Simons Street) if you have photos. Feel free to email the librarian with questions at smcgill@fvrl.org.

Make a Difference Month

October 28, 2020 By Kathy Winters Leave a Comment

The City of Ridgefield and Ridgefield First Saturdays is launching our first ever Make A Difference Month starting with Make A Difference Day Saturday, November 7th and ending with Hometown Celebration on Saturday, December 5th.

Make A Difference month is a community wide challenge with weekly themes and activities that emphasize the importance of caring for and appreciating our community. Each week will have its own theme, activities, and challenges. Complete all the challenges and receive a “I Made A Difference” certificate and thank you card from Ridgefield Mayor Don Stose. Weekly themes include: Stewardship, Small Acts of Kindness, Gratitude, and Community Connection. All activities and content can be found on our website, at bit.ly/RIDGEFIELDCARES

We recognize how challenging the past year has been for our community, and have seen an incredible demonstration of resilience and community among our residents and businesses. The Ridgefield community has stepped up to the plate to help one another through difficult times. With Make A Difference Month, we want to recognize and promote those actions in our community as we enter a time of year that can be tough for many. Come together with your community and Make A Difference in Ridgefield!

Make A Difference Month begins November 7th and there will be many opportunities to participate in the event throughout the month, but before then we want to ask the community for help in preparing a video. One of our weekly themes, is Gratitude, and we are asking: “What are you thankful for in Ridgefield/the Ridgefield Community?” If you have an answer to this question, and are willing to be featured in a video produced by the City of Ridgefield for Make A Difference Month, please email Events@ci.ridgefield.wa.us by Monday, October 26th for information on how to participate. Ridgefield community members of ALL ages are welcome to participate.
