BandonCares

Organized to help Bandon Nonprofits to:

• Learn about current Bandon area projects, organizations and collaborations.

• Network with community organizations, stakeholders and potential partners.

• Hear about new initiatives and opportunities for training and recruiting.

• Celebrate the accomplishments of the Bandon Area Community.

• Continue participation in the Ford Institute Leadership Program.

• Support the development of a nonprofit community network.

We will be meeting at least semi-annually to support BandonCares collaboration goals.

The next BandonCares general meeting is in the planning stages.  It will be in the fall, 2010 probably between mid-October and mid-November. 

In November 2008, a BandonCares Meeting and Volunteer Recruitment event was held.  It's purpose was to:

• Improve communication and collaboration among leaders and volunteers of Bandon's nonprofit organizations

• Showcase nonprofits to the Bandon Community

• Encourage volunteering.

A committee is now formed to continue this effort and hold semi-annual meetings.
