We Miss You, Kem Marks
By Lori Boisen
In November, DMA said goodbye to its AmeriCorps VISTA member Kem Marks who transitioned his VISTA role to the Rosewood Initiative. Kem’s departure has left a large void in DMA’s organization because his contributions reached deep into the organization.
Kem began volunteering with DMA in May 2014 and later that year, was chosen as DMA’s AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer. He helped DMA move its offices to its new location and establish DMA’s internal networking and communication systems. Kem supplied much of DMA’s written advocacy and was a great messenger to DMA’s businesses. Many of those business owners have asked about Kem this past month.

Reward Yourself! Reward DMA!
By Ann Ereline
From jam to jammies, Fred Meyer offers you one-stop shopping .... AND a way to help DMA serve your community. With each purchase, you earn points and DMA receives a percentage from Fred Meyer. PDC matches all contributions DMA receives in sponsorships and donations one-to-one up to $30,000 per year. Thus, you can double your contributions.
These contributions enable DMA to open its doors to many groups who cannot afford to pay for the space such as the Myanmar Support group, ESL classes, and citizenship classes held by local groups. These contributions also help pay for the lights, water, and salary for staff that allow DMA to do the work it does.
