From the Priest River Times..
Kudos to Panhandle State Bank for choosing Ivan Benson as Priest River’s 2009 Community Star!
My boys told me that Mr. Benson was the best teacher they ever had in Priest River – he not only “knew his stuff” but presented it in a way that made them want to learn it as well. We were all sorry when he quit teaching in Priest River. The newspaper quotes Donna Jones as saying that Ivan is a “kind, compassionate, encouraging person and a good listener with a terriffic sense of humor.” That’s what made him such an outstanding teacher, as well.
On another note… I see an ad for a spaghetti feed and auction sponsored by the PR Chamber. As a fundraising copywriter, I was immediately hit by what was missing in that ad.
Does anyone know what the proceeds from this event will be used for? Just curious.

Yesterday when I went to town I started asking people if they knew what the Chamber dinner/auction was for. What I heard was that the Chamber is broke and needs operating funds.
Anyone have more information to add?
