HUMBOLDT AREA FOUNDATION DONOR YEARBOOK 2012 2013 “Help your brother’s boat - Proverbacross and lo your boat has reached the shore.” The staff at Humboldt Area Foundation are inspired and humbled daily by the resiliency and generosity of our fellow community members. Their actions reflect their hearts and their humanity. The scholarship recipients who overcome enormous obstacles to break out of poverty, the mothers in Smith River who lobbied the Del Norte Board of Supervisors to provide recreational activities for their children, the widow who started a fund to support others who share the goals and passions of her spouse of 70 years and the volunteers who spay and neuter pets in homeless camps – these are some of the people with whom we create a better world. There are hundreds more like them who look to Humboldt Area Foundation for assistance in fulfilling their dreams for themselves and for us all. Together, their actions are broad, bold, precise and visionary moving us all towards a better version of the world. Lyn Risling’s Che’emyach ik Ishyaat Imshirihraavish As a recipient of this yearbook, it is likely (Spring Salmon You Must Shine Upriver Quickly) that you have inspired us with your actions. We thank you for the way in which you make life better here and we look forward to continuing this journey with you.
