These important Kevin Gorman, and measures reveal “what” we do, but they don’t explain “why” we do it. A recent Eric Lichtenthaler letter from a member helps answer that question. Photo: Michael Horodyski / mjhpdx.com Since I will be 80 years old in less than six months, this may be the last time I can help Friends. I was born on a hill just north of Stevenson in 1935 . . . I cannot begin to describe my idyllic life there! An orphaned fawn we fed from our hands . . . The cold, running creek that spewed out of a hillside where I spent endless hot summer days. . . As a member, you invest in Friends of the Columbia Gorge, and your investment represents your head and your heart. Thoughtful consideration (the head) relates to the organization itself: is it effective, well run, and prudently managed? Values and emotion (the heart) connect to the mission: does the cause I’m supporting resonate deeply with me? We’re happy to report that, over the past year, your investments yielded great dividends. The threat of coal trains in the Gorge has been greatly reduced, nearly 200 acres have been added to our land trust for protection, and our first Gorge Towns to Trails trail opened to the public. More successes are outlined in the following pages of this report. Our member closed her letter this way: I have visited Canada, Mexico, Spain, Italy, France and Gibraltar, but it is the Gorge that lives in my heart – the NATURAL Gorge. That is the essence of “why” Friends of the Columbia Gorge exists: the Columbia Gorge lives in all of our hearts. Friends of the Columbia Gorge exists because of a place – a magnificent, magical place unlike anywhere else on the planet. And we exist because of you: people from five to 105 who find joy, inspiration, and meaning in exploring and preserving the one-of-a-kind wonder that is the Columbia Gorge.
