From our weekly issue dated December 19, 2007
A community memorial fund raising effort to honor former Cave Junction Mayor Tom Green is planned for Wednesday, Dec. 19 in Ken Mann Memorial Gym at Illinois Valley High School beginning at 6:30 p.m.
An open mic setting will give folks an opportunity to speak or offer a song. Those interested in performing should contact De Spellman, who has coordinated the effort. She can be reached at 415-1380.
Many people have expressed a desire to remember Green’s legacy, and to that end, efforts are being made to set up a scholarship fund. The ‘Tom Green Good Kids Scholarship,’ Spellman said, will be available to graduating seniors from Illinois Valley High School who have turned their lives around. Collection cans will be seen at various businesses.
Also a fund for funeral expenses has been established at Sterling Savings Bank; donations can be made there.
A memorial service also will be held at 9 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 22 at Bridgeview Community Church.
