Why?

The South Benton Advisory Committee (SoBAC) in collaboration with the United Way of Linn, Benton & Lincoln Counties is excited to announce it’s 2022 online auction, enhancing its endowment from the Margaret Hull Foundation. SoBAC, with its goal of investing in the community, has been supporting south Benton County and the Monroe area through target investments based on the needs assessment identified in its strategic plan.

Some of the investments made over the years include support of the Monroe Health and Wellness Fairs, Art in the Park, the Old Mill Center Relief Nursery Satellite at the Monroe Grade School and support of the AFRANA and South Benton Recreation Alliance project with the installment the Safe Routes to School pathway crosswalk/pedestrian light on Orchard St. in Monroe.

Simply put, it's about making our community a better place to live: better for our citizens, our kids, and our elders!!

We all have a stake in each other's success. We all benefit when a child succeeds in school, when someone finds a job that sustains a family, or when more people get quality, affordable health care.

Cheers,

Neil and Sue Shay/Bluebird Hill Cellars
