North Valley Commu- nity Foundation announced this year's Annie B's Com- munity Drive beat all ex- isting records, bringing in $1,570,363 during its eight- week campaign. This year Annie B's in- cluded 271 participating charities and charitable funds, and engaged thou- sands of donations from in- dividuals, families and busi- nesses. This grant program has successfully demonstrated the power of an entire re- gion coming together to make a difference. By creating a percent- age grant pool that adds money to donations made during the campaign, An- nie B's encourages donors to maximize their invest- ments while engaging in a region-wide initiative. This grant program sup- ports charitable causes across the board — from public safety to education, and the environment to ser- vices for older adults. This year the Annie B's percentage grant added 7 percent to each dona- tion made during the cam- paign. During Annie B's eight year history it has gener- ated more than $8 million for local charities in Butte, Glenn, Colusa and Tehama counties and charitable funds dedicated to efforts around the globe. The Annie B's grant funds are made possible through an anonymous do- nation of $500,000, which is distributed $50,000 per year during a 10-year pe- riod. NVCF then raises monies from local sponsors to match this amount with an annual goal of distribut- ing $100,000. Contact NVCF to be- come a sponsor for next year's grant pool or to make a gift to the Annie B's Support Fund. nvcf@ nvcf.org. ANNIEB'S Co mm un it y dr iv e ra is ed mo re t ha n $1 .5 m ill io n COURTESYPHOTO GerberSchoolkickedoffRedRibbonWeekwithaperformancefromformerGerber student Danny Munoz on Monday. RED RIBBON WEEK ALUMNUS RETURNS In an effort to improve community outreach and strengthen California's in- terregional transportation system, Caltrans is seek- ing ideas from the public on how to improve trans- portation between regions of the state. "California's population is projected to grow to 50 million people in the next decade and a half, high- lighting the need to not only preserve existing transportation infrastruc- ture but also to invest in new transit modes that move ever-increasing num- bers of people and goods," said Caltrans Director Mal- colm Dougherty. "We're asking the public to share ideas about how to im- prove interregional travel in a way that is safe, sus- tainable, integrated and ef- ficient." The purpose of the forthcoming Interregional Transportation Strategic Plan is to identify the best ways to invest in interre- gional transportation cor- ridors to strengthen Cali- fornia's economy and liv- ability while reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. Regions around the state have been adopting new sustainable communities' strategies that shift invest- ments to provide greater mobility choice. Mean- while, the state must seek to improve interregional travel in a sustainable way that integrates well with these regional strategies. For highways, the state will apply a complete streets approach where highways are designed to improve all modes of transportation. For rail, the state will explore im- proved integration of rail systems, including the high-speed rail system, to better serve interregional travelers. Caltrans will also look at the interregional systems of trails and bike- ways, and where those can be improved to support ac- tive transportation. A recently released Cal- ifornia Household Travel Survey revealed that, state- wide, 23 percent of house- hold trips are made via non-car transportation, more than double than 10 years ago. As part of the upcoming public outreach, Caltrans will host five public work- shops and a webinar to so- licit input and feedback on how to draft a modern transportation plan for in- terregional corridors. After incorporating public feed- back, Caltrans will write a draft document for further public comment in Febru- ary 2015. There will be a work- shop 3:30-5:30 p.m. Mon- day, Nov. 17 at the Caltrans District 2 Office, West Venture Lassen Training Room, 1031 Butte St. #118, in Redding. Additional information can be found at www.dot. ca.gov/hq/tpp/offices/oasp/ itsp.html, where the public can also submit written comments and ask ques- tions.
