Chiloquin Visions in Progress (CVIP) is delighted to announce the 20th-anniversary celebration of the Chiloquin Community Center, a cornerstone of the community since its grand opening in 2004. The milestone will be marked with a commemorative event during our Monthly BINGO Night on Thursday, June 6, from 6-8pm at the center at 140 First St., Chiloquin, Oregon.
Twenty years ago, the dream of a dedicated space for the community was realized, thanks to volunteers’ unwavering support and donors’ generosity. The 13,000-square-foot facility was constructed with $1.7 million raised from donations and grants, including significant contributions from the Jeld-Wen Foundation, Meyer Memorial Trust, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, the Ford Foundation, and the Collins Foundation, among others. The Chiloquin Community Center was designed by Neal Huston Architects of Bend and opened its doors for the first time on June 11, 2004.
Since its opening, the Chiloquin Community Center has been more than just a building. It has been a vibrant hub for various activities and services, a place where the community comes together. It houses the Chiloquin Branch of the Klamath County Library, Two Rivers Arts Gallery, offices, and community meeting rooms, providing a versatile location for community activities and services. The center, operated by Chiloquin Visions in Progress, a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in Chiloquin through community-driven initiatives, has truly become the heart of our community.
We cordially invite you to join us in celebrating this remarkable milestone for what has become the heart of Chiloquin. Come and enjoy an exciting bingo night, a testament to the vibrant community spirit that has made this center possible. Refreshments will be provided, and we look forward to sharing this special evening with you.
