Ruth Pratt Quotations

We're getting close. We hope to wind up the campaign before the groundbreaking in May.

We desperately need the space. It will be open to everyone. Facilities like the Kroc Center aren't publicly owned and they're fee-based.

We are thrilled to be given this recognition and support from such an internationally prominent and highly respected philanthropic organization. The process is highly competitive and rigorous.

Time is of the essence. The city is committed to beginning the project in May to avoid additional escalation in construction costs.

We are giving everyone the opportunity to pay their pledges over a five-year period to make their investment as affordable as possible.

In only their second year of operation, Northwest Specialty Hospital's generous support of educational projects in our community demonstrates extraordinary commitment to life-long learning in North Idaho. Along with the $100,000 challenge grant awarded to the library project by the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation last week, NWSH is providing a great catalyst in our efforts to raise the total $1.4 million dollars needed to complete this important public resource.
