Bonner County Senior Citizens halt building fund drive
The Bonner County Senior Citizen Council voted at a members meeting to discontinue its plan to buy a $71,000 center in Sandpoint after missing two spring deadlines for a $7,000 down payment. Chet Howell cited internal friction and failed fundraising while Center Director Peggy Clark disputed the decision, noting the fund remains active. The group had sought $20,000 in revenue sharing funds from the city, which was denied.
