Richard R. Bloom, Sr. "Big R" Endowment

 

Richard "Big R" Bloom, Sr. had a bright academic future ahead of him at age 18. With a four-year scholarship in one hand and a football in the other, Richard was headed to Linfield College. His plans changed abruptly when his parents said they needed him to stay home and help with the family business, and he did.

 

Richard stayed with the family garbage business, eventually buying the company in 1959. He was a local leader and community patron, as well a national leader in his industry. Big R lived by The Golden Rule and the Cowboy Code of Ethics. He was satisfied with sealing a deal with a handshake.

 

Throughout his life Big R never lost his appreciation for educational opportunity or his belief in the value of education.  CCC students will benefit from the scholarship opportunities this endowment will provide. 

 

Metro grant supports ELC Restoration

The Environmental Learning Center is one of 27 projects that will benefit from Metro's Nature in Neighborhoods grant program. Metro recently awarded an $868,342 grant to fund site restoration at the Clackamas Community College's ELC on the Oregon City campus.

 

Metro awarded $5.2 million in capital improvement and conservation education grants to a variety of projects in the greater Portland region that reward innovation in linking natural area conservation, stewardship and community involvement. Funded by Metro's 2006 natural areas bond measure, the capital grants finance projects like building trails, buying land or making structural improvements.

 

The John Inskeep Environmental Learning Center is a five-acre site on the CCC campus at the headwaters of Newell Creek, which flows to the Willamette River through the 1800-acre Newell Creek Watershed, the largest intact green space in the Metro area. The ELC offers environmental education classes for schools, along with activities for families and children.
