4.1 Collaboration * <br />4.2 Promoting Local <br />*bustness <br />4.3 Host Hotel* <br />We are members of the Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce and CAMAH <br />(Cascade Association of Museums, Arts & History). We were honored to be <br />nominated as one of the Kittatas County Chamber's best four Non-Profits. We think <br />this validates our hard work in raising the awareness of our mission. <br />We parlner and collaborate with over 50 businesses and organizations from both <br />within and oulside of Kittitas County. Most of these partnerships and collaborations <br />have happened by meeting in person with the organizer or business owner. Our <br />group of volunteers have a broad reach and are deeply involved with our community <br />which allows us to establish long lasting relationships. <br />We are proud to have a strong partnership with Central Washington University's <br />Departmenl of Anthropology & Museum Studies and lheir Department of Special <br />Collections and Digital Archives. Since 2017. we have utilized students and faculty <br />to assist us with Ground Penetrating Radar and GIS mapping in Roslyn's Historic <br />Cemeteries. This padnershap has continued to strengthen ihe past 2 years with the <br />use of student inlerns to assist with archival and online research for inclusion on our <br />interactive digital kiosk localed al the Rostyn Cernetery. Students created a visitor <br />survey to be conducted this Summer and Fall at the Roslyn Cemetery providing us <br />with more in-depth data to assist them with creating an interpretive plan for us. We <br />have included some findings from this survey as an attachment to this application. <br />This past year students and faculty conducled Oral History interviews with long <br />standing members of our community to capture their stories before they are no <br />longer wilh us. A total of 31 interviews have been published to date with one more <br />planned before CWU's state funding closes. The website to view these interviews is: <br />https:lldigitalcommons.cwu.edulrrcehc_interviews/index. html <br />Networking has increased our reach to organizations outside of Kittitas County. <br />lnvolvement with the Roslyn Cemelery has also provided us wiih the unique <br />opportunity to network, cofiaborate and partner wiih several organizations located <br />outside Kittitas Couniy. <br />Last year we began conversations with 6 different local lodging with plans to add 3 <br />more. <br />2500 characler linrii <br />Desoibe how you will p.oaole lodging eslablishmelts. restairranls, and bLrsiness localed ,n Kittila]s Counlt <br />We promote our business partners by including their logos in our advertising, <br />programs, signs, posters, flyers, and banners.

At the Roslyn Cemetery we have a poster displayed year-round <br />that includes our individual donors as well as our public and corporate parlners and <br />sponsors. We have also encouraged people to utilize businesses with prizes and <br />gifts {rom those businesses (i.e. door prizes as a result of the lodging surveys). <br />Banners have also been hung up for our local sponsors at our events.
