The 2022-23 Rebel Basketball seasons have officially come to a close as the Lady Rebels lost a heartbreaker to the Heber Springs Lady Panthers in the Regional Tournament while the boys fell to Little Rock Christian.

The Perry’s are coming to the Music in the Mountains Theater March 5. The concert will begin at 6 p.m. and the theater will open the doors at 5 p.m. As always, the concert is by donation, or love offering and we invite everyone to attend. This is our first Southern Gospel group of this year to come to the Music in the Mountains Theater.

In last week's column, we looked at the evolution of philanthropy and how donor giving has changed from the 16th century to the present day. We also looked at the philanthropic value of a nonprofit organization and how donors ascribe value to nonprofit organizations. Moreover, we looked at how donors' values influence collaboration, as by working together, nonprofit organizations achieve a more significant impact and are more efficient. Finally, we looked at how innovation comes from collaboration, and in collaboration, there is an opportunity to build relationships, all of which led to more effective and sustainable solutions to social problems. This week we will consider collaborative stakeholders and how to identify them for a community initiative.
