Gem Community Committee
Hagerman IDEA has been appointed by the Mayor and City Council to function as Hagerman's Gem Community Committee. IDEA will ensure that the annual requirements necessary to maintain the community's active status in the Gem Community Program are met each year.

Meetings
Normally IDEA meets at 6 P.M. on the second Monday of each month at the Snake River Grill Meeting Room located in Frog's Landing, at the corner State Street (US Highway 30) and Hagerman Avenue. All meetings are open to the public and citizens are encouraged to participate in the Gem Community portion of the meetings.

Fund-Raising
"Blues in the Park" is our annual music festival and the primary focus for annual contributions. We are currently working on our seventh annual Blues in the Park event. We include sponsor's names on our Blues Poster and in the event program, list our sponsors on a sponsor's web page and provide hyperlinks to a sponsors website if they wish. Check out the Blues page for more information.
