Architerra, and Zi Spa (both Lakeside companies) attended the SK Ball on September 9th. The SK Ball is an annual fundraiser by Ronald McDonald House of the Inland Northwest. Architerra was an event sponsor and Andi B. of Zi Spa won the coveted bull riding competition and belt buckle.
Sponsorship of the event by Architerra was a continuation of support for RMCH of the Inland Northwest. Last year, Architerra donated $50,000 to Ronald McDonald House to help support the capital campaign for Northern Idaho House – a new building that opened in March 2020. Prior to this expansion, an average of fourteen families a day were on our waiting list for somewhere to stay while their children received medical treatment.
Currently, RMHC can house 64 families a night in three houses; however ongoing support is still needed. Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Inland Northwest provides temporary lodging, social and emotional support, at no charge, for families of children accessing medical services. The Spokane area is a premier medical destination and families face difficult decisions as many are unable to pay for a hotel. Instead, they have to sleep in their cars, sleep in hospital waiting rooms, or leave their hospitalized infant or child to travel home. More than half face incredible financial hardships due to loss of income(s) and mounting medical bills.
Architerra, Zi Spa, and Lakeside will continue to support this important cause. To donate or get involved, visit their site:
On Tuesday, October 11, the City of Coeur d’Alene Planning Commission met for a public hearing with the Kootenai County Land Company and the public to discuss the annexation and zoning of the Coeur Terre Master Plan Development. The commission forwarded a unanimous recommendation of approval to City Council, stating that Coeur Terre is well planned and would ‘provide much-needed housing in an appropriate area targeted for growth.’
The plan calls for a variety housing units, business space, shops, restaurants, 18 acres of public parks, 4 miles of trails, and land for two public schools. Working with community organizations, getting public feedback, and partnering with the city to understand future needs for the Coeur d’Alene area has led to an annexation application the Kootenai County Land Company is proud to submit and eager to continue to bring to fruition.
The Coeur d’Alene Press covered the hearing in an extensive story. Read the full article here.

Through Architerra, we recently sponsored a table for the annual benefit auction for the Children’s Village of Coeur d’Alene. Children’s Village is a trauma responsive safe haven, restoring trust and hope for children and families who experience abuse, neglect, or are in crisis.
The pandemic has added some extra challenges to their mission in the last few years with schools closed and in-person interactions limited. The stability provided to them by Children’s Village is crucial to their ability to adapt and overcome with a warm bed, three home-cooked meals each day and loving staff around at all times.
