Senior Center (Tanya Richardson)
Again this year the Senior Center conducted direct pie sales. We sold 130 pies which was 20 more then last year.  All the fruit was donated and many volunteers pitched in to mix, roll, fill, bake and bag. Proceeds benefit the local Meals-on-wheels program.

Special Events
Summer Sounds kicked off with the Wine in the Woods on Sunday, July 16th. Patrons enjoyed great food by Busy Bee Catering and wine from the Beer Den.  Two great bands kicked off the Sunday Sounds bringing energentic tunes and multi-instrumental folk music.  Performances continued throughout July and into August on Sundays. Special Thanks to Katie Murphy for helping to orchestrate all the bands and advertising. Thanks to Carol Cohen for securing sponsors and vendors for this event.

The first Movie in the Park was a great success with over 75 people enjoying Meinig park, popcorn, and the movie Sing!

Recreation

Mountain Festival Kids’ events including the pet show, bike derby, and parade were well attended, even with the heat. The kids were treated to a puppet show prior to the start of the kids parad this year. The junior talent show showcased singers, dancers, and musician in the gym at Cedar Ridge. We utilized the play shed and track at Cedar Ridge as well as the lawn at Sandy Grade for the events this year.

The Recreation Department worked with Camp Namanu to expand to offer eight weeks of camp this summer. Unfortunately, due to low enrollments we were forced to cancel most of the remaining weeks for the summer.  We hope to re-evaluate the program offering for next summer.  A new mountain biking camp was a huge success which included learning trail safety, body position, climbing and decending, and a trail ride at Sandy Ridge.

Regular summer programs such as Kinderdance, soccer, and dog training were just a few of the activities enjoyed by participants in July. Several youth feild trips were offered ths summer including a trip to Kahneeta and Trillium Lake.  The kids enjoyed swimming, kayaking, and Stand Up paddling with Carol Cohen.

Adult Coed Softball was in high gear in July. Lots of games and a fun, family-friendly, recreational atmosphere. The final tournament is Saturday, August 12th and will again be held at the Clackamas Hoodview Softball Complex.
