Mountain Storm season kicking off with early season events and open gyms. Currently 212 kids playing. Community is really enjoying the expanded access to the Cedar Ridge gym. Parents and kids shared gym time together during a Mountain Storm Open Gym. Fun to see everyone having a good time and being active.

Senior Center (Tanya Richardson)

The seniors enjoyed the wonderful weather this month by going on some great hikes to Champoeg State Heritage area & Salmon Creek.  Our new Driver, Dani Van Dusen has made a great addition to the staff team at the senior center.  She has had many great compliments in regards to her friendly and helpful demeanor.  The Oregon Historical Society and Northwest Senior Theatre were just a few of the great trips Dani was able to enjoy with the seniors.

In October, Cami Henderson (Client Services Coordinator) worked with Seniors to apply for the Energy Assistance Program. She assisted 91 seniors to submit applications for assistance with energy costs for the coming winter months.  The staff celebrated Halloween by putting on the annual  traditional skit for all the seniors.  This year the theme was our own rendition of the classic “Sound of Music”.  Thanks to Muna, Lucy, Andi who helped with this years presentation.
