Sandy Community Campus (Tanya Richardson)

On Thursday,  Jan. 5th we received the keys for the much awaited old Cedar Ridge building and Olin Bignall Aquatic Center from OTSD.  The Sandy Community Campus project included the use of the gymnasium for the Mountain Storm basketball program through March and the pool.  The pool maintenance was taken on by Tanya with the assistance of Casey Perkins and Joe Preston.  The maintenance currently includes daily chemical readings,  balancing of pool chemicals, boiler checks, and weekly backwashing of filtration system.  Public Works is assisting with boiler checks at the Cedar Ridge school.  Mavericks will continue regular programming through the end of February.

Senior Center (Tanya Richardson)

A new functional fitness class began in January for seniors on Tuesday & Thursdays ran by Carol Cohen.  This class was added to help fill the need for some of the seniors who loss their membership at the Mt. Hood Athletic Center, due to the drop of Silver & Fit program.  This class has grown from 10 people to by the end of over 20 people and still growing.

The seniors also participated in such great trips such as a visit to Albertina Kerr, a hike to Powell Butte, trip to Spirit Mountain, and a dine out at Sayler’s Country Kitchen.  Tax season is getting ready to kick off with assistance for seniors beginning Feb. – April.
