Sandy Community Campus (Tanya Richardson)

Clean up of the Aquatic Center began this month with having current Mavericks staff, Friends of the Sandy pool members, and the school district take any items they would like.  Some items were also donated to the Sandy Historical Society.  Brian Galovan was hired to assist with pool maintenance as well as work half time with parks.  He has done an incredible job of clean up and disposal of one full 30 yd dumpster of unnecessary items.  Concrete work has also been completed to removed the disintegrating diving board platform, unsafe slide, and the removal of the front desk.  Additional contractors are set to start working on ADA upgrades, electrical updates, and boiler maintenance.

Senior Center (Tanya Richardson)

Seniors enjoyed several fabulous trips this month including the Laika exhibit at the Portland Art Museum, the Bush House museum, and a hike to Mt. Tabor. The Community Center partnered with the library and did a senior egg hunt throughout the library. We had close to over 30 seniors and the trolley picked them up at the senior center and transported them to the library.  It was a huge success.

New class began with our own city councilor  Olga Gerberg who is teaching a Moves and Grooves class on Fridays at 11:00.  This class gets your body moving by combining fitness, dance and Zumba.
