Recreation (Sarah Richardson)

The Recreation Department was busy wrapping up summer programs including camps and adult Softball, and programming and publishing the Recreation Guide for the fall.

Code to the Future was a great hit this summer which themed around the Minecraft Video Design.  Camps offered this summer included weeks at Camp Namanu, Tennis Camp and Basektball Shooting.  The community garden is in full swing with all beds rented again this season.  Dogs and their owners continue to love the Dog Park and can’t wait for Dogs Day out this summer.

Positive Touch Chiropractic were the 2018 Adult Coed Softball Champions. The Sandy Recreation League is family friendly and the 2018 champions were sponsored by a local Chiropractic business.

 

Seniors (Melissa Thompson)

The weather did not stop the seniors from enjoying the great weather of Oregon.  Trips included hikes to ZigZag Falls and Trillium Lake.  They also visited the Oregon Garden, Clackamas County Fair and rode the Canby Ferry to the Dahia Festival.

Genevieve White,  a health Coach, was a guest speaker who provided the seniors with general education and tips in regards to gastrointestinal health.

On August 31, the Community Services department celebrate Cami Henderson’s retirement as the Client Services Coordinator. Staff and patrons shared wonderful stories of how Cami has dedicated to serving our community over the last 28 years. She has provided information, support, and case management services to individuals and their families to help clients maintain their independence.
With an endless wealth of knowledge, Cami has connected hundreds of clients each year (often several times a year) to a variety of resources to ensure their needs are met. These connections are made “on the fly” as clients are often in crisis and needing immediate assistance.
