July was another great month at the Community/Senior Center. We welcomed the sun and warmer weather.
Carol had an amazing turn out for our Kids Events During Mountain Festival. The Mt. Festival Pet Show had approximately 34 participants. The Mt. Festival Bike Derby had approximately 53 attendees. Last but not least, the Mt. Festival kids parade had a whopping 235 approximate attendees. Way to go Carol! John, Olga, Marc, and Rochelle all helped with these events.
Skyhawks camps had 49 kids total for the month of July. The camps varied from basketball, soccer and a multi sport camp for younger kids.
July 30th was the first Movie in the park for this summer. It was a hot one but 75 people showed up to see Encanto. Timberline and Hometown Lenders 2 of our sponsors showed up and had giveaways and information about their businesses.
Marc had a lot of fun on our senior outings in July. The Saylers Dine out was the most popular and sold out. The Mystery drive to Cascade Locks was a big hit and mostly full. The group celebrated with ice cream afterwards. The Hidden Falls Hike was another popular sign up and the group beat the heat for that outing. Marc also took 2 ladies on a mini-golf trip and out to lunch.
Marc also stayed late and set up chairs for the seniors to sit outside the Center for the Mountain Festival Parade. A great time was had by all.
For July, we delivered 1367 Meals on Wheels.
John was busy in July. He negotiated with the county on our Meals on Wheels reimbursement rate. He and Carol worked on our Fall recreation guide and it’s now being printed. John led and conducted first and second round interviews for our open Recreation Coordinator position. We also finalized our departments Mission and Vision statement under Johns guidance.
The whole team worked together on starting our Cost Recovery process at the end of July.
Olga has been busy with continued Medicare support and general referrals. She also worked on getting Meals on Wheels reassurance calls done.
