Caroleana:

The month of February was full of planning.  

Caroleana had over 200  senior related calls.  This month the center had 2 new MOW clients & 2 reassessments; which involves home visits with each client.   Caroleana further offered and assisted each household with other available resources. 

Energy Assistance – In February,  the winter heating program for Clackamas County EA continued and we submitted 9 applications. 

 Mt. Hood Hospice presented the last class in the Grief series.   

A lot of planning went into the March for Meals Campaign.  Caroleana finalized flyers, coordinated dinner donations for D31 Foundation, and finalized the Senior Dinner flyer. Also Caroleana went out and about town to get restaurant and cafe’ partners to support the campaign.  Caroelana went to 18 businesses and was able to secure 6 restaurants to participate.  Also, Caroleana reached out to business partners to help make baskets to raffle for the fundraising campaign.  Embold bank, Mt. Hood Senior Solutions, Mt. Hood Adult Day Center, Prestige Cinema, Next Adventure, are all local businesses that are participating and supporting the fundraising efforts.  

Started the planning for the Senior Resource Fair in May.  

One important training that Caroleana participated in was the QPR Gatekeeper Training: Question. Persuade. Refer.  The main topic for this training was suicide prevention.
