4th of July Senior BBQ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 3rd, the Center hosted a Senior BBQ. We had over 50 seniors register for this event. It was a beautiful day and the whole team chipped into to plan, organize, and execute this event. The seniors love being able to gather again here at the Center for a meal. Highlights included the baked beans, watermelon and fresh strawberry shortcake for dessert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mountain Festival Activities: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mt. Festival started the day after the fourth with the Pet Show on
Wednesday, Thursday was the Bike Derby, and Friday was the kids
Parade. Thank you to Clackamas County Bank for providing hotdogs to
all the kids and Scoop and Swirl free ice cream. Carol headed these events up with John, Marc, Amy and Caroleana helping out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole team gathered for the main Parade through downtown. Tiana provided the Parks Truck, Chelsea ordered the decorations and candy, and Tiana, Rochelle, John, and Chelsea decked out the truck. Tiana drove. Caroleana, Chelsea, John, and Bodhi were our safety walkers. Marc and Councilor Mayton threw candy. Rochelle and Councilor Walker carried our Parks & Recreation banner leading the group. Everyone had a blast and it felt so great to be part of such an amazing community event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy Assistance<\/strong> – This month was slower and we had 4 <\/strong>senior households that were helped with 4 of those being home visits.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month the center had 9 new MOW clients; which involves home visit with each client in and around Sandy. Caroleana further offered and assisted each household with other available resources.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July, the Change of Pace respite program grew by one client. Caroleana also allocated resources from the Aging and Disability Resource Center for Respite clients. As well, she is looking into a caregiver support group to meet at the center.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caroleana is also working on future senior classes and events at the center.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shiba is a free resource for the Clackamas county community offering help to seniors for medicare education.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second collaboration would be with Mt. Hood Hospice for future classes in the Fall on the topic of grief and why hospice.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caroleana coordinated with the Street Trust of Oregon who is looking for feedback from the senior community on pedestrian safety.\u00a0They’ll be doing a open house event here on September 26th from 10:00am-12:00pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caroleana is also planning a fundraiser for March 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Recreation Department started a brand-new Mt. Bike Camp. We had a total of 14 kids ages 6-14. Robbie Walters who is a professional local Mt. Biker took the kids to local Sandy Parks and then finished up at Sandy Ridge. The kids had a blast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
