August 2017 Director’s Message

Dear Members,

We hope your summer is treating you splendidly! As you read this, we’ve just finished celebrating our wonderful volunteers at our Luau, but by the time we printed, we weren’t able to share the grand news, so look for the volunteer of the year info in next month’s newsletter! This event is so near and dear to our hearts. We couldn’t be a thriving Center without the outpouring of time, effort, and love that each of our volunteers provide. We’re beyond blessed to have so many wonderful people who serve so generously, and we thank them for allowing us just this great day of celebration to honor them!

We love the month of August, because our State takes advantage of our short summer season and packs it FULL of activities! We’re following their lead, we have a great line up of outings this month; you can join us for a great summer day at the Oregon Gardens, celebrate Senior Day at the County Fair, or hit up the Casino with us ALL this month!

While we understand the possible inconvenience, after much thought, we have decided to take two days off for all of the team to attend a leadership conference on August 10th and 11th. The Center will be closed for these two days. Training opportunities don’t come around like this very often, and I feel that the best way for us to expand our knowledge and be better at our positions is to commit to constant learning. This team building and team elevating workshop will be something that unites and develops us to provide a better Center for years to come. I thank you for your understanding in this investment of our team that will grow us to do a better job of investing in you!

See you at the Center!

Cecily Rose
Director
