I always look forward to this Director’s note most! The reason is simple and beyond profound: We are thankful to be a part of this amazing thing called the Center, and we are so thankful to know you! We help an average of 1,300 recipients each year and all of them are so very important to us. One day I’d love to write a book (with all the names changed of course) telling the stories of love, grace, compassion, and beauty that I get to witness each day at the Center. I’m insanely grateful that I have been written into the story of the Center that came to fruition back in 1981, the same year I was born. Coincidence? I’d like to think not! I adore that this Center continues to be a place where people feel at home. Where they feel safe and warm and welcome. A place where you can hear music, laughter, and all things of joy. As we’ve settled into Fall and prepare for Winter, we are noticing higher traffic at the Center and we encourage it! We’ll be sure to always have the coffee brewing and snacks galore! We’re still in the midst of a busy fundraising season! Entertainment Books are still available, and November 1st kicks off our Willamette Valley Pie Company fundraiser! Join us for our Holiday Bazaar on Saturday, November 12th. It is one of our most attended events and it’s a community-wide favorite! Wishing you a beautiful Thanksgiving! May you know just how thankful we are for you! Overflowing with Thanks, Cecily Rose Director

Director’s Message Dear Members, Happy Thanksgiving! I always look forward to this Director’s note most! The reason is simple and beyond profound: We are thankful to be a part of this amazing thing called the Center, and we are so thankful to know you! We help an average of 1,300 recipients each year and all of them are so very important to us. One day I’d love to write a book (with all the names changed of course) telling the stories of love, grace, compassion, and beauty that I get to witness each day at the Center. I’m insanely grateful that I have been written into the story of the Center that came to fruition back in 1981, the same year I was born. Coincidence? I’d like to think not! I adore that this Center continues to be a place where people feel at home. Where they feel safe and warm and welcome. A place where you can hear music, laughter, and all things of joy. As we’ve settled into Fall and prepare for Winter, we are noticing higher traffic at the Center and we encourage it! We’ll be sure to always have the coffee brewing and snacks galore! We’re still in the midst of a busy fundraising season! Entertainment Books are still available, and November 1st kicks off our Willamette Valley Pie Company fundraiser! Join us for our Holiday Bazaar on Saturday, November 12th. It is one of our most attended events and it’s a community-wide favorite! Wishing you a beautiful Thanksgiving!

Presentation SHIBA

Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance

Thursday, November 10th 11am-12pm Presentation

12:30-3pm Meetings by Appointment

The SHIBA program uses trained community volunteers to help older adults and persons with disabilities understand their health insurance benefits. Volunteers work one-on-one with those currently enrolled in Medicare and those who will soon be eligible for Medicare to increasing beneficiaries’ knowledge about benefits selection, billing issues, and appeals. Volunteers also provide assistance to beneficiaries during the Medicare open enrollment process. If you’d like to meet with SHIBA for a one-on-one appointment,

please contact: Jodine: 503-655-8269

Jodine will help you set up an appointment and may be able to answer any immediate questions you have. We hope you can make this important presentation!
