Sisters shelter is
seeking board members snapshot
The Sisters Cold Weather
Shelter and Homeless
Coalition is seeking experi-
enced, committed and pas-
sionate community members
to form its board of directors.
The Sisters Cold Weather
Shelter has been a Sisters
community success story.
Halfway into their first month
of operation, the shelter is
currently serving 12 guests
each night. These efforts
have brought together hun-
dreds of community members
with the intention to offer
safety and security for those
in the Sisters community in
need.
With interest in fundrais-
ing, application for non-
profit status and more on the
horizon, the coalition seeks
an experienced and engaged
board to lead with inten-
tion and offer direction for
the future of this community
movement.
Those who have a pas-
sion for service, a heart for
the Sisters homeless commu-
nity and experience serving
on a board or committee are
invited to a board selection
meeting set for Thursday,
January 26, 3:30 to 5 p.m. at
Sisters Westside Church, 442
Trinity Way.
If you are interested in
joining the board, send an

• Free sand and sandbags
are available in the park-
ing lot at City Hall for any-
one concerned about flood-
ing on their property as the
snow melts. Individuals
must fill their own sand-
bags.
• Compass Commercial
has been selected by the
Deschutes National Forest
as the real estate broker to
act as the representing bro-
kerage firm for the sale of
approximately 66 acres of the
Sisters Ranger District site
off Highway 20 in Sisters.
The property is partitioned
into three parcels and is
offered as one or more par-
cels. The highest and best
use is generally considered to
be a mix of commercial and
residential. There are more
than 2,000 feet of highway
frontage.
• Work on the con-
tract with Knife River for
the Highway 20 round-
about is being conducted
this month, with work on
the roundabout to begin in
February. Public Works
and ODOT are hopeful the
snow will have receded by
then.

Thankfully someone
has turned off the snow
machine, enough is enough!
But unlike many others, I
did not have to go outside
in it. I just watched from my
cozy mobile; that is, until
my furnace quit and it was
37 degrees inside. So much
for cozy.
Thank God, Jerry Grecco
was still going strong, as he
was 18 years ago, the first
time he fixed my furnace.
Many thanks Jerry.
As the snow continued
to pile up on my old roof, I
was reminded many times
how lucky I was to live in
Sisters, Oregon, and have
so many wonderful friends.
So for all their kindness and
help, I would like to say
Thank you:
Julie at City Hall; Dave
Vitelle of Bear Mountain
Fire, who sent his crew
twice to get the weight off
my roof; and our great fire
department who came at 6
a.m. to help with more snow
removal. Many thanks to
Bill Hull and Kent Jones
who came to help me;
Oregon Department of Fish
& Wildlife for dispatching
that poor young doe that
stayed in my carport for two
weeks with a broken hip —
she no longer suffers; the
American Red Cross who
called me (at the request
of the fire department) to
see if I needed to leave
the property because if
my roof collapsed I would
be trapped, as both exits
would be blocked. I said
thank you but Missy (my
cat) and I would stay for
now.
And to Mike Schroeder,
who cleared my driveway
twice so my caregiver could
get to me. Oh yes, that is
why I could sit up and watch
the snow pile up!
I have been recovering
from a hip replacement, so a
big thank-you and God bless
you all. I can’t wait till we
have green grass and flow-
ers, so Big Red (my car) can
try out her rebuilt engine
and my new hip.
And a special thanks to
my caregiver Angie Hoff,
who drives from Powell
Butte four days a week
to care for me through At
Home Care Group.
