Wednesday, March 22, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon SISTERS GRO: New scholarships are available to students Kedt Boles takes over reids as Youdg Life Director By Rongi Yost Correspondent Continued from page 5 level of personal and com- munity involvement,” the Willitts said. Their family businesses, FivePine Lodge and Shibui Spa, have benefited from the community in gen- eral, but especially having SHS students work at both facilities. The scholarship initially was going to be established for students wanting to get into the health field, but as Zoe and Bill understood more about the needs of individual students, they could see that a more general scholarship was appropriate. Sisters GRO also announced three new schol- arships: KLM Scholarship, Intel Retirees of Sisters Scholarship, and Outlaw Health Professionals Scholarship.

Kent Boles was recently selected as the new Young Life Area Director, and step- ping into the role should be easy. Boles has worked with middle school and high school students for the past 36 years in Eugene, Pleasant Hill, and he even ran a skate- board ministry in Portland for three years. For the last 13 years Boles has been involved in youth ministry in Sisters. Boles has always loved working with students and is excited about the new oppor- tunity. Kent is planning for a Young Life fall kick-off. He plans to have weekly meet- ings for high school stu- dents, and a large activity for middle school students once a month, such as the tram- poline park, mini Olympics, and world-record night. The main focus of Young Life for both middle school and high school students is summer camp, which is held at Washington Family Ranch in Antelope. Join Us For A Chef’s Dinner!

As with any organization, there is always a need for volunteers. “We are looking for peo- ple to get involved at the committee level. This means helping with the planning, not necessarily being with the students, because some people are intimidated and afraid of teenagers,” Boles said with a grin. Volunteer leaders are also in demand for the weekly meetings with the high school students and the monthly activities for the middle-schoolers.
