SPRD offers community dinner
By Sue Stafford
Correspondent
As a way to appreciate the
community for their support
of Sisters Park & Recreation
District, the board of directors
is hosting the Community
“D-ATE” Night, an evening
of food and fun for the whole
family.
To thank the voters for
approving the SPRD levy
on the May ballot, plus to
celebrate and recognize the
people and programs that
support the entire commu-
nity of Sisters, as well as
SPRD, the board would like
the community to congregate
at Village Green Park (corner
of East Washington Avenue
and South Elm Street) on
Thursday, August 9, 6 to 8
p.m. to grab a plate and build
their own rice bowl, with a
dessert and beverage.
The evening is also a
chance to acknowledge local
opportunities to recreate,
both indoors and outdoors,
with vendor booths provid-
ing information about avail-
able programs and activities
throughout Sisters Country.
Try your hand and learn how
you can participate at SPRD
with activity and information
stations on their programs,
providing fun and games for
all ages – tai chi, Zumba, disc
golf, and ping-pong, among
others. Parents will be able to
register their children for fall
sports.
Board Treasurer Peggy
Tehan added, “The dinner,
which we’re calling D-ATE
Night, will encourage resi-
dents of all ages to Congreg-
ATE, Recre-ATE, Particip-
ATE, Appreci-ATE and Grab
a Pl-ATE. We want this event
to be a very big thank you
to the community for sup-
porting SPRD’s local option
levy and to recognize what
an important role SPRD,
and recreation of all kinds,
play in Sisters. We want to
encourage residents of Sisters
Country to be active — take
advantage of the programs
offered by SPRD and the rec-
reational opportunities that
surround us.”
The Anvil Blasters and
the Sisters ukulele group will
provide music. The SPRD
board will be greeting, serv-
ing, and providing informa-
tion. Look for them in their
matching blue polo shirts.
The entire event, including
dinner, is free, but an RSVP
by August 6 is required to
help with planning. Call

Sisters Habitat is taking applications
Finding affordable hous-
ing in Central Oregon can
be problematic for many
families. Sisters Habitat for
Humanity is one organization
that can help. It’s not a quick
fix, but for those who qual-
ify the end result provides a
family with a stable home
financed with an affordable
mortgage. Sisters Habitat is
dedicated to providing afford-
able and energy-efficient
housing to folks living and/or
working in the Sisters School
District.
To date, 63 families have
purchased their Habitat
homes through the program.
In addition, Sisters Habitat
offers a home-repair program
for individuals who own their
own home and need assis-
tance. Some of the services
available may include roof
repair, ADA help, building
Retirement is better at
ramps and exterior paint-
ing. Applications are cur-
rently being accepted for both
programs.
Sisters Habitat for
Humanity’s criteria for selec-
tion of homeowners is based
on the family’s need for
adequate shelter, the ability
to pay a mortgage or repair
costs, and the willingness to
partner.
Homeowner families are
required to invest 500 “sweat-
equity” labor hours prior to
occupying their home.
All homes are built by
volunteers working under the
supervision of a construction
manager.
Those interested in
Habitat’s programs can review

guide and Home Repair
Guide at www.sistershabi-
tat.org/housing-programs.
