A “Stuff The Purses” event helps women escaping bad circumstances
‘Stuff The Purses’
aids Saving Grace
Volunteers turned out to
<Stuff The Purses= in an event
for people who have fled
their homes due to abuse and
are staying at Saving Grace
Shelter. Saving Grace serves
all of Central Oregon.
<With the help of the won-
derful women and community
of Sisters we put together 40
purses and beach bags,= said
Karen Kassy. <We are grateful
to our sponsors who donated
necessities for the purses,
beach bags, towels and more:
Cascade Trail Stop, Barefoot
in Sisters, Ace Hardware,
Edward Jones office of Karen
Kassy, Sundance Shoes,
Bonnie Jacobs-Halousek/
Your Store, Melvin9s by
Newport Avenue Market,
and Shannon Lazarini/Salon
Centric through The Hair
Caché.

year9s effort, call 541-388-
3987 and leave a message
with your name and number
(no texts).
Making the play...
Last year, voters approved
a five-year local option levy
of 15 cents per $1,000 of
assessed valuation. The addi-
tional funds provided by
the levy have allowed the
District to catch up on years
of deferred maintenance and
equipment upgrades.
Tehan said that the District
is now able to look at expand-
ing and refining programing,
asking the community, <What
are we doing well? What do
you think we9re missing?
What other offerings could
we have?=
She said that she hopes to
win reelection in order <to
follow through with the com-
mitment to the voters.=
Vasquez, a retired media-
tor and social worker, is an
avid participant in many
SPRD programs and fitness
classes.
<There8s something for
just about everything I need,=
she said.
Vasquez has served on a
variety of boards, and she
believes her experience as a
mediator will be valuable to
SPRD.
<I know the heartbeat of
SPRD from the standpoint
of the instructors, the staff,=
she told The Nugget. <I
thought I might be a link, a
liaison (between staff and the
board)& One of the things I
CHECK OUT

I would be honored to get your vote.
I want to give back to Sisters and
the fi re district I’ve worked with
for over 30 years.
I am currently serving on the Sisters-Camp
Sherman Fire District Budget Committee.
Th ough now retired, for the past 30 years I have
been the representing attorney for the Sisters
Fire District. I have also been the attorney for
the Oregon Fire District Directors Association,
the Oregon Fire Chiefs Association, the
Oregon Volunteer Firefi ghters Association and
approximately ninety special districts.
My statewide work has resulted in two Presidential
Awards from the Fire District Directors
Association and a commendation from the
Oregon Fire Chiefs Association. I look forward to
getting your vote and working hard for Sisters!
