Wednesday, August 7, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 9 Local artist to release mural at Seed to Table Local illustrator and painter Maren Inga Burck will be revealing her community mural at Seed to Table Farm, Wednesday, August 7, from 4 to 7 p.m. during Seed to Table9s Growing Community Event (see column, page 4). The event will feature Burck9s mural release 4 a 26-by-12-foot installation that is at the centerpiece of the nonprofit education farm. Burck is an illustrator and painter raised in Central Oregon. She graduated from Sisters High School in 2007 and received a bachelor9s degree in art from Oregon State University. Her mother9s Norwegian heritage has been a heavy influence in her work over the past decade. Elements of traditional Scandinavian textile design, woodcarving, needlework, and folklore can be seen in much of her work. Burck finds inspiration in the forms and movement of plant life, and the communi- cation between simple and intricate concepts, forms and shapes. Having travelled and lived throughout Southern Oregon, the Willamette Valley and Austin, Texas, Maren is thrilled to be back in Central Oregon sharing her work with the community. Seed to Table9s Growing Community Event will fea- ture the mural release, farm- fresh Boone Dog Pizza, live music by the band Honey Don9t and Kids Farm Olympic activities.

Sat., 8/24 • 6:30 PM DAN BERNSTEIN PHOTO PROVIDED Donor sets record in school supply drive Just when they thought they9d seen their largest donation ever in 2018, Mid Oregon Credit Union kicked off its annual Supplies 4 Schools 2019 supply drive with yet another record dona- tion from a Redmond resident who stuffed 190+ backpacks with school supplies ready for local students. The donor, Vikki Olds, topped her previous year9s contribution of 140 back- packs by a significant mar- gin, saying that she planned ahead and ordered many of the supplies earlier in the year to get maximum ben- efit from her investment. Her husband, daughter, son-in- law and a group of family friends worked several week- ends in a row to organize and assemble the backpacks. Although Olds is a Redmond resident, she requested that her donations be distributed throughout Central Oregon to ensure that students with the greatest need have what they need to start the school year, regard- less of where they live. <I researched the statis- tics on food insecurity in our local area, and it showed kids in every part of Central Oregon could use the help,= Olds said. <I just want to see that the supplies go to students who9ll benefit the most.= In 2018, Olds and her Justice in Plain Sight Maren Inga Burck will unveil a new mural at Seed to Table Farm as part of their Wednesday, August 7 Growing Community Event. family drove a trailer to the Redmond Mid Oregon Credit Union branch to deliver the bounty. This year, Mid Oregon Credit Union came to her 4 bringing the credit union9s classic blue 1970s- era Chevy van to her front door to load up the enormous donation. <Vikki is one of those amazing people who acts from her heart and makes big things happen,= says Marketing Vice President Kyle Frick. <Our Supplies 4 Schools drive allows all our members to contribute to help kids have what they need for school, and Vikki takes it to a whole new level.= The Supplies 4 Schools fundraiser and supply drive is underway during the month of August at all seven locations within Mid Oregon Credit Union9s service area, includ- ing Sisters. All donations of cash and supplies stay in the community where they are collected. In most commu- nities, Mid Oregon partners with Family Access Network and other local agencies to distribute the supplies to stu- dents in Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson counties who may lack the basic necessities to be successful at school. Mid Oregon Credit Union9s Sisters branch is located at 703 N. Larch St., next to the Deschutes County Sheriff9s Office substation.
