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. The event
costs $15 for adults and is
free for kids 12 and under.

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.
