Free Legal Assistance for
Deschutes County Seniors
2020 Walk to End
Alzheimer’s
Th e Council on Aging of Central
Oregon and Legal Aid Services
of Oregon are working together
to off er legal services to low-
income seniors living in Deschutes
County. Th ese services are
provided to adults 60 years and
older with preference to those
in greatest social and economic
need, with particular attention
to low income, minority and frail
individuals. Five free 30-minute
legal assistance sessions for
seniors are available virtually
or by telephone the week of
September 14-18. Services
off ered by volunteer lawyers
include: tenant rights, collection
of money through small claims,
creditor/debtor rights, domestic
relations issues, estate planning
and probate issues. Lawyers
meet with clients for free half-
hour consultations. Seniors may
retain volunteer lawyers to do
additional legal work beyond
the consultation for a fee if they
choose. Call to the Council on
Aging to schedule one of the
limited number of free 30-minute
legal assistance appointments or
to learn more about other legal
support options at 541-678-5483.
Join others at 11 a.m. on Saturday,
September 12 for the Walk to End
Alzheimer’s Central Oregon. Th e
world may look a little diff erent
right now, but one thing hasn’t
changed: our commitment to
ending Alzheimer’s. Th is year,
Walk to End Alzheimer’s® is
everywhere — on every sidewalk,
track and trail. We won’t have
a large in-person gathering —
instead, we invite you to walk in
small teams of friends and family
while others in your community
do the same. Because we are
all still walking and fundraising
for the same thing: a world
without Alzheimer’s and all other
dementia. Visit alz.org/walk to
register today. Info: 503-416-0213.
Clippity Clop Fundraiser
PHOTO AND STORY BY
Cody Rheault
Since learning the drums at age 8
and growing up in rural Summer Lake,
Brandon Richardson
has directed his life to the tune of music.
His later years lead him to the position
of Worship Pastor at Wellhouse Church
and writing his own music.
In July of 2019 he signed with
TobyMac’s Christian record label, Gotee
Records, and was recently nominated for
a Dove Award.
He says, “the most rewarding part of
it all is being able to impact people on a
global scale with songs that declare the
knowledge of God and His jealous love
for all humanity.”
