Wednesday, August 11, 2021 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Concert series raises funds for community This summer, Sisters Community Church has been hosting a concert series on Sunday evenings on the lawn outside the church. The goal of the series was, as Pastor Steve Stratos put it, <to bring joy to the commu- nity.= The music has done that 4 but it has also provided a substantial boost to local nonprofits. Each show has a desig- nated beneficiary. According to Stratos, the first three concerts in the series raised more than $10,000 for Sisters Family Access Network, Young Life, and Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch. There are two more con- certs in the series. The Anvil Blasters will play on Sunday, August 22, benefiting Sisters Band of Brothers; an Eagles Tribute Band will close things out on September 12, benefit- ing the YouthBuild program. Stratos said that the con- certs are part of the church9s effort to reach out to the broader Sisters community and also come out of a desire for <helping these groups who are helping people who are struggling.= It9s worked. <We had about 400 people out for the first two (featur- ing Bob Baker and Mark Barringer and Thunderstorm Artis in the first, and High Street Party Band in the sec- ond),= Stratos said. <It9s been a great opportunity in a lot of ways. A lot of fun& All in all, it9s a win-win.= The shows start at 6 p.m. with a brief intermission, where the leader of the des- ignated nonprofit describes their mission and how it helps local families. Bring a chair or blanket for seating. Sisters Community Church is located at 1300 W. McKenzie Hwy. in Sisters.

By extremely reducing the rent for one year, you gifted the society a headstart, dressed them for success. Thank you, Karen Swank. As a founding board mem- ber of the Three Sisters Historical Society, your ded- icated research, enthusiasm, and talent in creating the informative historical dis- plays inside and outside the Wakefield House engaged the profound interest of the Sisters community and enter- tained visitors. The historical society is moving to the Maida Bailey Library on North Spruce Street, behind the Chamber. " Kay Payne wrote: The spirit of Sisters was truly demonstrated by the Sister Motor Lodge this past week. Chris and Stephanie went the extra mile to move some of their reservations around in order to accom- modate two clients of ZoselHarper Realty. The cli- ents needed to be out of their house Sunday, August 8, but their new home in Bend isn9t available until September 2. Over a two-day period Stephanie and Chris made calls to people with exist- ing reservations in order to shuffle and come up with a 24-night stretch in one of their bungalows. True to their word they made it happen& then as luck would have it, our clients made other accommodations in Eugene because Central Oregon Entertainment & Events AUG 12 THUR AUG 13 FRI AUG Sisters salutes... 11 14 SAT motels and hotels are booked solid.
