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.

Thank you, Chris
Boxwell, your craftman-
ship and generosity gave
the Three Sisters Historical
Society an impressionable
presence in the historical
Wakefield House on the cor-
ner of East Cascade Avenue
and North Larch Street. 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.

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

plans they were as gracious
as any two people can be.
So the team at ZH just wants
to say <thank you= from the
bottom of our hearts. The
