To the Editor,
This letter is to clean up some
of the misconceptions about the Scout
Cabin.
A lot of people still think it
belongs to the City. It does not; it belongs
to the Friends of the Scout Cabin. The
property that the Scout Cabin sits on,
including the front and back parking
lots, are leased from the City. The public
is allowed to use our parking areas when
we don’t have a scheduled event.
All
maintenance,
which
includes blowing off the deck and front
parking before each event, cleaning and
scheduling rentals, has all been done by
three volunteers who are now starting on
their thirteenth year.
This building is a high
maintenance facility. Every three years
the building and railings need to be re-
finished, the deck every two. This is a
large expense for us.
Our total income for this year
was $5,225.94; our expenses $5,151,53,
leaving a profit of $74.41. You can
see we can not pay for the work our
volunteers do.

To the Editor,
On February 24, 2013 three
local girls participated in the 2013 Miss
Teen Portland pageant. Kortnie Adams,
Jayda Pihl, and Megan Zavales were all
chosen through an interview process to
compete in the pageant. The 3 girls had
a chance to model casual wear of their
choice and formal wear of their choice.
The girls went through and extensive
interview processes. We are so proud of

Thank You!
the accomplishments they made through
the experience.
Unfortunately they did not place
in the competition, but they definitely
made an impact on all girls their age to
be the best you can be. We are so very
proud of them. It was a great experience,
and an opportunity to show beauty on
the inside. All 3 of them succeeded with
flying colors.

If we are to keep the doors open
on this facility, we could really use some
more volunteers. This year the building,
railings and deck all need to be done. Is
there someone out there willing to help
out?
We feel that this building has
been a real asset to our community, but in
order to keep it going we need your help
and your rentals. If you are planning
an event of any kind please think of the
Scout Cabin.
For reservations and rental costs
contact Shirlee Daughtry at 503-429-

We need you!
