TLC Attitudes of Gratitude
We have had a good and active
month at the TLC. We’ve been hauling
up loads of firewood (good exercise) to
take off the evening chill. Then a new
thermostat was installed and we have
been ‘‘snug as a bug!”
We have had a
lot of support this
past month. An
other agency shared
some
blankets.
Anita Wheeler do-
nated pretty glass relish dishes
for our festive occasions and Christmas
decorations. Lynn Whitlow donated
tree lights, coffee, spices,popcom, and
other decorations.
Linda Tough gave us some educa
neous items. Debbie of Toledo Florist
gifted us with several items. We are
grateful to each donor for her generosity.
We so appreciate Jackie Ashley,
Alice McCain, Joan Hartung, Denise
Riding In, Carrie White, and Lisa
Brown for faithfully filling overnight
shifts and to Selene for strengthening
our residents with her morning support/
meditation groups.
We hold a Women’s Talking Circle
monthly, usually on the second Wednes
day of the month. We encourage all
women in recovery, or considering a life
of recovery, to join us for a potluck
dinner at 5:45 p.m. and the Talking
Circle at 6:30 p.m.
Call Lynn at 1-800-922-1399,
ext. 1238, or 541-444-8238, for more
tional cassettes, while Brenda Butler

The number of clients that we serve
at our Siletz warehouse has increased
considerably and we like to think the
word is spreading throughout Indian
Country about the great variety of foods
that we now offer.
It’s still quite a challenge to imple
ment the fresh produce program. The
staff truly appreciates the patience of the
clients who are waiting and also the help
that we receive when we are serving.
Thank you, Daniel Brown and
Bobby Joe Brandt, for all your hard
work here at the Siletz warehouse.

Please note that Jan. 17 is a holi
day, therefore we will start distribution
on Jan. 18.
We were very fortunate to receive
capital funds from the federal USDA
budget that made it possible to purchase
a very nice walk-through cooler/freezer
for our Salem warehouse. It was a
much-needed item and we will be able
to preserve the fresh produce during the
hot summer months.
Additionally, when we receive items
like the frozen ham, buffalo, and bison,
we now have plenty of freezer space
that will allow our Salem clients to also
have the benefit of these bonus items.
Thank you to all of our clients who
jump right in and help when you see
that we are a bit overwhelmed with lots
of distribution and file work. Cody Cole
- thank you for being a terrific ware
houseman at our Salem warehouse.
Happy Meals and hope 2005 is a
very healthy year for everyone.
