Brian Lea, of Lea Media Group, was
installed as the 2021-22 president of the
Rotary Club of Keizer at a banquet on
Wednesday, June 23.
Other offi cers installed at the event,
held at Log House Gardens, were
Jason Lewis of Lewis Media Group, as
president-elect, Alana Lang Neads of
Willamette Valley Bank, as secretary,
Craig Williams of Oregon State Credit
Union, as treasurer. Jeff Davis of Edward
Jones, who has served a 15-month term,
becomes past president.
Board directors installed were: Dr.
Dave Anderson, dentist and owner of
Keizer Smiles, Linda Baker of Keizer
Homegrown Theatre, Amy McLeod,
broker with Keller Williams Capital
City, Kelly Walther of Grant Services
of America and Lyndon Zaitz of the
Keizertimes.
Out-going president Jeff Davis
highlighted the club's activites in the
past year which included wildfi re relief
eff orts in the Sanitam Canyon, installa-
tion of fi tness equipment at a number of
Keizer parks as well as play equipment
in the courtyard of Simonka Place.
Project ABLE, a group dedicated to
providing peer support with mental
health issues, held a learn-to-kayak event
at Keizer Rapids Park Saturday, June 19.
About 30 people turned out at the fi rst-
time event, said Ramiro Navarro, veterans
program coordinator for Project ABLE,
and there were 25 kayaks in the water.
The event also drew the attention of
the directors of the Oregon Department of
Veteran Aff airs, the Oregon Department
of Fish & Wildlife and the Oregon State
Marine Board.
“We found out the director of the
marine board is a paralyzed veteran and
he had some issues getting down to the
dock. After a long conversation, they
off ered to help us with grants for mak-
ing the dock ADA-accessible,” Navarro
told the Keizer City Council at a meeting
Monday, June 21.
Any grant application would likely
need to be recommended by the Keizer
Parks Advisory Board and must be
approved by the members of the council
before moving forward.
