There was a good turnout

Celebration of long and storied career
Beth Ann Beamer
Managing Faculty
W.S. OSU Extension
The Warm Springs Oregon
State University Extension
Unit would like to express our
gratitude for the support
from the community of
Warm Springs as we cel-
ebrated the long and storied
career of Mrs. Arlene Boileau
at the Agency Longhouse in
December.
Whether championing the
children of the group home,
working to establish the Early
Childhood Education Center,
or commanding the 4-H Cul-
ture Camp—as only one who
has learned the hard way
can—Arlene put the children
of this community first. Al-
ways.
We would like to give a
shout out to the Tribal Utili-
ties Department, who made
the facility available to us and
responded quickly to calls of
distress related to necessary
items. Thank you for being
so responsive.
A note of gratitude to the
Branch of Natural Resources
for their generous donation
of salmon to “fete” Arlene
properly. Over the years, this
department has been instru-
mental in making sure the
visions in Arlene’s head for a
safe and growth-producing
culture camp came to frui-
tion.
We deeply appreciate the
contribution made by Warm
Springs Power and Water
Enterprises to support the
dinner. You made it possible
to have a lovely, complete
meal. Thank you for your
generous donation.
Thank you also to Clint
Jacks, former Extension
Agent in Warm Springs, for
celebrating Arlene as only he
can. Your presence as well
as Naomi’s meant so much
to Arlene and her family.
A note of gratitude to all
the family and community
members who stopped by to
celebrate with us. I know
many of you have benefited
in some way from Arlene’s
tireless work on behalf of
children and youth. We ap-
preciate your taking the time
to honor her.
The cooks and cooks’ help-
ers, including Jer maine
Tuckta, Cena Wolfe and
Dana Smith, as well as James
Sam and Colleen and Julie
Sandoval: Thank you. The
food was wonderful.
Inez Queaphama-Gomez:
You made Arlene so proud
at the State Fair Iron Chef,
thank you for helping with her
retirement.
Lastly, I want to thank my
staff at Extension, especially
Rosanna Sanders and Andrea
Sapuay, for their tireless ef-
fort on Arlene’s behalf. With-
out you, the event would not
have happened.
The community will be
pleased to note that while
Arlene has retired, she has
agreed to continue as an Ex-
tension volunteer, and will be
starting a 4-H Beginning Sew-
ing Club in February.
Again, we are so grateful.
