The training was held at the Hilton Hotel in Eugene, February 25, 26 and 27. Jacki Bergstrom, LoRayne Bowman, Janet Greenup and Rudy Bergstrom were among the 120 participants throughout the state that worked in small groups to organize a training event that would meet the needs of a com munity group experiencing organizational problems (lack of effective meetings, no volunteer involvement in school activities, passage of a tax base proposal). Participants used group process skills to arrive at the agenda for the needed community training event. Elected and appointed officials shared their public policy ex perience from a panel on the afternoon of the second day. The volunteer trainers had an oppor tunity to learn from and talk with those currently involved in the formation of the public policy. Panel m em bers included Representative Larry Campbell, Speaker of the House; Marilyn Higgins, school board member from Central Linn; Jerry Rust, county commissioner, Lane County; and Jeff Miller, mayor of Eugene. LoRayne Bowman shared a poem she wrote about Morrow County with people participating “ We’re here to tell you of Mor row County, and what we feel is her true bounty. It’s located along 1-84, about 2 Vi hours east of Portland, or more. Heppner is the county seat, the historic courthouse is really neat, lone, Lexington, Irrigon and Boardman, too, all cities under eastern skies so blue. The camping and boating, the hunting and fishing, have a lot of people, dreaming and wishing. About getting away from their busy day, and taking a drive along the scenic by-way. We’re working on tourism to get all of you to visit Morrow County cause there’s lots to do. Along the Columbia, that’s Boardman’s turf. There’s Coho fishing and you can even wind surf. On the south end of our coun ty are the timber lands where you can see, the old growth stands. Where you can see our county parks, Anson W right and C utsforth, they are great landmarks. The sesquicentenial of the Oregon Trail, the St. Patrick’s celebration each year without fail. The friendliest of people welcome you to visit this year and after your visit, with us you will cheer. Hip hip hooray, what more can I say? Doesn’t this make you want to visit today?” This family Comm unity Leadership Institute was the tenth training held in Oregon. Over 850 have attended the annual In stitute. “ The 30 hour curriculum is designed to help trainers become involved with public issues,” said Greg Tillson, state coordinator. “ It combines lec tures with experimental small group activities as its educational model. The FCL trainers have been beneficial to numerous local groups in counties throughout Oregon. For more information about Family Comm unity Leadership, contact the Extension office at 676-9642.
