volunteers have recently com
pleted a three-day Leadership
Training Institute sponsored by
the Oregon State University Ex
tension Service Family Com
munity Leadership Program. 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

Leadership, contact the Extension
office at 676-9642.

Correction
A story in last week’s G-T in
correctly stated that Rick Smith
had leased Cal’s Cafe for the past
four years. His wife Joan has
leased the Cafe from Bill and
Kate Lynch. Rick has been a cook
in the restaurant for the past four
years.
