Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, October 12,2005 - FIVE St. Patrick’s Senior Center news St. Patrick’s Catholic Parish will provide volunteers for the October 19 noon meal at the Heppner Senior Center. The menu is lasagna, french bread, green beans, fruit salad and dessert. Seven senior board members and five constituent members of the community attended the specially- called meeting for goal setting. Suggestions were made from both long and short-term perspectives. More than 20 possibilities, for the work of the senior center, were offered. Everyone present contributed. From this brainstorming list, the group formed three categories of emphasis, each one important for the purpose of the center to be felt, understood and accepted as well as used in the life of the South Morrow community. Each category has long and short term potential. Activities carried on at the center that are enriching the lives of people in the community, offering sociability, support, educational forums, special interests and others. Some activities are established practices already: exercise, dominoes, bingo, and others. Emphasis would be on extending the variety that would enrich and extend the quality of community life generally. Promotional activities to increase awareness of the center as an important aspect of what the local community offers to the wider community of people in surrounding areas, and those just going through. Membership in the Chamber of Commerce, regular announcements at churches and other organizations, and news releases about special events. All of these and other suggestions will carry momentum of goodwill into the life of the local area. Fund raising is an important category. The center is a non-profit organization. That means it works within the boundaries of the non-profit rules and regulations. We may receive grants and subsidies. We are called to be accountable in our use of these funds. These funds are limited making other funding sources necessary to meet obligations. Donations and fund raising activities have brought good results. Considering our times and changing character of our community, some new avenues of fund raising are being investigated. The Board will meet October 19, 12:30 p.m., at the St. Patrick’s Senior Center office. Details will be put into place to begin implementation of our goals. The board invites the presence and participation of all the constituency of the senior center. BEO donates to Inland N.W.
