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.
