Volunteering—what keeps the community going and growing
At Heppner Chamber’s
Annual Town and Country
Community Awards event,
Joanne Burleson shared
her experience with being
a volunteer. This is what
she said about her experi-
ence after she moved to
Heppner:
“For sanity purposes,
I volunteered and became
involved in the commu-
nity. I like to refer to vol-
unteers as ‘stars’ because
they brighten and light up
our communities. There are
many stars in this room and
some who are not. We have
some very young stars that
help all year long. They are
the HHS students. As stars
you help on at the follow-
ing events: putting together
welcome baskets, Town
and Country Community
Awards event, ireighters,
St. Patrick’s annual event
activities, parades, visit
shut-ins, Christmas events,
weed and plant areas in our
cities, volunteer to work at
the Morrow County Fair
and Rodeo, help with the
senior meals, volunteer at
the assisted living, as well
as being on committees that
help run our cities, and the
list goes on.
“As a star, you meet
new friends, learn more
about your community and
its surroundings, but most
of all you feel good inside
because you know you have
made a difference. Some of
our stars are fading due to
health, age, and some have
passed on. We need to re-
cruit new stars to help with
the events that are lacking
stars. If you are not a star,
become one. Talk to your
neighbors and friends and
get them involved. If we
don’t get new stars, then
the events I have men-
tioned will die. South Wil-
low Creek Valley will no
longer be a special place to
live. It will be just a dot on
the map. Think about that.”
That said, the St. Pat-
rick’s Committee is in need
of some volunteers to help
get involved in organiz-
ing and putting on this big
event; it can’t be done by
a few volunteers. Several
volunteer opportunities are
available during the upcom-
ing St. Patrick’s weekend,
which is March 18-20.
The St. Patrick’s Com-
mittee is looking for volun-
teers to sell buttons/kozies
on Saturday during the
KUMA Coffee Hour and
CEILI activities at the Elks
Lodge, as well as a couple
of volunteers to work with
the chamber of commerce
in lining up the participants
for the Great Green Parade
and volunteers to work in
the information booth, just
to name a few.
“Please consider get-
ting involved and contact
the chamber to see where
