MCSO walked the grounds By Doris Brosnan A view of the Willow Creek Terrace facility en- courages visitors to join us for a chat, a tour, a relaxing view. It does not, however, offer details of the not-for- profit organization that aims to serve individuals who wish to have some profes- sional assistance with some daily needs, provided in our small, familiar community. Thus, today’s column does offer a view behind the scenes, so to speak. Willow Creek Terrace, as a not-for-profit organi- zation, is not part of the Morrow County Health District. It does, however, contract with the district for management services. And through the district, the Ter- race has access to nursing, bookkeeping, maintenance, purchasing, educational, financial accounting, and other support. Daily operation of the Terrace is the responsibility of Administrator George Nairns and the Terrace staff of eleven employees. The board of directors meets quarterly, with a smaller governance committee meeting in the month pre- ceding each board meet- ing. Presently serving on the board are Jeff Bailey, JoAnne Burleson (previous chairperson), Tim Dick- enson, Jon Gould, Mark Miller (also a governance committee member), Shir- ley George (secretary and governance committee), Nancy Snider (vice chair and governance committee) and Robin Bredfield (chair- person and governance committee). Among several other individuals who have served various lengths of time on the board is recently retiring, long-term member Diana Ball. At its last meeting, the board of directors recog- nized the advisability of creating a marketing and public relations subcom- mittee. Readers are encour- aged to contact a board member or Nairns to show interest in serving on the subcommittee, which will distribute brochures, create a Facebook page, update the web site and produce news articles. Board members have agreed to work on a big project that the Terrace staff has enthusiastically begun to organize. Rocking the Longest Day will fall on June 21, when the Terrace will sponsor the event in support of the Alzheimer’s Association’s fight against this disease that affects mil- lions of Americans. Readers are invited to participate in the “rock off” that will run from 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Four (or more if needed) adult and four children’s rocking chairs will be avail- able. Each participant can sign up for a half-hour or more of rocking by coming in or calling 541-676-0004. The rockers can contribute pledges they have collected and/or their own donations. The day will truly be festive and filled with ad- ditional activities. A free continental breakfast for participants will be served from 5:30 until 10 a.m. A free barbecue lunch will be served from 11:30 a.m. until 1 p.m., sponsored by the Bank of Eastern Oregon. Topping off the lunch will be cupcakes compliments of Krystal Haak, owner of Sweet Delights in Pilot Rock. Everyone will have a chance to win a door prize, with drawings throughout the day (no need to be pres- ent at a drawing). Items will also be featured as raffle prizes, the winning tickets to be drawn at the end of the day. Anyone who wishes to contribute items for ei- ther of these two activities should contact Nairns. Available for purchase that day, in memory of someone who has demen- tia, will be forget-me-nots that have been started by the Terrace residents. Buy- ers will have the option of planting them at the Terrace or taking them to be planted elsewhere. Coloring for children and sidewalk art opportuni- ties will be offered all day. And educational handouts, discussions and a video will be presented three times that day, once in the morn- ing, once in early afternoon and once in the evening. Enthusiasm is common at the Terrace, so moth- ers on Mother’s Day were honored with a very special luncheon and the Tea Party yesterday, which included cucumber sandwiches, was a hit with many. Tomorrow, Mustang Mop-Up will also receive enthusiastic ap- preciation and interaction with the young workers. This month that began with May Day and then Cinco de Mayo has featured sev- eral special observations and will feature more be- fore it ends with Memorial Day and then Mint Julep Day. Both the serious and the frivolous are viewed with enthusiasm at Willow Creek Terrace. with RP and didn’t find anything out of place. -MCSO received a re- port at Paterson Ferry Rd/I 84 W, Boardman that a wrong way driver het a ve- hicle on I 82 and continued on.
