Summer 2016

Summer is here again and it’s chock full of fun things to do. Join us for Fun For All in the parks, take a class at the Barn, or enjoy an outdoor movie on a warm summer night. (In particular, I invite you to pay tribute to David Bowie with us on August 12 where we will have music and a fashion show precede “The Man Who Fell to Earth,” starring, well, none other than David Bowie). As always stop by the Barn to say hello—we love hearing about you and your perspectives.

We are excited about all of the organizations we will be partnering with for our summer offerings. Of course Food For Lane County will be at most of our Fun For All sites. United Way’s Summer Reading Spot will be back reading to whomever comes here to the Barn. Also, a new partner, The Imagination Art Bus will be with us on Mondays at Petersen Barn and Thursdays at State Street Park. As always, we appreciate the work Parks and Open Spaces does to keep our parks safe and clean and of course all the individual volunteers and participants who make our community the great place that it is.

I do want to take a moment to remind folks that we are in the process of developing a Parks and Recreation system plan that will guide our development over the next 10-15 years. Please take a moment to get in touch and let us know your thoughts.

Chatting with Alondra Duran feels like chatting with a bright and hopeful future.

A graduating senior at Willamette High School, Alondra will soon be leaving WHS, and will certainly be leaving her mark on her school and community.

During her senior year, Alondra has been a member of what seems like countless clubs, classes, and extra curriculars, all of which have one thing in common: they all focus on community service and helping those around her.

This, she says, is what drives her. “My passion is helping people,” Alondra says.

“I’m motivated by helping my community.” Alondra is her student class president, a member of the high school’s Leadership class, a part of T-Crew that welcomes incoming freshman, and a Teen Court volunteer at Petersen Barn, to name a few. This year she has also been recognized by the United Way as their Youth Volunteer of the Year for her work with Teen Court.
