Dear friends, How’s everyone doing with their New Year’s resolutions? Did you set a goal for yourself—better exercise habits, closer connections with friends, more volunteering? I just read an article that says that, while 75% of people make resolutions at the New Year, less than 35% of them are still following the resolution six months later. Hmm….I wonder what would happen if your New Year’s resolution was, say, to eat more cookies? I’ll bet that the success rate would go sky-high for a resolution like that! Like they say: Life is short, so eat dessert first (followed by vegetables, fiber and protein). See you at the Center—Kathy Mobile Dental Van visits CAC! We’re pleased to partner with International Medical Teams, to offer a mobile dental van service on Monday, February 9th! This is thanks to an Innovation Grant funded by the State of Oregon Department of Human Services. In order to qualify as a patient, you must meet the following criteria: Individuals accepted for treatment on the dental vans MUST have incomes less than 200% of federal poverty level ($23,340 for an individual; $31,460 for a 2-person household). Clients must have no dental insurance of any kind Clients must have no realistic ability to pay for the urgent dental care they need. Patients should exhibit URGENT dental needs such as dental pain, swelling, or possible decay (e.g., discolored teeth). Patients with the greatest need (e.g., pain) shall have priority over those with less urgent needs. Please see Client Services Coordinator Wendy May if you have an urgent dental problem in order to sign up for this excellent service. Please note that this is the first of two visits. If you aren’t able to attend this clinic, we will offer it again later in the year.

CHAIR Amy Carlton (Term ends Sept 2016) VICE-CHAIR Mark Adams Director’s Report: The annual appeal has generated over $38,000 so far, some $8000 over what was budgeted. The Board discussed and approved the proposal to use excess funds for the renovation/upgrade of the computer lab and storage area. (Term ends Sept 2015) Iwo Jima event will be held Saturday February 21 at the Center. The kitchen needs volunteers. SECRETARY Nicolle Harold Plant Sale/Spring Bazaar – Kathy noted that the event as currently organized takes a significant amount of time and work, relative to the net return. She would like to limit the plant part of the event to smaller plants. Several Board members suggested that we consider taking plants from nurseries on consignment—have them bring in plants, man their booth and take any unsold plants home with them. All members agreed this would be a great idea. Kathy will call a separate meeting of Board members involved in last year’s sale in February for further planning.

She will be working on the proposal over the coming month. Strategic Planning: Mike and Gretchen McCallum attended the meeting to present a preliminary strategic report, reflecting the work and discussions of key staff over several meetings. The report details CAC’s current operating environment and likely needed changes over the next five—ten years. The Board thanked Mike for all of the gratis work he has put into this project, then discussed best ways to move forward. Mike noted that the staff can’t devote substantial time to further flesh out a plan while still doing their jobs; he strongly suggested the hiring of a project manager and offered to work with Kathy and a committee to write up a SOW and identify an appropriate candidate. After much discussion, the Board agreed to allocate an initial budget to the further development of a complete strategic plan, suitable for presentation to government bodies and donors. The next board meeting is February 11, at 1:00 pm. Thanks to… Mary Bosch who worked diligently to separate and organize a huge fabric and yarn donation.

A Slight CHANGE to Cutsforth’s Thriftway’s Battery Recycling: Cutsforth’s still accepts batteries for recycle, however, you will now need to sign your name, address and phone number when you take your batteries to the Customer Service Desk—that is because they need to show that the batteries are coming from individuals and not a business. So, you can still recycle your Standard batteries (“AA”, AAA”, and “C”) at the Customer Service counter—you will just need to “sign-in”. . Be sure to thank them for this service, free to customers but Cutsforth’s pays the recycling fee. Senior Tuesday: Shop on Tuesdays and present your Thriftway Rewards Card and the register will apply 10% of your total bill to your Thriftway rewards card balance. Check with Customer Service at Cutsforth’s if you have questions. Calling all fiber crafters - Volunteers Needed February 6th: If you crochet, knit, weave, or felt wool Knight Elementary school can use your help. They are holding a fiber arts literacy day February 6th 8:45 to 3:30 and will introduce elementary students to various fiber arts. Parent volunteer Heather Anderson is looking for adults to work with small groups of students teaching them simple chain crochet, knitting with straws and other various simple projects. This one day event needs volunteers for morning and afternoon shifts. They would be honored to have community members come share their knowledge and teach kids a lifelong skill. Crochet hooks and knitting needles are also needed if you have some you can spare. Interested in volunteering? Please call Heather Anderson at 503-502-4862 or email [email protected].
