Director’s Message Dear Members, Happy September to you!

Did you love the eclipse? We enjoyed watching it from the Center, what a great place to be for something so magnificent! We’re always eager for fall to arrive, the weather cooling down, the leaves beginning to change, all of it. It’s a season of change and some we eagerly anticipate, and other change we’re never quite prepared for. The change I speak of is: this month that is hard to embrace is that Jodi is leaving the Center after 4 1/2 years. She’s been here since our transition back in 2013, and we’ve enjoyed every ounce of love and care that she’s poured into this Center, and it will leave a void and surely some big shoes to fill. But as ready as we’re not, we do celebrate her new beginning and new adventure and wish her the absolute best! She’ll be working at the High school, still being a blessing to our great community! How lucky they are to have her! We’re currently searching for the perfect person to fill the role of financial manager of the Center, and hope to share this great person and addition with you soon!

We have a great fall kickoff happening with programs and events and we’re eager to have you join us!

Looking forward to seeing you at the Center! Cecily Rose Director

Everyone is very supportive and I enjoyed it very much!” We focus on lifestyle changes that include health eating and physical activity with lots of great information, guest speakers, and group interaction that is supportive and fun! “The information from this class was very helpful and showed me what I should and shouldn’t be doing—it helped me lose some weight, too!” - Vera B.

you there!

We are selling Entertainment books again this year and they are HERE! Just $30/ea! We have a very limited supply, so be sure to get yours ASAP! These coupon books are great Christmas gifts, stocking stuffers, or great to keep for yourself (in your car!) to use while you’re out and about! Use it as an excuse to try new and different things!

Our new refrigerator received through a grant is here and it is beautiful! We are so grateful for all the donations of fresh produce to fill it up for our recipients! A special thank you to our fantastic Molalla Fire Department who helped us get the refrigerator moved in, wheels installed, and placed in the perfect spot! We are so appreciative and truly could not have done with without their help!

You are the Apple of Our Eye, so we’d love to have you join us for a presentation from Molalla’s own Dr. Walker of Molalla Family Eye Care! He will discuss vision, aging, and how the two come together. Dr. Walker will also have his optician on

hand for any adjusting and cleaning of your glasses!
