Your donations help us contribute in so many ways to the programs and services at the Milwaukie Center.

Center Supervisor's MessageThis October a group of Milwaukie Center volunteers will receive a special honor. The Emergency Firewood program was selected as a regional winner of the Governor’s Volunteer Award. After being selected by a team of judges, the program is now eligible for a state-level award. The program currently has a group of eight dedicated volunteers who cut, split, stack and at times even deliver the wood to low income seniors and persons with disabilities who are in need of heating assistance. My office window faces the firewood area and it has been a great pleasure watching how this group of guys has come together to make this program possible. They come every week to put in volunteer time, rain or shine. Not only are these guys doing a great service for their community but they also formed some lasting friendships. This is a great example of how volunteering can do so much for both the community and the individual who volunteers. Congratulations to this group, and thank you from all those people who will have a fire to keep them warm this winter. - Marty Hanley, Center Supervisor

About the Friends of the Milwaukie Center The Friends began with a small group of volunteers who recognized a need when the Milwaukie Center first opened its doors in 1980. With the dedication of a small army of volunteers over the years since then, the Friends have grown into an organization that provides essential funds and support throughout the Center.

An important function the Friends perform is outreach to the community. We maintain a membership in the North Clackamas Chamber of Commerce and numerous other neighboring organizations. Our purpose is to share information about the Milwaukie Center while garnering support and partnerships from local businesses and organizations.

The Friends’ primary goal and function is to raise funds to support the programs and services of the Milwaukie Center. We do this in a variety of ways which you will read more about inside this report.

For anyone interested in learning more about the Friends, board meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 9:30 a.m. Everyone is welcome to attend or call at (503) 653-8100. All new ideas and comments are welcomed.

Friends of the Milwaukie Center, Inc.’s mission is to assist the Milwaukie Center in educating the citizens about the need for, and availability of, resources and services, especially for the aging and disabled, and to assist the Milwaukie Center financially to provide existing and needed services.

Fundraising ActivitiesThe Friends have ongoing activities that help us reach our fundraising goals. By participating in or supporting any of these activities, you are helping the Milwaukie Center maintain its programs and services.

Gift Shop The Gift shop has operated almost as long as the Milwaukie Center. Starting out as the Gift Nook, it was literally that, a small

nook in the Center. It has grown to the Shop we now know and love. Providing an outlet for craftspeople of all ages, you are sure to find a treasure you just can’t live without! The Gift Shop retains 20% of the proceeds for the Center.

Bingo This Thursday night staple has long been one of the Friends most reliable fundraisers. Bingo is a fun evening activity

for family and friends. Win cash prizes and visit the snack bar for your free popcorn. Please consider joining us on Thursday nights at 6:30 to play or volunteer.

Recycling Although we don’t see as many newspapers as we used to, they can be put in the large green container in front of the Rose

Garden. The Friends also recycle soda pop cans, used cell phones and ink cartridges. Just drop them off in the Friends office next time you are in the Center.

Brick Sales Engraved bricks are placed in the Sara Hite Memorial Rose Garden once a year. Proceeds benefit the continued

maintenance of the Garden.

Quilting Committee The dedicated women of the Friends Quilters meet every Thursday on the stage at the Milwaukie Center. They

complete quilts for customers and the proceeds are donated to the Friends general fund.

Endowment FundsEndowment funds are savings plans for the future. These funds are never spent, but the earnings are used toward programs and services at the Milwaukie Center. This past year, the six different endowment funds earned almost $30,000. The six endowment funds total over $600,000.

All gifts received in memory of a loved one are automatically added to the Endowment Fund as well as any bequests the Friends receive. In addition, $2,000 from the Thursday Night Bingo program is added to the Endowment Fund each year. We also receive donations that are designated for a specific area, which is why we have six different funds. They are:

Milwaukie Center Fund Directly supports the programs and services at the Milwaukie Center

Bob & Charlee Moore Nutrition Fund Directly supports the Nutrition department and Meals-on-Wheels.

Fran Whitehill Rose Garden Fund Provides maintenance for the Sara Hite Memorial Rose Garden

Scholarship Fund Assists with class fees

Joan Young Directors Fund Funds special projects at the Center

Doris Hurst Special Needs Fund Helping Social Services with client needs

There are many ways to remember the Milwaukie Center besides cash donations. The easiest and most painless way is to give through a “future” gift planned in the form of a bequest.

By naming the Friends of the Milwaukie Center as one of the beneficiaries of your trust, will, life insurance, retirement plan or investment account, you will help ensure a secure source of future funding for our programs.
