A few dedicated Buddies and leaders gathered “under the camp tent” this week to create a special “work of art” for someone who was a real inspiration to them who works for our local school district. During this unbelievably challenging season ASB wants to encourage those involved in educating our youth to keep pressing on! We love you!
Even though we can’t meet in person this spring, ASB girls are still sharing encouragement while sheltering at home. Buddies made some adorable cards to be shared with seniors quarantined both locally and elsewhere. Living up to our theme of “loving others as we are loved” we hope that the cards will bring a smile to someone who needs it. Thanks to all who contributed!
Just before Christmas ASB girls and leaders spent the afternoon sharing holiday cheer with patients, residents and staff at the Bend Transitional Care facility. The gathering featured 20 lovely singers touring the hallways and bringing joy to those who were not able to make it home for the holidays.
More than 60 participants prepared boxes of food and gifts for two foster families in Central Oregon. The generosity of the participants exceeded our expectations as numerous boxes were prepared to deliver to the families just before Thanksgiving. The van was full of goodies for the children and adults alike and made it to the homes before the snow made roads impassable the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. We all experienced the joy of giving while acknowledging how much we were grateful for!
