Senior Stroll & Willamette Valley Outing

Fourteen of Eastmont’s Seniors enjoyed our first stroll of the new year as we ambled down the Deschutes River, enjoying the scenery and the rain-less beauty clouds that accompanied us. Afterward, we gathered at the Bend Dairy Queen for burgers and ice cream and great fellowship. Don’t miss our next Stroll scheduled for Thursday, May 20th. Watch for details in the Sunday Worship Folders.

Eastmont Seniors’ spring two day excursion began with a trip to McMinnville, visiting the Evergreen Air and Space Museum and Imax Theater on Thursday, April 22nd. Fellowship while observing the displays of airplanes and space capsules brought back memories for many of military service in WW II and afterward.

Then, touring the State Capitol Building and enjoying a band and orchestra concert at Corban University in Salem on Friday was enjoyed by 21 Eastmont Seniors. Eating several meals together plus a late night dessert feast further enhanced our times of fellowship and togetherness. Even the weather cooperated, enabling clear mountain pass transits as well as occasional periods of sunshine both days.

Surprise Safari

On Thursday, March 04, 32 of Eastmont’s Seniors enjoyed a Surprise Safari that enjoyed a tour of KTVZ, our local TV station where morning weatherman, Bob Shaw briefed everyone on the responsibilities and technical equipment used in the daily morning show. All of Bob’s telecasts are unscripted and presented ad lib. He answered lots of questions and even taped an update for their Internet Site so we could observe how it was accomplished. Altogether, Bob gave us a wonderfully informative presentation. Afterward, nearly everyone joined together for lunch at Chan’s Chinese Restaurant. The servings were so ample that most took home enough for another meal. Even the weather cooperated [no doubt at Bob’s request] with bright sunshine and a few beauty clouds. We had a sparkling day in Central Oregon!
