to the Mt. Hood Cultural Center
& Museum's biggest
fundraiser of the year, from 6-10
p.m. The celebration location

now, to attend the Mt. Hood Cultural
Center & Museum’s Heritage Night
celebration on November 2, 2024.
From 6-10 pm. This fun event,
is held at the Museum in Government
Camp. It marks the beginning of
winter activities on Mt. Hood and is
an opportunity to socialize with old
and new friends, enjoy heavy hors d’
oeuvres, libations (donated by local
restaurants and businesses) and
partake in silent and live auctions.
UPDATE:
The
Museum could use some volunteers
to help with the
event. Contact
Sally Niedermeyer or Sandi
Shaub
regarding volunteer
opportunities for that
night.
(sallyrally@gmail.com
/ sandi.shaub@gmail.com)
Also
the Museum is ALWAYS looking
for any donations from
mountain minded
people. Art, crafts,
goods or services of any
kind. The museum depends on
donations for their
operations and this is our
biggest fundraising event of
the year. Dig deep and
support your mountain
museum!!! I can arrange a
pick up for any items
needing to get to the museum
by our deadline of Oct 19.
Your museum membership is your
ticket in. Memberships are available
online Membership | Mount Hood
Museum (mthoodmuseum.org), or at the

arrangements.
There is something for everyone and
for every price range, in the
Heritage Night auctions. Cabin décor
items and collectibles are popular.
Theme gift baskets and gift
certificates from local businesses
make nice holiday gifts. These
auctions are also a great source of
artwork by local artists. Recreation
passes and sports game tickets are
always available. Attendees should
be prepared to bid on vacation
packages, guided outdoor adventure
trips, vintage ski lift chairs, and
other unique items only available at

Pickleball
Nov.
16 (Saturday). 2 pm -
4pm.
Kurt
Wilke has reserved 3 courts at Jumbo's
Pickleball for Saturday
November 16 from 2pm to 4pm.
The cost is $300 and he has put down
a $150 deposit.
Location:
Jumbo's Pickleball
16340 NW Bethany
Ct, Beaverton, OR 97006
Exit
65 off of Hwy. 26, to Cornell Rd.
and Bethany Blvd.
The
cost will be $20 per person.
To cover the costs, 15 people will
need to sign up. Right now there are
13 or 14 signed up already.
The
target is 18 people. If less than
15, we might have to cancel the
reservation on one court which will
make it not much fun for the
experienced players. If there
are 20, we might consider reserving
a 4th court.
Everyone
will need to create a profile
and sign a waiver at Jumbo's.
Jumbo's website can be difficult to
navigate. Kurt will try and have
good instructions to send out to
everyone. The profile can be done at
Jumbo's too. It's a fairly quick
process. Everyone will need to sign
a Jumbo's waiver.
Right
now we have one instructor
lined up and a possibility of a 2nd
instructor to help teach the new
players.
We
can bring snacks in but they
can't be homemade; store bought
only. The snacks will be in the
lounge area. No outside drinks,
water is okay, drinks must be
purchased at Jumbo's. However, you
can bring in water or your own
Gatorade without causing an issue as
long as you kept it with you
gear.
Shoes
must be court shoes and non-marking.
Black soles are a no-no. Jumbo's
does have a small selection of men's
and women's shoes that can be loaned
out. I think they are free but there
could be a rental charge for
them.
Paddles:
We will have a couple of extra
paddles, but it won't be enough so
paddles will need to be rented at $6
for two which includes a ball. We
will try and round up more paddles
so that no one will need to rent
one.
Balls:
Kurt will provide those. He has
lots.
To
sign up
Send
a check for $20, made
payable to Kurt Wilke,
and mail it to Kurt
Wilke, PO Box 675,
Cornelius, OR 97113.
Or contact Kurt for
alternate ways of paying
(Venmo, etc.).
Post
play gathering: There is a Margarita
Factory not far from Jumbo's
where we can gather and socialize
afterwards. Happy Hour goes until
6pm there.

ensure there's great terrain for all
participants.

snowboarders an opportunity to take
advantage of three and a half miles of
unbroken, mountain terrain. This
unique event combines participatory
living history and fund raising, for

safe.

door prizes and an unlimited number of
shuttle bus rides back up to
Timberline during the day. Last
shuttle up is at 3 pm.
After beginning the day at the museum
with a continental breakfast,
participants receive shuttle
transportation to Timberline, ski the
trail at their leisure, and meet the
bus at the end of the trail to return
to the top.
When ready for a break, attendees can
drop by the museum for a hot lunch
featuring homemade gourmet soups and
delicious accompaniments. All
shuttles stop at the Museum, so you
can take a break at any time.

About
ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease)
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a
progressive neurodegenerative
disease that slowly robs a person of
the ability to walk, speak, swallow
and, eventually, breathe. With no
known cause or cure, a person can
expect to live typically 2 to 5
years from the time of diagnosis.
ALS has no racial, ethnic or
socioeconomic boundaries –– and in
only 10 percent of cases there is a
family history of ALS. Today, there
are approximately 30,000 people in
the US living with ALS and 5,600
people in the US are diagnosed every
year. At any given time, there are
an estimated 500 families living
with ALS in Oregon and Southwest
Washington.
About
The ALS Association Oregon and SW
Washington Chapter
Since its inception in 2002, our
local chapter of The ALS Association
is the central source for services
and education for people with ALS,

Oregon
Cancer Ski Out
March 9-10, 2025.
(Sunday and Monday)
This is a unique and fun two-day
ski/snowboard event at Mt. Hood
Meadows, raising money for hospice,
cancer research, education and
prevention programs.
Beneficiaries are: the OHSU Cancer
Institute, the Willamette Falls
Hospice, the Candlelighters (a
grass-roots organization supporting
children with cancer), Breast
Friends and Camp Erin.
This
is not a race to see who is the
fastest - the goal is for
consistency, and
the team whose times are the closest
between two days of racing is the
winner. Slow or fast, everyone has
the same chance! And you are
coached by the best, usually
including Phil and sometimes Steve
Mahre.

Cancer Ski Out Brochure.
