Thank you to everyone who attended Art Hampton’s birthday party! And to the family and friends who traveled here for the big event. 100+ people made a very festive occasion. Thank you Jacks and Jills and Chapter Nine for sponsoring the party. Thank you to all the volunteers who planned it, set up the rooms, prepared and served the delicious cakes, provided the entertainment and the amazing number of people who made clean up pretty darn easy.
I was proud and happy to be a member of Timber Valley Park today. Being part of such a warm and friendly and fun community is pretty special in today’s world. And it takes all of us to make it work – the members who present the event and the members who support that effort by showing up ready to have fun and lend a hand where needed.
We have our differences sometimes and being a self-managed community can be frustrating and hard work but days like today remind us how worthwhile it can be. One of our neighbors turned 100 years old today! And we celebrated that momentous event in grand style and with plenty of laughter.
At the recent Jack and Jills meeting we talked about the upcoming 4th of July golf cart parade. One of last year’s participants said that we not only need “paraders” we need spectators sitting outside their rigs and “rah-rah-ing” those paraders. Today we had lots of rah-rah-ers and it makes it all worth it!
Thank you for participating today and let’s keep rah-rah-ing!

We are new members. Sorry we missed Art’s Bday. We are enjoying Escapade. We hope to be there by July 4th to sit outside and cheer on the Golf Cart Parade.
I’ll second that!
Kudos to the committee that made it happen.♥️
Very positive and uplifting article. Thanks Barbara.
We were thrilled to be a part of Art’s 100th birthday celebration. It was wonderful seeing many friends there. I moved from Timber Valley almost five years ago. I still consider it my home and will continue to visit whenever I can. Art and Max are absolutely amazing people in an amazing park.
I’m so sorry I missed this wonderful celebration. I had surgery that day and it wiped me out. Skip was able to attend and told me all about it. It sounded wonderful!
I was honored to attend the Sutherlin City Council meeting when they recognized Art.
Thank you to everyone who planned the celebration and contributed to the sharing of pictures and the video.

Thank you to the party committee. You guys did a magnificent job of celebrating Art’s birthday. I agree with Barbara. Let’s keep volunteerism and the rah, rah events going. Thank you for all of the work you did.
