It’s not over until you ….. Cancel your room reservation!
Committee chairs, co-chairs and event planners, take note: If you cancel your meeting or activity, remember to cancel your room reservation as well.
If an unwanted reservation is not cancelled, the reservation remains active in our online calendar, where it is accessed by Log Team editors, Reader Board organizers, and members. If it is not cancelled, it can become a notice in the newsletter, a listing on the Reader Board, and an empty room for members seeking a meeting. It also makes the room unavailable to others who might use it.
If you cancel a meeting, be sure to cancel it on TeamUp too, as soon as possible. Forms for changing reservations are available on the website, and are easy and quick to complete. Please help keep our reservations calendar current and accurate. Thank you!

The Office has welcomed Hannah Hedgehog. She was rescued by Mike and Terry Hilty #71 and brought here for some peace. It turns out she is from the English countryside. Hedgehogs are known to roll into a tight ball when trying to protect themselves. She was rolled through the leaves, which stuck to her tiny spikes. She made her way to Timber Valley’s garden, enjoying the wonderful tomatoes grown there! As the story goes, she is Henrietta’s long-lost cousin.
Timber Valley lost a vibrant, forever young member when Jan Turley passed away Sept 22, 2024 after battling shingles and a return of her leukemia. We will always remember: an avid Master Gardener, her yard awash with the plants she loved, a pinochle player with “the big boys”, a determined Fast Track player with “the girls”, a believer in Jesus, a lover of the Lamplighter cuisine, and so much more.
Tables were turned at the Friday, September 20 Social Hour. After handing out many pens to speakers over the past couple years, Sharon Elliott was presented with her own very special “magical pen” by Richard Hickethier. Sharon delivered an, as usual, entertaining presentation on her training experience as a Sutherlin Chamber of Commerce Ambassador. Complete with a slide show, put together with Richard’s help, she talked about the intense 5-day training in Lebanon, OR and what it means to represent a city as an Ambassador. The experience included learning about the city of Lebanon, activities available in the area, touring some of the businesses, and a train ride. One very interesting tour at the College of Osteopathic Medicine… something about labor and delivery of robot babies? You had to have been there.
Timber Valley lost a long time and treasured member on August 31, 2024 when Helen passed away. Helen was born in Chicago on December 13, 1936. She and her family moved to Bandon, Oregon in 1949 where her father and partner built and operated the Bandon Wayside Motel. She would graduate from Bandon High School and marry her sweetheart Gene Schrader in 1954. This past June 12 th Gene and Helen celebrated 70 years of marriage!
