Mark your calendars for our 2025 Charbonneau Christmas Cookie Exchange, happening on Monday, Dec. 22! All residents are welcome to join us in the Hazelglade Room at the Activity Center from 10 a. m.-noon.
Please bring a dozen holiday decorated cookies on a platter for the exchange and a dozen to share at the party. This is also a time to share favorite Christmas traditions and memories with each other. Did you string cranberries and popcorn on your Christmas tree? Go caroling with neighbors? Pretend Santa was on the roof with your children?

During the month of October, the Boys & Girls Aid Headquarters had an exhibit showcasing 140 years of service to the community of
LOFFINK Oregon. It was quite a display and the documents, pictures, personal letters, and memorabilia that were kept and survived in good condition were amazing. There was a plethora of information that gave insight into the ever-changing city of Portland and the State of Oregon. Because the BGA was an integral part of the city, this was a true reflection of society during many phases of the area’ s development, attitudes and tolerances. While much has changed since its founding in 1885, what has remained constant
