18 THE CHARBONNEAU VILLAGER October 2019 AAUW Lake Oswego presents Oregon Foster Youth Connection discussion By KAREN ROTTINK American Association of Univer- sity Women Lake Oswego presents a discussion led by members of the Oregon Foster Youth Connection, a Children First for Oregon Program Arts Association Q From Page 17 artist and paint daily, Elaine is en- couraging me to expand my studies to include design, so my paintings have something that sets them apart. I appreciate her efforts to help me im- prove my compositions and to expose me to new opportunities with my art.” Asked about her current interests in painting, Cathi says, “I love to paint a variety of subjects, especially peoples’ beloved pets. Peoples’ pets are a delight to paint, and I love cap- turing their unique spirits. “My preferred medium is water- color, but I’ve found acrylic perfect for some paintings, especially larger on Oct. 12, 2019 at 10 a.m. at Oswe- go Heritage House, 398 10th St., Lake Oswego. We warmly invite the public to this special event. Free, no tickets needed. News coverage of Oregon’s foster care system has repeatedly indicated that the system is not meeting the needs of all the young people in their care. Changes are in process. Gover- nor Brown is including young people who have experienced foster care in discussions of proposed changes. The Oregon Foster Youth Connection’s mission is to improve the foster care system through advocacy, activism and leadership. Membership includes current and former foster youth who wish to share their voices on issues affecting foster care in Oregon. Dur- ing the past year Oregon Foster Youth Connection has advocated for formats. I love flowers and all man- ner of natural subjects and find ma- ny inspirations while walking the dog in my beautiful neighborhood, or while hiking and golfing.” Cathi has exhibited her art in the Charbonneau Clubhouse as well as in our annual Charbonneau Arts Festival. This year she is adding to her career as an artist by offering cards and wrapped art pieces for sale in addition to pieces she plans to exhibit. All in all, Cathi McLain exempli- fies the personal growth and volun- teer spirit that makes Charbonneau so special.
