Three new faces on the Board Top Left, caption — Penny Kirk sells It has been a time of change for our CCC Board of Direc- tors. Last month I reported that three board members had HARP resigned for very different reasons. This month I am happy to report that three new board directors have joined our Board. We are grateful for their willingness to serve their community at a time when many decisions are being contemplated for our future. We had six amazing applicants for three positions. cookies donated by Whim Studios during the annual Pink Ball Tournament in Charbonneau.

Bottom Left, caption Community members gathered at the Country Club during the Pink Ball tournament. Thank you to all of you who stepped up to serve our community. The new members going forward with us are Gene Tish, John McLain, and Gary Newbore. Also, as I mentioned previously, we are asking our community to get ac- tively involved in our CCC commit- tees. A HUGE thank you to Sandy Batte for stepping up to chair our Emergency Preparedness Committee and also thanks to Jerry Baker for volunteering to assist her. Another HUGE thank you to Wayne Richards, who is now heading our Civic Affairs Committee. Also, many thanks to those residents who have stepped for- ward to help Sandy and Wayne con- tinue these very important commit- tees. We are all grateful for every vol- unteer who helps in any way in our community. There is so much expertise here in Charbon- neau — together we will ensure Char- bonneau continues to be an amazing place to live — not only in the few years ahead, but also for generations who will follow us. As an update on the Annex, Bob Beauchemin, who was originally hired last year to be our owners representa- tive, is continuing that role moving forward. We are anticipating three phases: demolition of the old restau- rant building, forming a task force to work out costs, design details and out- reach to the community, and finally construction. We plan to have our community actively involved in our task force phase. There will be more information on this in the months ahead. Demolition could begin as ear- ly as the end of October. Our CCC Board has been meeting at least twice a month for the past sev- eral months to work through our An- nex decisions and a variety of other community concerns. This commit- See PRESIDENT’S COLUMN / Page 24 WilsonvilleStage welcomes guest director Aaron Morrow for ‘Sylvia’ By CLAIRE GREEN A nyone who has owned a dog knows that they can turn your life upside down. Middle- aged New Yorker Greg finds this out first-hand when he comes across a large dog in the park, only identified by a heart-shaped dog tag reading “Sylvia.” Taking a fancy to her, with no owner in sight, Greg decides that she’ll be a great addition to his and his wife Kate’s empty-nester life. But, upon meeting Sylvia, it becomes clear that Kate is not a dog person. At odds, Sylvia becomes a source of tension in the couple’s 22-year marriage, with a clueless and doting Greg becoming more attached to Sylvia and Kate growing pettier and more competitive with the dog by the day. “Anyone who has ever owned a pet (especially dogs) will love how richly and humorously A.R. Gurney has created Sylvia, the titular canine,” director Aaron Morrow said. “Anyone that has been in a loving relationship with another will connect with the realness of Kate and Greg’s wit and relationship; and then there is the broad and wickedly funny humor of the individual actor that plays Tom, Phyllis, and Leslie to meld together the rest.” Running for a total of nine shows over three weekends, Morrow said that directing A.R. Gurney’s critically acclaimed comedy has been a bucket list item of his since playing Greg a few years ago at Gallery Theater in McMinnville. “Sylvia has a little something for everyone to connect with,” Morrow said. “It is a guaranteed opportunity to laugh, and to maybe shed a tear or two.” For tickets, a full synopsis, and venue information, go to wilsonvillestage.org and stay tuned to WilsonvilleStage’s official Facebook page facebook.com/ WilsonvilleSTAGE.org for updates and sneak-peeks.
