June/July 2010
The petunia baskets are
hung. The flower boxes are planted. The Bar-b- cue is seeing
some use. These are all tell tale signs that Mountain Meadows
is geared up and our residents and staff are ready to shake off
the confinement of Spring’s drizzle and embrace the freedom that
comes with the arrival of summer. Already on the schedule is
the Father’s Day luncheon, fishing at the hatchery, and the
annual picnic at Rayfield’s private campground. We are all
excited to see what our Activity Director; Fern Arness has
planned for us this season.
All of us at Mountain
Meadows thought that we would be in a major building project at
this time of the year. Unfortunately, the loan process has
taken much longer than anticipated. I assure you, we are
continuing to move forward with the building expansion and
remodel. Recently, we received notice that our loan application
was approved by our lender, CWCapitol LLC of Vancouver, WA.
This approval is a major step in obtaining financing from the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). The loan
application has been submitted to HUD for a firm mortgage
commitment. Although it may be a lengthy process, we are trying
to be patient and look forward to a ground breaking ceremony
sometime in the near future.
The opportunity to
participate in “The Gates Great Giving Match” is coming to a
close as of June 30. Many have participated and soon Mountain
Meadows will reap the benefits from those who supported us
through generous donations. The continued support of the
Leavenworth community and surrounding area is so greatly
appreciated. Not only have the residents and “facility
operations fund” benefited, but it is exciting to know that the
future expansion of Mountain Meadows has progressed from the
generous donations of our community.
Warmer days, cool nights,
blue skies and the beauty of our valley remind us that life is
truly wonderful. A joyful person wrote, "Write it on your
heart . . . that EVERY day is the best day of the year."
Warm wishes,
Nate Oglesby
