Senior Citizens Council of Clackamas County to present
Citizen for Seniors Award to Teresa Kaady at June 9 dinner auction
 
OREGON City, Ore. – The Senior Citizens Council of Clackamas County (SCCCC) will present its 2012 Citizen for Seniors Award to Teresa Kaady, administrator at Rose Linn Vintage Place in West Linn. The 24-hour nursing residential facility, which includes a memory care unit, serves 68 clients.

The presentation will take place at the SCCCC’s annual fundraising dinner and silent auction 6:15-9 p.m. on June 9. Ticket reservations and event sponsorships for the event are now available by calling (503) 657-1366.

The event will take place at the Oregon Golf Club, 25700 S.W. Petes Mountain Road in West Linn. Tickets are $50. Table sponsorships are available for $500. Hillside Chapel of Oregon City is the lead sponsor.

“Teresa believes that each resident’s life story is unique and important and it shows in the care she provides,” said SCCCC Executive Director Christi Bird. “We  have worked with Teresa for the last 10 years. She provides us an accurate, honest assessment of each client’s needs and whether or not she can develop a care plan to meet those needs. To her credit and our good fortune, Teresa is creative and sensitive in her approach to care giving. She believes everyone deserves the best and that nursing truly has to come from the heart.” 

The event will also feature a benefit performance by standup comedian Dave Anderson, co-host of the highly rated “Mark and Dave Show” on 1190 KEX Radio in Portland and host of the long running morning television talk show “AM Northwest” on KATU-TV Channel 2. Anderson has performed at the country’s premier comedy clubs, including the world famous Improv in Los Angeles. He has appeared on numerous television shows such as: “Star Search,” Showtime’s “Comedy Club Network,” and “An Evening at the Improv.” 

SCCCC is marking its 40th anniversary this year of providing services for home-bound, frail, vulnerable and geographically isolated individuals. Not available anywhere else, its programs promote independence, improve quality of life and prevent or end abuse, neglect (including self-neglect) and exploitation of at-risk seniors and adults with disabilities.

In November 2011 Portland Monthly Magazine's Light A Fire Charity Event honored the SCCCC with its Light A Fire award as the top nonprofit organization in the region that serves senior citizens.
