Back To School Backpack Drive

Let’s Hear it For the Band (and its Director)Steve Heuser of the Lake Oswego branch retired from conducting the Tualatin Valley Community Band in July, after 23 years as director.

Steve is a graduate in music education from the Conservatory of Music and Dance in Kansas City, Mo. and joined the band soon after its inception. It has grown from 14 musicians to more than 65, all volunteers. He has been playing since he was 8 and says the band has been like an instrument for him. He has enjoyed helping people be better than they thought they could be and to have fun while doing it.

Way to go to our agents for purchasing backpacks and school supplies to donate to kids in their areas who otherwise would not have supplies for the new school year. Hillsboro collected 25 backpacks, Moreland collected 50 backpacks for high schoolers plus additional supplies. West Hills filled 65 backpacks. Vancouver Mall filled 27 and Sunset Corridor collected 19. Not pictured are Broadway’s 44 backpacks, Suburban SW’s 30, Lake Oswego’s 46, Gresham’s 12, Sunnyside’s 39 and Admin’s 6. That’s 338 local kids who went back to school ready to learn thanks to our agents and staff!
