HONORING OUR
VOLUNTEERS!
The Sutherlin Visitors Center Volunteers are simply the
best! These delightful folks work different shifts on
different days of the week so, we decided to give them
an opportunity to meet each other and also meet our
Board Members.
Our Volunteers greet travelers and local residents
alike with smiles and enthusiasm. They cover shifts
for each other at the drop of a hat. They are proud of
their community and provide resources to both local
residents and out of town travelers.

They are truly the faces of Sutherlin and we are so
proud that they choose to volunteer their time with the
Visitors Center.
The festivities were held at the Rotary Event Center. We
were honored to have Mayor Todd McKnight attend
and offer heartfelt thanks from The City of Sutherlin!
The Sutherlin Area Chamber provided each volunteer
with a Certificate of Appreciation along with a goodie
bag containing gift certificates to three Local Chamber
Businesses, Tub Time Treasures, Cedar Ridge Galleries
and Ruff Day Lattes. Creative Catering made sure that
we were delighted with delicious hors d’oeuvres and
met our requests to include gluten free and vegan in the
menu beautifully! A big thank you to Theresa Solem, our
fabulous Board Treasurer for being our wine pour gal.
Since not all of our volunteers were able to attend, we
look forward to another Appreciation Party in the Spring!
