LO ACC Update

Published October 27, 2021

Lake Oswego Adult Community Center (ACC) Updates:

We look forward to welcoming the community back to the newly renovated ACC. We will host our grand re-opening events in the spring. The events are to include a comedy show, concert, Jindo and Drag Queen Bingo. We will start promoting in late winter.

Ribbon-Cutting Event:

When the time comes, we plan to have a ribbon-cutting event to officially re-open the ACC. We are currently accepting nominations for a ribbon cutter. Please submit your nomination, along with a reason as to why you are nominating said person to Maria at mbigelow@ci.oswego.or.us or leave a message at 503-534-5748. A possible theme to get the idea juices flowing could be a Past, Present, Future representation for the cutting.

Construction Update:

We have a fresh coat of exterior paint and cabinets have be delivered!

National Day of:

The mule. Yes…the mule. A mule is a mixed breed of a male donkey and a female horse. George Washington was very influential with the increase in the mule population in America. Donkeys came over with the early explorers and being small, George Washington wanted more mules. However Spain prohibited the exportation of the Andalusian donkey. The determined George Washington wrote to King Charles asking for permission to acquire a donkey and in late 1785 a gift from the King arrived in Boston harbor, three donkeys! And so, the influx of mules began, thanks to the generous gift from the King of Spain.

A Thought to Consider:

Do you prefer a surprise or anticipation?

  • Reimbursement checks are then sent directly to the person who purchased the item(s).
