Board member Janet B and residents Venilla, Holly and Angela set up a lemonade booth at the 3 Strands Farm event in Molalla today. We like to use these opportunities not only for fundraising for Shelly's House but for friendraising as well. Sounds like everyone had fun. AND not only was there lots of lavendar products and other vendors, there were free hotdogs to celebrate America's 150 of independence.

We met a woman named Sarah at the Alternative Market back in December. It is intended to be a fundraiser but we call it a friendraiser. Sarah asked if the women at Shelly's House of Salem would be interested in learning how to write poetry. Yes, there were many interested women. Sarah came to the house last weekend with journals and instructional criteria for the women. They had a great time and wrote some really good poems. Thank you Sarah for your interest in sharing your talents with these beautiful women of Shelly's House.

We recently voted in our newest board member. She isn't new to Shelly's House though.....drumroll please......our newest board member is Suzanne Chavarria!!!

Suzanne was born in Salem and comes from a large family. She has three full-siblings and eight half-siblings. She has lived in North Dakota, California, Idaho, Washington, Montana and Minnesota. Her favorite place that she has ever visited is the Badlands in South Dakota because of all of the buffalo.

Suzanne first moved into Shelly's House in February of 2022. After a relapse and a brief time in rehab, she moved back into Shelly's House in July of 2022. Suzanne moved up to be the house manager in December of 2023. Suzanne graduated from Marion County Drug Court this past year.

Suzanne has four children and has been with her significant other, Eric, since 2019. Her favorite food is seafood. Her dream vacation would be to Hawaii to swim with turtles. She has a cat named Itty Bitty who patrols the Shelly's House grounds and sometimes joins us for board meetings. When asked what her favorite thing about Shelly's House was, she said, "the women, the camaraderie."

Shelly's House would not be what it is today without Suzanne. Suzanne is the backbone of Shelly's House. She speaks her mind but has a heart of gold. She also doesn't shy away from holding the Shelly's House residents to a high standard. We appreciate you so much! Welcome to the Board!!!!
