Latino Community Association revives Gala de Oro
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) Last year, the Latino Community Association was forced to cancel its Gala de Oro fundraiser due to the pandemic and missed this opportunity to celebrate its monumental 20th anniversary.
Instead, LCA raised funds to help workers laid off in the pandemic, gave out masks and sanitizer, joined with local clinics to provide COVID testing and vaccinations, and moved its education programs online.
This year, if health guidelines allow, LCA will bring its Latin cuisine, stories of success, and dance rhythms to a Gala de Oro on July 23 from 5:30 pm to midnight at Seventh Mountain Resort in Bend.
Drawing the Lines
State lawmakers are drawing new maps for the State House and Senate, as well as U.S. Congressional Districts. What will this mean for Central Oregon? Against the backdrop of Census data delays and a packed legislative session, Oregon lawmakers are embarking on the once-a-decade process of redistricting, in which they redraw the lines for state House and Senate districts, along with the U.S. Congressional Districts based on shifts in population. In order to evenly distribute the population, each Oregon Senate district will need to be around 138,00 people and each House district will need around 69,000 people. Central Oregon s districts are far over those marks and will need to shed numbers. But while experts predict that these districts will shrink, they will likely stay true to shape.
Deschutes County expands eligibility requirements and speeds ahead with vaccinations, while Oregon still lags behind other states On April 5, frontline workers and their families, people over 16 with underlying health conditions and people living in multigenerational homes become eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine in Oregon. Deschutes County was one of 23 counties, including Crook and Jefferson, that expanded eligible groups ahead of the state. After gaining approval from the Oregon Health Authority, St. Charles Health System began sending invitations on March 31 to newly eligible Central Oregonians who pre-registered at centraloregoncovidvaccine.com. Last week, 3,000 members of this group deemed Phase 1B Group 7 in the state s vaccine rollout received their first shot at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center.
