Oregon Scottish Rite Clinics Update
A Message From Our S.G.I.G Regarding the Portland Language Clinic and the Board of Directors
Dear Brethren,
I hope this finds you healthy and in very good spirits.
I have an update on the clinic board and the status of the clinics. The Clinic board met this last Friday and after looking at our finances and discussing what direction we feel we should go, we voted 7 to 1 to close the Portland Clinic. There are some very exciting therapies out there and we are exploring many of them. The decision has been made to work with the three Universities in Oregon that have speech pathologist programs. Which university and how much we work with them is still part of the process we have to explore. We feel that we can help children that have speech difficulties and train new pathologist at the same time. (A daily double) The board also feels that we will be more efficient with the funds that have been entrusted to us.
The board voted unanimously to meet on a quarterly basis. This does not mean that the labors of the board will not continue daily, but we will officially meet quarterly.
Thank you and God bless you all!
Gary Kuney, 33°
