Proposed Toll on Boones Bridge

Written by

Please see the following note from Gary Newbore- CCC Board President:

“Good afternoon, HOA Presidents,

The Oregon Department of Transportation has had a draft plan for some time now for putting a tolling station on the I-205 Abernathy Bridge in West Linn and another north of downtown Portland on I-5 to raise funds. They just amended that draft plan to include a third tolling station on the Boone Bridge. PERSONALLY I AM OUTRAGED! How many times a week does your family cross the Boone Bridge?  This plan splits the city of Wilsonville and unfairly penalizes residents of Charbonneau. Every time you go get groceries, go to the library, get gas, etc. just add $3-5 to your trip, depending on the actual toll amount they wind up charging. Or I guess you can always drive to Canby and pay the same thing in gas.

I am attaching the letter I sent on behalf of the CCC Board, but I ask all of you to forward this email to your HOA residents and strongly encourage them to send letters or emails to Bob Van Brocklin, Chair of the Oregon Transportation Commission.

If by mail the address is :  355 Capitol St. MS 11

                                    Salem, Oregon, 97301-8871

and if by email it is:  OHP Manager@odot.oregon.gov

The only way we are going be able to stop this thing is a huge outpouring of letters and emails to ODOT expressing our overwhelming objection to this unfair location of this proposed tolling station. One of ODOT’S objectives is to reduce carbon emissions and not increase VMT-vehicle miles traveled.  This does neither, in my opinion.

        A TOLL BOOTH ON THE BOONE BRIDGE WILL REDUCE YOUR PROPERTY VALUE AND MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO SELL YOUR HOUSE, AS WELL AS COST YOU A LOT OF MONEY TO GO TO OUR CITY OF WILSONVILLE.

So please encourage your HOA residents to get involved and send some letters or emails. Lets show them how the residents of Charbonneau feel! 

If you have any questions, please call me.

Gary”

Charbonneau Women’s Niner’s Pink Ball Golf Tournament fundraiser to fight cancer

Written by

SEPTEMBER 13 IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. PLEASE REGISTER AND CONSIDER BECOMING A SPONSER. SEE INFORMATION BELOW

 PLEASE SAVE THE DATE FOR SEPTEMBER 13, 2022!

Eighteen (18) years ago, the Charbonneau Women’s Niner’s Golf group, Wilsonville decided to make a difference in the fight against cancer and started the Pink Ball Golf Tournament.  From its modest beginnings, the Pink Ball Tournament has grown into the largest golf tournament in Charbonneau. 

 We are proud that the Pink Ball Golf Tournament has raised $345,242  for the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute since 2014 and additionally over $150,000 to Susan G. Komen and American Cancer Society.  100% of our proceeds are donated.

This year our Pink Ball Tournament will be on Tuesday, September 13th and will benefit the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute.  OHSU is one of five clinical trial sites investigating a blood test for cancerearly detection.   Your generosity is helping make research and care discoveries possible, so OHSU can provide the best care to patients, advance cancer research and help more people survive cancer.

 We are hoping you will join us in this worthwhile cause by participating, as a corporate sponsor at one of our four levels of sponsorship or donate an item/gift basket/certificate/gift cards for the auction. There will be close to 200 plus golfers and an additional 60-70 attending the luncheon, oral and silent auctions.    The OHSU Foundation will provide receipts for sponsorship donations made directlyto the OHSU Foundation.

LEVELS OF SPONSORSHIP:

Bronze:  $250 includes a Corporate Tee Box Sign and acknowledgement in the Tournament program.

Silver:    $500 includes a Corporate Tee Box Sign on each nine hole course and acknowledgement in the Tournament program.

 Gold:      $750 includes a Corporate Banner at the Clubhouse and registration area in addition to the Tee-Box Sign on each nine hole course and acknowledgement in the Tournament program.

 Diamond: $2,500 and above includes your Corporate Banners at the Clubhouse and Pro Shop visible to all players in addition to the Tee Box Sign on each nine hole course and SPECIAL acknowledgement during the awards ceremony.  Also includes lunch for up to 4 people, 9 holes of golf for tournament and cart! 

We have an Honor Wall recognizing those we have lost to cancer and/or are now in treatment for cancer. Tee-box Signs for a $50 donation are printed in their honor and placed around the entire course, the day of the event.  Ask us for a form. Remember family and friends. We have all been touched by this disease in one way or another.  This is one way of saying cancer will not win.  We are all in this fight together.

 Thank you for your consideration. I am available for questions. 503-694-8652   Checks can be made out to “OHSU Foundation” mailed to me: Lynn Theis 32153 SW Lake Dr., Wilsonville, OR 97070.

We have had a catalytic converter theft this week in CHOA. Please be aware that catalytic converter thefts target certain cars. No care is safe, but the most common cars are Prius, Tacoma, Lexus SUVs and Accords. If you are able to keep your cars in the garage, especially at night, please try to do so.

REMINDER – BARK DUST COMING!

Written by

This is a reminder that beginning July 11, Rexius will begin blowing bark dust on beds in the CHOA neighborhoods on the golf course side. Please be sure to have your plant beds cleaned up prior to this time. We expect it to take several days to complete the entire CHOA area. A Garron employee will be on-site during this time to help minimize any plant damage.

If you do not wish to have bark on your property, please email Steve Chinn at schinno@gmail.com, no later than July 7 and include your name, phone number and address, to advise him that you do not wish to have bark this year.
