Employee of the Month - March 2010 - Yuriy Moseyko

Yuriy has come a long way in the position Maintenance Supervisor. His above and beyond work ethics has helped the maintenance team build in knowledge, character, and teamwork. He is always willing to give a hand and stay late to get the property looking it's best. He challenges his employees in their daily work.

An example of his above and beyond work ethics, with an annual inspection from the City of Gresham he made sure everything went smoothly and made sure all the corrections were done in a timely manor. Kempton Downs has also been down a Maintenance Technician for almost two months and during that time he has been leading his team to make sure all work orders and turns are under control.

Thank you Yuriy for all the hard work you do!

Tanasbourne Terrace Spring Social

Tanasbourne Terrace annual spring celebration

Rain doesn’t hinder our residents from getting together and enjoying great company and a good indoor/old fashion Easter egg hunt. Residents, prospects and guests alike on Saturday April 3rd enjoyed refreshments, sweets and treats at our Annual Spring celebration. We hosted a large Easter egg hunt with over 60 eggs filled with goodies, a coloring contest, and a spoon race to see which contestant could get from one side of the room to the other the fastest without dropping their egg. We had prizes for first place winners for each event and little Easter baskets for all of the participants. Fun was had by all at Tanasbourne Terrace’s annual spring celebration.
