Dungarvin Celebrates Oregon Staff with Carnival-Themed Appreciation Events

Dungarvin Oregon recently hosted its two annual Staff Appreciation events in Portland and Eugene. The festivities kicked off for the Portland team Sept. 23 at Red Sunset Park, followed the next day by an event for Eugene staff at the Ruskin Home. Individuals supported by Dungarvin Oregon also joined in the fun.

Oregon’s “Fungarvin” Committee planned the events with a “Circus, Circus!” theme, “and, boy, did they deliver!” said Oregon State Director Brenda Linden. “Staff enjoyed a variety of carnival-style games, fun photo booths and delicious food, including hot dogs, cotton candy, snow cones – we even had fresh-made fry bread by our Program Director Lynda Hendrix.”

Each attendee received a “passport” to visit different activity stations, collecting stamps along the way. From face painting and ring toss to photo ops and other creative challenges, everyone joined in the fun for a chance to earn raffle tickets for prizes.

“It was truly wonderful to see so many people there, sharing laughs, catching up and celebrating all the amazing work our teams do every single day,” Brenda said. “These events are one of the highlights of our year, and from start to finish, the events were filled with great energy, smiles, and lots of memorable moments.”
