When you wake up in your warm bed tomorrow morning with your head comforted on a pillow and warmth under the blankets, think about this: 39 children in our communities are also waking up in a brand new warm bed because of your efforts. These children used to sleep on the floor because they had no bed.

Last February, Sisters Rotarians and partners Kiwanis assembled at Hoyt’s Lumber to build beds for children and Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Beds were equipped with homemade quilts donated from Sisters’ quilters groups. A

s of October 2026, all 39 of those beds have been installed in Central Oregon homes.

Hal Darcey led the charge with building and installations; Julie Fugate collected the homemade quilts; Jim Lanzarotta wrote the grants, and many Sisters Rotarians helped with building, installations, grant-writing, and partnerships with Sleep in Heavenly Peace.

As a proud Rotary President, I have helped to tell this story and will continue to shout out in gratitude of your success.
