2025 PIONEER OF THE YEAR NOMINATION FORM

We've created a PIONEER OF THE YEAR nomination form.  If you have a Pioneer you'd like to nominate it gives you the information you need.

The TCPA Executive Board will be voting by secret ballot at our next meeting on May 14th, 2025

"INSIDE A PIONEER'S LIFE" QUESTIONS

Starting with our June Membership Meeting, the TCPA Board is going to begin a series of interviews entitled: "Inside A Pioneer's Life".  We'll be interviewing one Pioneer/meeting that would volunteer to be interviewed and recorded.   Our purpose is to learn more about our Pioneer's lives and add to the TCPM oral history library.  

Every Pioneer will be asked the same 10 questions.  The questions have not been selected yet, but here are some possible ones (there are more than 10 here):

• When did your family first come to Tillamook County?
• Where did you attend elementary school?
• What did you most enjoy doing with your family as you were growing up?
• What Christmas traditions do you remember growing up? (smells, sights, etc.)
• What did your parents and grandparents do for a living
• How did your parents meet?
• What family traditions would you like to see passed on?
• What person had the greatest influence on your life?
• Do you have a favorite saying or advice you live by?
• What are your favorite hobbies?
• What are the most important changes you've seen in your lifetime?

If you have a burning Pioneer question you'd like added to the list, please contact us at tcpa1934@gmail.com.  We'll be deciding on the questions later in May. Thanks for your help.

PUD Community Support Received!

TCPA applied for and received a $5,000 PUD Community Support Grant  for 2025.  With this grant we are refinishing the floor of the fairgrounds Pioneer Building.

If you see a PUD Board member, please thank them.

The floor will require more funds, so if you're inclined to donate to this project, please contact us at tcpa1934@gmail.com or call 503-842-7596 and leave a message.
