Annual Pancake Breakfast



Tables all set for pancake breakfast
  Columbia Land Conservancy held their annual member and volunteer Pancake Breakfast in Triform's beautiful Phoenix Center on a bright but frigid Saturday morning. We have had a good experience welcoming CLC to use the Phoenix Center as a venue for their annual celebration before, and were glad to host this lovely event again.

More than 200 people were in attendance to share in the delicious pancakes, sausage and ham and to hear Triform's Bell Choir perform. The scent of coffee drew people into the friendly atmosphere of the Phoenix Center, where music and chatter filled the air. As it was close to St. Patrick's Day, the Bell Choir played a celtic song and a welcome Spring melody. It was very charming to see Akiko's (the Bell Choir conductor) two children (Yoshiya and Ayaka) playing cello and bells respectively, and to see new student Molly, and proud day student Brandon, debut in the choir. In the foyer, Triform marketplace sold craft items and we were able to forge new relationships with people who had never been to Triform before.

CELEBRATING TRIFORM VOLUNTEER COWORKERS

By Meg Henderson The new Triform co-workers for the year 2016-17   Triform’s volunteer coworkers are special people.  It takes really motivated, idealistic and energetic people to commit to a year or more of volunteer work.   This year I am particularly struck by the dedication of our coworkers and inspired by what talents they offer so open-heartedly.  

You Must Be...

You Must Be... by Noah Levinson P. Wilson                 The resemblance was so striking that the cliche left my mouth almost automatically: “You must be Pierre’s brother.” He was. Light brown and reddish hair, a ruddy complexion, some ineffable quality in the eyes and lips—it was just short of eerie, like seeing some alternate-universe version of Pierre himself.              Pierre, who has Down syndrome, is in his late thirties, well into his second decade at Triform. He is easily one of the most popular figures in the community, winning many hearts with a combination of charm and calculated mischief, without the benefit of very much language ability. Pierre is just great. Nearly everyone who works with him falls in love.
