"I want to recognize our First Responders, the Newberg Fire Department, for coming today and for their involvement in the safety of our residents," stated Roderick. "I have a personal check made out to Newberg Fire for $1,000 as a donation to your wonderful team and wish to thank you for all that you do." Many people spoke in recognition to those involved in the creation of Arbor Oaks Terrace and shared their thoughts as to how wonderful it was to have it in Newberg.

When one reads through the nominations and each story it is easy to understand why this program was launched. These are the people whom give us their time and our residents their attention and dedication.” Frontier Management asked its clients, vendors, partners, friends and the internal team members to contribute cash, gift cards and gifts toward the nominated employees from its senior living and health care properties and businesses.

“I am touched by the contributions by nearly 25 people and companies whom donated $4,209 in cash, $1,172 in gift cards and nearly 50 gifts valued at approximately $750 for a total of $6,131.” Roderick continued. Frontier will send 21 families a care package to provide them with a Helping Hand this holiday season. “Our goal is to send a heartfelt message to these wonderful people and to let them know that we truly care about them. We also wish each of our friends and staff members a safe and wonderful season and a tremendous New Year.” Roderick concluded.

"Our dear friends and colleagues are involved in this tremendous organization to lend help to families in need during a challenging medical treatment period. When my friend Phil Fogg, Jr. and his wife Angie (Marquis Companies) asked if we would consider sponsoring a table and attend this event, we immediately joined in," stated Greg Roderick, CEO of Frontier Management. The table guests were company COO, Matthew Dunham and his guest Paula, Jim and Chris Ekberg, Greg Roderick, and Chris and Chris Dudley.

"I was so happy that our table participants were generous in giving $6,000 to this organization which will directly impact and help many families during their period of challenge," stated Matthew Dunham. This organization provides a "home away from home" for families and their seriously ill children who travel far to receive treatment at Portland hospitals, and awards grants to non-profit organizations that offer children's immunizations and dental care.

“My children and I were so happy to be involved, demonstrate our genuine interest in those suffering from this disease and to have our friends [Chris Dudley and his family] join us in the walk,” stated Greg Roderick, Frontier’s CEO. “I have been walking in this event for many years, but I feel that this was the largest turn-out ever – likely due to the increased awareness and how this touches so many lives,” added Matthew Dunham, Chief Operating Officer of Frontier Management.
