The annual Party on the Patio began after Randy Proctor passed in 2006 as a
way to honor his memory.

First held as a fundraiser for Relay for Life, the event shifted gears to benefit
Mt. Hood Hospice, and since the beginning, Party on the Patio has raised more
than $220,000 for the two organizations, according to Cathy Stuchlik,
Proctor’s sister and President of Clackamas County Bank.

The event, which raised $22,304 last year, features live music by The
Substitutes, a silent auction and drawing from 5-10 p.m. Saturday, June 30,
at the Zigzag Inn, 70162 E. Hwy. 26. Tickets are $10 for adults and children
12 and under are free, and attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs.

Auction items will include original artwork, garden art and lodging gift
certificates, while the raffle winner will receive a Green Mountain smoker grill
and a $500 gift certificate to White’s Country Meats. Raffle tickets are $5 each
or five for $20, and no need to be present to win.

Stuchlik noted that she sees so many of the same people coming back each
year, while also adding that people share stories about her brother.

“We have fun,” she said. “Every year it just gets better.”
