They were greatly appreciated. As of now we are both on our way to good health again. Bob & Lillian Scroggins Vernonia To the Editor, This letter is to clean up some of the misconceptions about the Scout Cabin. A lot of people still think it belongs to the City. It does not; it belongs to the Friends of the Scout Cabin. The property that the Scout Cabin sits on, including the front and back parking lots, are leased from the City. The public is allowed to use our parking areas when we don’t have a scheduled event. All maintenance, which includes blowing off the deck and front parking before each event, cleaning and scheduling rentals, has all been done by three volunteers who are now starting on their thirteenth year. This building is a high maintenance facility. Every three years the building and railings need to be re- finished, the deck every two. This is a large expense for us. Our total income for this year was $5,225.94; our expenses $5,151,53, leaving a profit of $74.41. You can see we can not pay for the work our volunteers do. 2013 Vernonia Lake Trout Stocking by Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife March 11 March 25 April 8 April 29 3,500 Rainbow 4,000 Rainbow 3,000 Rainbow 2,500 Rainbow DeLoris Webb Friends of the Scout Cabin To the Editor, On February 24, 2013 three local girls participated in the 2013 Miss Teen Portland pageant.
