4 letters to the editor/community bulletin board january2 2014 Readers Lend Their Voices... To the Editor, On behalf of Vernonia Cares Food Bank, I would like to commend the strong community support of the Holiday Food Boxes. This project was only possible through generous donations via food drives, financial donations, and multiple hours of volunteer labor. Your local food bank provided 180 households, containing over 600 people, with the turkey and groceries for their Christmas meal. Please see the pictures, located elsewhere in this publication, for some of the people and food items which were generously donated. Thank you, one and all, for caring with this food bank about our community and working to make this a better place. You are amazing! Sandy Welch, Exec Director Vernonia Cares Food Bank you and your support we raised almost $2,000 this year for new LED lights for our town, and it helped to pay for a new updated sleigh at the tree lighting. We would also like to thank the family that donated the sleigh to us. We greatly appreciate it, and it was fun making it look new again! Thank you as well to everyone who donated supplies or time to help make this town look so great, as well as everyone who helped with the individual events and competitions. We are blessed to have you all! A special thanks to the actors and staff from Bag and Baggage who performed A Christmas Carol at the Grange. What a wonderful gift to our community. We look forward to next year, and have some great ideas that will make our town look even more festive! Our committee meeting schedule can be found on the Chamber of Commerce website. To the Editor, The Spirit of Christmas in Vernonia, The Spirit of Christmas in and the Vernonia Area Chamber of Vernonia Committee would like to Commerce extend a very big THANK YOU to this wonderful community.
