P. E.O. Wreath Sale
This year marks P. E.O.’s 25 th season
of providing Christmas wreaths that fund local
scholarships. P. E.O. wants to make sure that
people in and around Vernonia get these gorgeous
wreaths that deco rate so many front doors. For
many of us, this is the first holiday decoration to
appear, a sure-fire way to get the Christmas Spirit
going.
This pre-sale order plan helps us make
sure to have an ample supply. Call Mary Tolonen,
(503) 429-7214, to place your order now. There
will also be wreaths for sale at the Christmas
Bazaar while supplies last.
The price is once again $20 for a 22-to 24-
inch diameter wreath. They may be picked up at
the bazaar or can be delivered to you. Prepayment
is encouraged.
And, as always, all proceeds
are used to fund scholarships for women in our
community.
See you at the Christmas Bazaar December
