Readers Lend Their Voices... Lawyer in the Library:
To the Editor,
Please join United Way and
our Community Partners and help pro-
vide school supplies so our children
can begin school ready to learn and
not worried about having the necessary
supplies. All donations stay within the
community where they are made. Look
for the “Official Drop Site” sign at these
businesses in Vernonia: R&S Market,
U.S. Bank, West Oregon Electric, Ver-
nonia Library, Bridge Street Mini Mart,
Vernonia Hardware, and Wauna Credit
Union- on Aug 19 there will be a bus at
this site from 2 to 5 pm for you to drop
off your donations.
Not sure what to pur-
chase?
Check your school web-
site for a current school supply list.
There are “Stuff the Bus” drop sites in
Clatskanie, St. Helens, Vernonia, Raini-
er and Scappoose. If you need more in-
formation contact United Way at (503)
556-3614 or email uwcc@hotmail.com
