Announcement: “Junk-in-the-Trunk” Is Coming Up Soon in Vernonia! Last year’s sale was well- attended, everyone had a good time, and P.E.O. received a much-appreciated boost for support of ongoing projects. P.E.O.’s mission is, as always, to support women in reaching their educational goals. Here’s a fun way to find entic- ing treasures—by browsing through the trunks of cars. It’s amazing the volume and variety of items that can be dis- played this way—of course goods over- flow the trunks, so tables are added for the overflow, and there’s ample room to explore. This crazy event will be held on July 14 from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm, or until the junk (treasures, that is) are sold out. The location will be next to Meyer’s Auto Body on the grassy area next to Spencer Park. Look for signs. Recent P.E.O. business included election of officers for the chapter: President: Coni Hodgson; V. President: Tobie Finzel; Recording Secretary: Mary Tolonen; Treasurer: Myrrhina Kibben; Corresponding Secretary: Patty Buchanan; and Guard: Beth Kintz. Any of these ladies will be happy to answer any questions you have about the Junk in their Trunks!

She is kind of shy, but does not seem to mind other cats in the cattery. She is about 2 years old, is spayed, and weighs right around 8 lbs. She would love a home to call her own. Once she is settled we feel that she is going to be very loveable and sweet. Her adoption fee is $145. If you would like to meet this sweet girl please don't hesitate to call 503-397-4353 or email animalwelfare@columbiahumane.org.
