A huge thank you to Pam Rilatos (aka best friend) for helping out for the month and the time she volunteered. We couldn’t have done it without you. The transition went very smoothly thanks to all of you. We hope everyone enjoyed the Kettle Chips that were given to the Siletz-area and the Salem-area commu nities. Maybe they were a good 4th of July treat. It was fun to see all the people who picked them up. Please give us a call if you are in terested in being a client or volunteer - 1-800-922-1399 or 541-444-2532; Kitti Hostler, USDA director, or Joyce Retherford, USDA clerk. Happy meals!
