Chamber of Commerce applauds Jamboree effort
To the Editor:
I
Now that the 25th Vernonia
Friendship Jamboree is history, there
are some people who need to be
recognized.
First and foremost would be the
. Vernonia Police Department, under
the able leadership of Gordon
McLaughlin, who did an outstanding
job of keeping a very large crowd
; under control. There were very few
' “incidents” that I was aware of, and
those were handled with dignity and
restraint.
Along with lawn enforcement
services, our Vernonia EMT’s and
ambulance crews responded quickly
and professionally to all who needed
their services.
The owners of our local business
establishments where large crowds
Seniors need volunteers
' To the Editor:
Notice to Nehalem Valley Seniors:
We of the Vernonia Senior Center
are cordially inviting every senior in
our part of the Nehalem Valley to join
us in helping to keep our center up to
the standards we have attained in the
past.
Some of the financing for the center
has been discontinued so a helping
hand will be needed from each and
every senior, and every hour you can
spend at the center will be gratefully
appreciated.
There are many projects such as
paper rolling, caring far flea market
articles and sales, delivering meals on
wheels, helping to serve meals during
the lunch hours, and putting the
lunch room in order for the next day.
Come in and get acquainted, show
your community spirit and help keep
the center together.
There is something to interest each
and every one. While becoming
acquainted, you can “sip” coffee, roll
papers, play pool, attend painting,
quilting (in season), read or just chat
and laugh, but come. Membership
fees are $5 per year per person if you
would like to join, but you do not
have to be a member to be a part of
the many useful projects we have
going.
The center is open five days a week
from 8 am until 4 pm. There is a good
transportation system which we
would like to have help supporting so
that it can be kept in the community.
We will be listening for your call,
phone number is 429-3912.
