Students hold fundraiser for United Way
United Way of Clatsop County
Astoria Middle School teacher Carrie Kaul’s sixth-grade Wellness Class, pictured, conducted a United Way Walk as a class project on April 16 that was a healthy activity and
benefited the community. The students developed the idea themselves, and many reached out to family, friends and community members for sponsorship. KRKZ Hits 94.3
FM sponsored each participating student at $1 per lap, per student. During the walk, the class completed 175 laps, equaling 43.75 miles in just 30 minutes, exceeding their
classroom fundraising goal by raising over $1,000 for United Way of Clatsop County.

Real estate brokers
volunteer at
Camp Kiwanilong
CANNON BEACH —
Local real estate brokers from
the North Oregon Coast par-
ticipated in Windermere Real
Estate’s 35th annual Commu-
nity Service Day by volunteer-
ing at Camp Kiwanilong in
Warrenton on May 22.
Brokers from Windermere
Realty Trust’s Cannon Beach
and Gearhart offices spent the
day placing new mattresses in
all of the camp’s cabins.
In the past, youth camp-
ers would need to bring their
own bedrolls to the lodge.
Now,
through
donations
from community organiza-
tions, including Windermere
Realty Trust, all Camp Kiwan-
ilong beds were outfitted with
mattresses.
