Kudos to the Pendleton Center for the Arts for bringing the accomplished and energetic Scottish traditional music quartet The Fire to perform on July 22. This was a wonderful concert, featuring a wide variety of old and new music in the traditional style, by some very talented and dedicated musicians. The arts center is a tremendously important asset to our commu- nity that adds signifi cantly to the quality of life in our area. I also want to thank the anonymous donor who gave a contribution to the arts center for this concert in memory of my late, beloved husband, Jack Sanders. He would have been honored by this tribute to him, not only because of the caliber of the music, but also because of the musicians’ obvious profes- Trustime Retirement Plan Specialists, Inc. sionalism and pursuit of excellence in their calling, which were values that Jack shared. Woman applauds success of Bible school summer camp This letter is to congratulate the Presby- terian and Christian churches, who allowed me to assist with their Vacation Bible School Camp this summer.

They enjoyed treats that supported their activities at Cave Quest. Well done, Pendleton!
