WALLA WALLA, Wash. —
Sometimes the holidays are not the
most wonderful time of the year,
especially if you are grieving.
The holidays can be a very dif-
fi cult time for people who have
experienced the death of some-
one they love. Memories of good
times and togetherness at the hol-
iday season serve to remind us of
their loss.
Walla Walla Community Hos-
pice welcomes the community to
an afternoon online workshop on
Sunday, Nov. 22, from 1-3 p.m.,
facilitated by the Hospice Bereave-
ment Team, consisting of staff
social workers and spiritual sup-
port counselors. Participants can
expect thoughtful discussion and
to learn strategies, which may help
them through the season.
Any residents experiencing
grief in Walla Walla, Columbia
and Northeast Umatilla counties
are welcome. The workshop will
be online using the Zoom platform.
WWCH is asking attendees to
RSVP ahead of time so they know
Sherri Seivert (front) and fellow Lions Club members (left to right) Sean Degan, Randee Bronson and Rita Camp-
bell assisted Red Cross team member Mallory, right, with a blood drive at the Pendleton VFW Post 922 hall on
Oct. 27, 2020.

2020. Lions members Sean Degan,
Randee Bronson and Rita Camp-
bell assisted with the effort.

of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post

with the VFW to donate the space
so the blood drive could be held
in a space that could be socially
distanced.

subsequent blood drives every
other month on the fourth Tues-
day, at the VFW Hall at 1221 S.E.
Court Place in Pendleton, for the
next fi ve months. The next blood
drive will be held Dec. 22 from
12:30-5:30 p.m.
