HERMISTON — All veterans are
invited to a free veterans picnic at Herm-
iston’s McKenzie Park on Saturday, Sept.
25. The event, sponsored by Hermiston’s
American Legion and Auxiliary Post
37, will be 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the
Rotary Shack on the park’s north side.
Legion and Auxiliary members will
provide plates, cutlery and an assort-
ment of salads, plus baked beans, char-
coal-grilled hamburgers and hot dogs.
Post members also will provide condi-
ments, chips, lemonade and bottled water.
Dessert will include cookies and fresh-
picked watermelons donated by Walchli
Farms. Members are welcome to bring
additional side dishes or desserts, but none
are required.
Cathy Stolz, Hermiston’s American
Legion Auxiliary president, said, “Area
veterans need only bring their immedi-
ate family, a hefty appetite and perhaps a
folding chair or two.”
The Veterans Picnic is a social event
for veterans to meet together. However,
always seeking to help veterans, the
Legion and Auxiliary have invited
Umatilla County Veteran Service officers
to attend the picnic. In addition, Legion
officers have resources available and wish
to assist their fellow veterans in any way
possible.
Membership forms will be available
for veterans desiring to join the nation’s
largest veterans organization, which has
been helping veterans since March 15,
1919, more than 102 years. The major
requirement for membership is that an
honorable discharge was earned after
service in the U.S. military, including
the Coast Guard and Merchant Marines
(World War II only). Overseas service
is not mandatory. To further encourage
veterans to join the American Legion,
Hermiston’s Post 37 pays new members’
first-year dues, $40.

or 541-720-1815.

Weston library friends
plan outdoor book sale
WESTON — The Friends of Weston
Library will be taking its annual used
book sale to the sidewalk this year.
The event is Saturday, Sept. 25, 9 a.m.
to 1 p.m. on the sidewalk in front of the
Weston Public Library, 108 E. Main St.
Books and other items are priced at $1
each.
To streamline the process, folks are
asked to bring small bills, as change is
more difficult to manage in the outdoor
setting. At 1 p.m., a bag sale will start with
all books fitting in a bag costing only $1.
FOWL board members are working
hard and planning carefully to bring the
most awesome book sale to the commu-
nity. Those who attend the book sale
are asked to observe current COVID-19
mandates.
