GIVING LIFE TO POETRY
about gardening, which is a
great way to get kids outside
learning about plants, food,
composting, bugs, soil, math,
writing, stress relief and more.
Gardening gives kids an
opportunity to become more
intimate with their food and
how it is grown so they can
continue to be good shepards
of the land.
Real Food Co-op is at
1379 B Rhododendron Drive;
Homegrown Pub is at 294
Laurel St.
For information or other
donations, call Jen at the Co-
op at 541-997-3396 or Jody

Harriet Smith displays her flapper roots during a Rotary
“fashion show” in preparation for this year’s auction.
Flapper costumes are in.
In an effort to help its mem-
bers appear in appropriate
attire, the club recently staged a
WEDNESDAY THUIRSDAY
fashion show where a group of
“professional” models por-
trayed the possibilities to be
considered.
Lis Farm and Guy Veach
might well have been on their
way to the local speakeasy to
sip some champagne and dis-
cuss a woman’s right to vote or
some other challenging politi-
cal topic of the day.
After dipping in some bath-
tub gin, Crystal Farnsworth
and Bobby Jensen had a night
planned at the local speakeasy.
They might make some plans
that involve breaking the bank
— breaking the bank for the
kids of Florence, that is.
Every penny raised at the
Rotary Auction goes toward
scholarships for local high
school, college students and
other community projects.
And she may be Florence’s
oldest flapper, but her glamour
had not faded for Harriet
Smith, who is proud to be a
modern 1920s woman.
In all her glory, Smith repre-
sents that young lady who con-
tinued to hike up her skirt, stay
out late and go with what was
in. Times were, and still are,
changing, and thus the flapper
age comes to Florence.
The March 14 auction
begins at 5 p.m.
Tickets are available for $60.
For information, call 541-
902-9807.
