To this end, Gayle Waiss, executive director of the Western Lane Community Foundation, explained how a dedicated charitable fund can be set up to serve as a resource of The Salvation Army within the local area. Tax deductible donations can be received and 100 per- cent of the distributions made locally in accordance with the wide range of services The Salvation Army provides to adults, families and children and for emergency disaster services. Sam Spayd of Florence made the first donation toward the establishment of this WLCF/Salvation Army Fund by making a $1,000 gift. A total of $10,000 is needed to establish the fund so that it can begin distributing money for local services. The WLCF Board will con- sider a proposal to create an agency fund to receive contri- butions in the near future.

KCST gives free pumpkins to youth tomorrow A Fundraiser for the “Boys & Girls Clubs” at the Administration Office/Teen Center at 1501 Airport Road Coast Radio KCST FM 106.9 continues its anniversary tradition of giving away free pumpkins to area youths tomorrow, Oct. 22, starting at 3 p.m. with the Original Great Pumpkin Giveaway. The Great Pumpkin Give- away will be in the parking lot of The Saw Shop on Sixth Street, off Highway 101. More than 3,000 pounds of pumpkins will be given away at 4 p.m. to youth under 17 on a first-come, first-served basis. The pumpkins go fast, so parents and guardians are asked to arrive early. Award-winning chainsaw sculptor Ryan Anderson will use traditional carving tools as he sculpts a pair of giant pump- kins. One of the two carved pumpkins will be given away WEDNESDAY THURSDAY to a lucky entrant between 3 and 5 p.m. The other will go on display at Florence True Value. Since 2009, the pumpkins have been distributed from the parking lot of The Saw Shop and Old School Furniture. “We look forward to it all year long,” said True Value spokesperson Angela Hufford. “Really! The looks on the kids’ faces when they get their own pumpkin can be exciting.” Hufford, along with her hus- band Mark and her brother Mitchell Lemhouse, has also created some new games this year that will be available to play while kids bide their time for the “big moment.” The hot dogs, served up by the Florence-Siuslaw Lions Club, begin at 3 p.m., as will the games and free treat bags filled with candy provided by Mo’s and Grocery Outlet. Local volunteer firefighters distribute the pumpkins right at 4 p.m. — a task they also look forward to. “Most of the pumpkins are distributed in the first 15 min- utes,” said Hufford. KCST general manager Jon Thompson says the event is truly one of community. “We couldn’t do it without the Lemhouse family at True Value. The firefighters and the Lions help out, and we also have two dozen local sponsors who get in on the fun,” he said. Coast Radio News Director Bob Sneddon will be broad- casting live before, during and after the event from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY OCTOBER 21 OCTOBER 22 OCTOBER 23 OCTOBER 24 OCTOBER 25 OCTOBER 26 OCTOBER 27 Partly Sunny Partly Sunny Sunny, with Patchy Clouds Cloudy Clouds and Sun Afternoon Showers Cloudy, Chance of Rain 62°F 52°F 61°F 47°F 63°F 47°F 62°F 54°F 64°F 54°F 61°F 51°F 60°F 48°F 12 Games for $35 Thursday, October 22 nd Snacks & Water Available Payou t: 6:00 pm ~ Early Bird Games 6:30 pm ~ BINGO: Regular Games with “Special Games” to follow CASH or PRIZ ES!
