loving personality and it was
always a pleasure to have her

friends.

Dear Friends in Western Lane County,
We have a wonderful opportunity
this Christmas!
We are going to raise money for The
Salvation Army in Western Lane County. You will
see the Red Kettles at major grocery stores and
in Old Town Florence. You will hear the sounds of
ringing bells and wishes for a ‘Merry Christmas’
between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. 100%
of this effort will be volunteer. The Western Lane
Community Foundation will establish a new
Salvation Army Fund that will provide moneys
annually for services to our community once
we reach our minimum goal of $10,000. Will you
please help us?
We need your generous donations to “The
Salvation Army” to start this fund. Please put
“WLCF” in the lower memo line of your checks.
Together we can do this! May God bless you
AND may this be the BEST Christmas ever!
