6 A SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 2017 Giving from 1A There was also a table full of homemade baked goods that included cookies, cakes and loaves of bread. The winner of the raffle won a two night stay at the pictur- esque Heceta Head Bed and Breakfast Inn, just north of town. “I want to thank all of the people and businesses who donated items for the auction,” Marohl said. “We had some really great items for people to bid on and there was something for everyone. I also want to thank everyone who came to bid on items. Many of the bids were extremely generous with items selling for well over the valued price.” Shannon Graham, a teacher at Siuslaw Elementary School, has been a driving force in the effort for Malakai, and was extremely pleased at the results. “The Gifts of the Heart was a complete success. More than 500 people attended the auction and we raised a total of $30,8866! The Siuslaw Valley Firefighter Association donated $500 and brought a ladder truck,” Graham said. The donations went beyond items and food for people to buy. Graham listed Siuslaw Elementary Kindness Club members, who volunteered to sell Italian sodas and cremosas and raised more than $100, and Craig’s BBQ food truck, which served meals and donated half the profits to Malakai. Graham said, “Craig’s raised a total of $211 at the auction, but have decided to carry on the special for the entire week at their food truck (at Maple Street and Highway 101). And they will continue donating $5 for each cheeseburger basket they sell during the next week.” Dozens of volunteers assisted with the table set up and the pricing of donated items before the event, staffing the tables during the auction and assisting with the cleanup after the auc- tion was over. According to Graham, there were many hands involved and that made the afternoon easier for all involved. “On behalf of the auction steering committee, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to each and every person in our community who volunteered, donated and attended the auction,” Graham said. “What an incredible impact you have made on Malakai’s family, not only mon- etarily but also emotionally. People really gave from their heart from the start to the finish of this event. What a blessing it is to be a part of this communi- ty!” People dressed as Star Wars characters, including Storm Troopers, Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, attended the event.

Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Place salmon piece on center of each sheet. Brush 1/2 tablespoon oil over both sides of each salmon piece. Sprinkle each piece with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place about 3 lemon slices fl at or overlapping on each piece. 2. Bring up 2 sides of foil over salmon so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal. 3. Place packets on grill over medium-low heat.

Before closing the meet- ing, Mayor Joe Henry thanked City of Florence staff for the work done to develop the biennial budget.
