A surprise visit from Santa
added to the fun festivities and
Santa drew the luck winners for
door prizes, glass Christmas
tree ornaments, that were cus-
tom made, just for this event, by
Jayne Smoley of The Studios at
Jayne Smoley Design.
The prizes memorialized the
event with hand lettering by Pa-
tricia Ball. Santa also read a let-
ter from an anonymous donor
who matched all funds raised
during the evening.
Homemade cookies and
mulled wine were provided by
Walker and her friends, Sherill
Androsky and Mary Helen
Brennan.
“When I was approached
three years ago about helping
organize this Red Kettle pro-
gram, I asked the Salvation
Army to provide some assur-
ance that the money raised
here in the Florence/Mapleton
area would stay in our commu-
nity,” Spayd said. “They were
agreeable to this request and
we established an account that
is designated for Western Lane
County. The Salvation Army
determines where the need is in
our community and, working
with Pastor Dale Edwards from
Cross Road Assembly of God
Church, they identify those
who need assistance. The pro-
gram is primarily administered
through a voucher system.
“We formed a Service Ex-
tension Committee here in
Florence that monitors the dis-
tribution of funds in our com-
munity. We meet monthly and
receive a financial summary
report from Deby Leighton
with the Salvation Army out of
Klamath Falls,” Spayd said.
Enjoy great food and good times.

has given in the past and the en-
thusiasm with which they look
to the coming season,” Spayd
said.
After last year’s outstanding
efforts to raise money for the
Salvation Army, Spayd has so-
licited assistance from three
“lieutenants” to help sign up
bell ringers, collect funds and
deposit them in the bank. The
three lieutenants are Nancy
Walker, Sandy Kuhlman and
Linda Sharpe.
Spayd said without these co-
workers he would have to per-
form these duties every day
from Thanksgiving through
Christmas Eve with only Sun-
days off.
“These ladies will be a big
help in sharing the load and
allowing me to have some time
to enjoy the holiday season,” he
said.

More than 60 people came
out to the Florence Airport on
Saturday to support the Salva-
tion Army Red Kettle Kickoff
for the 2018 Holiday Season.
Overall campaign coordina-
tor, Sam Spayd, opened his han-
gar to the event and provided a
holiday venue to begin the “bell
ringing” season. The outside of
the hangar was decorated with
Christmas lights and the inte-
rior was filled with decorations
and a custom Christmas tree. A
plethora of holiday bears occu-
pied many of the chairs set up
for the event.
This year’s Kickoff Program
garnered $1,430 and signed up
bell ringers for 121 hours of col-
lections.
“These were fantastic figures
considering that it’s early in the
season, and it shows the won-
derful support our community
