In addition, the 1957 Ad- dressograph Graphotype 6400, donated by a local family, has been repaired and can produce authentic reproduction dog tags. The local chapter of DAR has supported the muse- um since it was conceived. Earlier this year, members planted a garden on the museum grounds specifi- cally to attract pollinating in-sects.

Again, thank you to everyone involved into putting the packages together and have a great day.” All are welcome to attend the DAR meeting and learn more about the Oregon Coast Military Museum on Friday, Nov. 15.

Applications available for annual Giving Tree Area teenagers benefit each year from the Giving Tree, hosted for the sev- enth year by Twin Lakes Store. Teens from ages 12 to 18 are invited to fill out a wish list and submit back to Twin Lakes Store, where the community is encour- aged to use the wish list as a guide to shop for a teen. “Phase one is in effect now,” said Vicki Ambrosio, founder of the annual Teen Giving Tree. “We started fund raising Oct. 1. Now we need the teens to fill out the wish list and get them back so we can start shop- ping.” The rules have changed this year. Previously, the Giving Tree was limited to the Northern Lakes area of Florence. The event has been expanded with a new goal of purchasing gifts for 100 teens that live in the Siuslaw School District. A wish list/application is now available at Twin Lakes Store. Each is num- bered and used to track the gifts for anonymity purpos- es. Applications need to be returned to Twin Lakes be- fore Thanksgiving. Phase two — the shop- ping — begins the day after Thanksgiving. That is when the public is encouraged to come in and look over the wishes then choose one to purchase for. “The rules are easy,” said Ambrosio. “You do not need to fulfill the teen’s en- tire wish list, although we have had many community members do just that.” People are asked to sim- ply buy what they are able. “We keep track of the gifts and Twin Lakes shops to fill in the gaps,” Ambro- sio said. Stop by Twin Lakes Store, located on Highway 101 north of Florence, anytime to pick up an application/ wish list. Teens are encouraged to seriously consider their list of needs and wants, includ- ing any educational sup- plies. A new location for the distribution party will be at the Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue Main Station on Highway 101 at 23rd Street on Thursday, Dec. 19. The party starts at 6 p.m. sharp and lasts until 7:30 p.m. Rides are available upon requests. All gifts will be given di- rectly to teenagers. Abso- lutely no gifts will be given to adults on their behalf. Teens must be present to claim each of the gifts or notify Twin Lakes if unable to make it to the party. For more information, to help with fundraising or to inquire for a teen, call Twin Lakes Store at 541-997- 3021. And a special thank you to Jim Mitchell, MC extraordinare!
