HI 1 - - i n i, i m n m ini u under 12 jj 3 The Retired Senior Volunteer Program of Umatilla and Morrow Counties is sponsoring a Memory Book to Include short stories of incidents taken from the lives of senior citizens. We are Inviting anyone who has an interesting story to tell to let us print it in our book. We know that many stories of the early days in Morrow County wiU be forgotten with the death of the participants so we are making an effort to collect some of these for future generations. A prize is being offered for the story with the most interesting content. Grammar or spelling will not be judged. This booklet will be sold as a fund-raising project for the Retired Senior Volunteer Program. We are not looking for a historical account of a family rather we would like to find stories of memorable experiences such as you would tell your grandchildren. If you would rather not write it out yourself, call your Neighborhood Center and leave your Garden Club and the Audubon Society.
