Being a Godly father and husband in the ‘90’s is no easy task. It requires a clear plan and a humble heart. In reality many wives and children wait with anticipation for tender compassionate men to step forward as shepherd of their families. In order for that to hap pen, fathers obviously need God’s grace, but they also need solid, practical training. “ Dad, the Family Shepherd” conference, will be held Friday, April 23 from 7-9:30 p.m. and Saturday, April 24 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Christian Life Center in Heppner. The conference reaches families by equipping men to be the family shepherd God intends for them to be. “ You’ll leave this conference brimming with con cepts, biblical principles and helpful tips for family shepherd. Enough to get you going with confidence,” said pastor Tim VanCleave. “ So regardless of your situation, whether you’re single, newly married, a father of four, or a grandparent, this eight hour conference will impact you and your family for generations to come,” he said. The cost is $28 for pre registration or $33 at the door. Everyone will receive a con ference manual and a “ Quiet Time” book to help develop a personal relationship with God. Those attending should bring a sack lunch Saturday. There will be a project to complete during the lunch break on Saturday. For more information or to pre- register call 676-5581. Pre registration is due by Friday, April 9, with a $5 deposit fee.

The contest was open to all schools in the Northwest. INC P O Bo« 367 As you read this, it is hoped that many of you will be enjoy ing the fragrance of a dozen red roses, a result of the wonderful com m unity support o f the Chamber’s annual “ Everything's Coming Up Roses” project. This project enables chamber to keep from raising dues and to continue to implement our goals and plan of work. Other chamber projects in the very near future include a visit by the Rose City Oregon 500 motor cycle club on May 8. Heppner has been designated a check point. The check point, located on Main Street, will give the motorcyclers an opportunity to stretch their legs on Main Street. There will be approximately 1000. Chamber members will be on hand to welcome them and organizations are welcome to have food booths such as fruit or cookies. We hope many of the visitors will take time for lunch while here. If an organization wishes to serve lunch for some let me know immediately so the information can be included in the Oregon 500 brochure. More in next week’s Gazette. I will be attending a Cycle Oregon VI meeting in The Dalles along with the lone entourage next Tuesday, where we will be getting all the data on meals. Heppner will be doing a box lunch this year and we are look ing at ways to cut down on local manpower so that we can offer our services to lone, as they did , for us three years ago. Businesses are encouraged to get in the spirit of welcoming visitors by having welcome signs in their windows and possibly decorating for a few months in- the spirit of the Oregon Trail. If employees wish to follow the theme and catch the pioneer spirit, there will be a workshop offered through the extension ser vice on how to create authentic pioneer costumes. What a great opportunity to showcase our town when our Oregon Trail and Cy cle VI visitors come, as well as during fair and rodeo week. We need to remember to take time to play along with our work. Next week at chamber Rene Crompton, forest service, will be doing a program on Eco-Systems.
