Five seniors were served at the first meal. The program has come a long way since then. Funding is still a problem, with com modities scarcer and state and federal funding cut, but everyone is determined that Heppner's program will survive.

Cast your absentee ballot and mark your calendars to join Chamber members for lunch at 11:30 a.m. at the Heppner Elks Club to hear keynote speaker Patt Schwab, a firm believer in tak ing humor seriously. Dr. Schwab has addressed Nordstrom, Hewlett-Packard, Weyerhauser, medical staffs, educators and governmental groups. Her topic will be “ When Hell Freezes Over - Ice Skate'' and will deal with the increasing change and adversi ty in our daily lives. She main tains that the truth is that we are not hurt so much by what happens to us, as by our re sponse; and we are in charge of that response. Dr. Schwab will show her audience, with humor, how to weather adver sity and emerge the better for it. There will be a $12 charge for Chamber members and a $15 charge for non-Chamber mem bers, which will cover lunch and part of the expense. No profit will be made by the Chamber. The membership felt this was an opportunity to hear a speaker we would otherwise not be able to afford. Please reserve your space by calling 676-5536. Note that Schwab will be covering a different topic at the Morrow County Grain Growers annual meeting the previous evening. Hope to see you at the Elks, Nov. 5, for an hour of laughter.

October 18 is the first legal date for studded tires in Oregon. Effective October 18, 1996 any NEW studded tires sold at Oregon Les Schwab Tire Centers will come equipped with new light weight studs.
