HHS seniors plan activities Urges voter turnout News _______ The St. Patrick’s Day Auction will be held this year on Sunday, March 15, at 1 p.m. in Heppner. Money raised at the auction helps support the St. Pat’s celebration, paying overhead costs, such as advertising, decoration and promotion as well as entertainment and civic improvements, said Delanne Ferguson of the St. Patrick's Committee • The auction Committee also makes contributions to the South Morrow County Scholarship Fund and to another local project each year. In 1997 a donation was made to People for the Pool. This year some changes to the auction will make it more enjoyable for attendees, said Ferguson. The auction itself will continue to feature new and antique items of distinct value. Smaller and used items will be sold in a "Country Store", where bargain hunters should find good deals, she said. There will also be a "silent auction" for certain items. Separate tickets will also be sold for a fourth event, a drawing on select items. "The variety of events should make the auction more interesting and shorten the actual "live auction" time such that participants don't have to spend quite so many hours in attendance to see the full selection of items available," added Ferguson. "Private citizens, as well as merchants, are asked to think of items they could donate to the auction," she said. "Our various communities support each other in many ways, ‘bringing tourists to the area for festivals and events, and we all enjoy these events ourselves as well." Donors may call one of the following numbers to make arrangements for item pickup: Dan or Doris Brosnan, 676- 5886; John Murray, 676-9631, or Steve Rhea, 676-9922. Anyone who would like to drop off a donation may leave it at the "Twice Upon A Time" Bookstore in Heppner, or at Kuhn & Spicer law officer in Hermiston. The St. Patrick's full commit tee will meet Tuesday, Feb. 3 at 5 p.m. at Kate’s Pizza. Scratch Pads 500 lb .
