Holly Rebekah Lodge raffle winners announced (L-R): Marlene Gray, Nina Harshman and Virginia Peck. (L-R): Marlene Gray, Steve Lankford and Virginia Peck. The members of Holly Rebekah Lodge. Lexington, spent the months of November, December and January selling raffle tickets to raise money to help the family of Emma Clemens with medical expenses. Emma, the daughter of Jim and Susan Clemens of Hermiston, and granddaughter of Mike and Marlene Gray of lone and Mr. and Mrs. Terry Cove of Hermiston, has been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. As a community service project, the lodge members donated kitchen and bathroom items for two baskets. The winners’ names were drawn at the Heppner Chamber of Commerce Town and Country Banquet in January. The winner of the kitchen basket was Steve Lankford, and Nina Harshman won the bathroom basket. The family has just been told that Emma would benefit from an inhaler and the cost of that is $1,600 per month. Over $4000 was raised and an account is still open at the Bank of Eastern Oregon for anyone that still wishes to make a donation.
