Club treasurer, reports,
“Due to the amazing turn
out and generosity of the
Heppner and surrounding
communities at our 2017
auction, the Booster Club
was able to provide funds
to literally every class, ath-
letic program and formally
organized extra-curricular
school program at the Hep-
pner Jr Sr High School.
We hope to continue that
four- year streak by having
another well attended and
supported event.”
