Heppner UMC mission work aids Kenyan hospital Pictured are Carley Drake, winner of the quilt, Cara Osmin who donated the quilt and the Rev. Jim Monroe, pastor of the Heppner United Methodist Church. This past month, the Heppner United Methodist Church donated a total of $4,000 to the Maua (Maa- OO-ah) Methodist Hospital in Maua, Kenya. A check was presented to Louise Kinzel on June 2, this sum- mer’s team leader, from Hermiston United Method- ist Church. Besides the funds, many other articles were sent, including receiving blankets, other newborn baby needs and school sup- plies. To help raise funds, a quilt, donated by Cara Osmin, has been used to help raise the funds. It was won on Sunday by Carley Drake, a member of the church. The $4,000 that was sent to the hospital will be used to build a house for a family vetted and chosen by the Maua Methodist Hospi- tal. Two rooms, two doors (for post-circumcised boys - 14 years old) on one side and young boys and women on the other. It is also for a family of orphaned children from one to eight years old, and a guardian or guardian couple that has lost their middle-aged children to AIDS, malaria, accidents, or a variety of other causes. The money United Methodist sends covers the cost of the house, which has no running water or elec- tricity, is about 12’x24’ and is considered a good home by rural Kenyan standards. The funds also cover food support if needed, nation- al health care insurance, which is a life saver in Ken- ya and school costs through secondary education. The house is titled in the name of one of the children, and the elder guardians agree to care for the kids through secondary school and the children agree to care for the guardians until they die. Engagements Lemonade available in Lexington July 4 Collins/Beairsto to wed Lexington resident, Callahan Baker, is busy preparing for her fourth annual lemonade stand on July 4. Callahan first set up her stand on the morning of the fourth of July in 2016, with hopes of serving a few local friends and family and those traveling to the festiv- ities in Ione. That year, she also had a goal of earning enough to donate some of her earnings to a cause she cared about, animals. She was able to donate $30 of her hard-earned dollars to the Temple Veterinary Clinic, in Lexington. The following year, Callahan decided she would donate a portion of her funds to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oregon, be- cause she wanted to do something to make a differ- ence for sick kids. She was able to send $50. Last year, in 2018, Callahan and her brother Duke expanded their menu, adding cookies and iced coffee. Apparently, word was getting out and many of their customers said they really loved that the kids had a cause in mind and were donating some of their hard-earned money. They were surprised, as well as were their parents Matt and Julie, at how well the kids’ stand did. Both Callahan and Duke kept $20 of their profit, to spend on whatever they chose. Together, the family decided that the rest of their earnings would go to a “do-good” stash that the kids could use to do good deeds in their community throughout the year. Callahan and Duke re- ally enjoyed their first good deed, which was most- ly just for fun, as they’d heard about how to “pay it forward.” The two paid for $10 worth of drinks at Breaking Grounds Coffee Shop for the next “kids only” customers. The biggest act they did was each choose a tag off of the local Christmas giving tree located at Les Schwab Tire Center, in Heppner. Callahan and Duke each had a lot of fun shopping for and choosing items to match the requests of the tag for the child they chose. “I like to do it because it’s a good deed and it’s fun. It makes me feel good.” said Callahan. Anyone who would like to stop by and visit Callahan’s lemonade stand this year can find it on July 4, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., on the corner of Main Street and F Street in Lexington.
