Six ladies had worked for four days on some beautiful bouquets that were then delivered on Valentine’s Day by vol- unteers, even as snow fell and wind blew part of the day. How delightful to see the looks of surprise. Good news for pinoch- le players looking for some ac- tion: Some players plan to meet on second and fourth Thursdays at 1 p.m. in the sitting room of St. Patrick Senior Center, and they will welcome others. “The more the merrier,” says one enthusiast. Big stakes equal bragging rights. Re- minders, Players: bring your own drinks, any treats you might want, and (for now) masks. Mark your calendars for Febru- ary 24. And everyone looking for a little more exercise is welcome at the Ione church on Mondays at 11 a.m. Great opportunity to burn a few calories, shape up one’s shape a tad, and enjoy some camaraderie. Today’s an import- ant one for Ione: This af- ternoon, the high school boys’ basketball team is in a district playoff game, on their home court because they have won all of their games this season.

Holly Rebekah Lodge to host craft sale Hopeful Saints plans pancake supper, Ash Wednesday events This year, Lent begins on Wednesday, March 2 . For the first time in two years, Hopeful Saints Min- istry will be offering the community two opportu- nities to observe the be- ginning of this penitential season. The first of those actually takes place the day before Lent begins: on what is known as Shrove Tuesday, March 1, when the community is invited to feast on all-you-can- eat pancakes, ham, and more from 5 pm to 7 pm at the Episcopal-Lutheran building on the corner of Church and Gale in Hep- pner. Proceeds from this event support the church's Mission and Outreach fund for local needs, as it has for many decades before the pandemic interruption. The next day, on Ash Wednesday, Ashes-to-Go will once again be offered upon request to anyone for whom that tradition is meaningful. Look for the sign on Main Street be- tween 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. A communion service with imposition of ash- es will also be held at the church at 6 p.m. that eve- ning. More information about these and other church activities is avail- able by calling the church office at 541-676-9970. ALL NEWS AND ADVERTISEMENT DEADLINE: MONDAYS AT 5:00 P.M.
