They started off by playing Irri- gon at home last Thursday. Following that, the JV and C teams participated in a tournament in Arlington. Over the weekend, both the Varsity and JV teams traveled to John Day where they triumphed over Enter- prise and Grant Union. The Heppner Varsity team performed excep- tionally well, winning 3-0 against Enterprise with set scores of 25-14, 25-17, 25- 16, and defeating Grant Union 3-1 in hard-fought sets of 25-16, 20-25, 25- 23, and 25-23. This series of victories propelled Hep- pner back to the top of the league standings, sharing the lead with Stanfield, both holding a record of 5-1. Looking ahead, the Heppner Varsity will face league rival Weston-McE- wen at home this Thursday. This is a significant match- up, as Heppner previously defeated them earlier this season on their turf.

Another asset Senior Matters has organized is the scheduling of senior-specif- ic modules called YOLO (You Only Live Once) workshops. “Classes are held up to three times per week with the Chair Exer- cise classes being the most popular.

An- other popular class is the Aging Well class, which offers tips to manage the challenges of aging—Care- giver and Dementia-spe- cific classes round out the educational offerings. “With the cooler weath- er many seniors are at- tending our movie nights, complete with popcorn and treats. And twice a week we have a coffee and donut hour reserved for our population that share their wisdom to make our com- munities better,” remarks Deb Green.

Amanda Kendrick, Veterans Service Officer for Morrow Co, will be in attendance to answer questions of our local vets. More information will be provided about this offer- ing.
