events, as well, and people can visit www.relayforlife.org/hermistonor to

Got an hour?

He lives alone and can no
longer prepare his meals.
He could use someone to
deliver a warm meal.
You could be that
someone.
It only takes an hour to
give back to seniors.
THANK YOU

Annual Butte Challenge 5 & 10k Walk & Run. Each of you had a part in the success of this event.

IT’S NOT LIKE HIM.
