A4 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2018 COMMUNITY Inland musicians will share the season in song Holiday concert set this weekend in Echo and in Connell, Washington By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR The annual holiday concert of the Inland Northwest Musi- cians features a variety of ensem- bles playing holiday music, includ- ing traditional and contemporary songs. “The Carols of Christmas” will be performed Saturday at Echo Community Center, 20 N. Bonanza., and Sunday at Connell High School, 1100 W. Clark Road, Connell, Washington. Both con- certs are free of charge, but dona- tions are accepted. A reception fol- lows each concert. Due to the popularity of the Echo concert and the limited num- ber of seats, those planning to attend are encouraged to reserve tickets by contacting 541-289- 4696 or inwm@machmedia.net. Salli Ketchersid, publicity coor- dinator, said those attending the Connell performance do not have CONTRIBUTED PHOTO The Inland Northwest Musicians will perform The Carols of Christmas,” its annual holiday concert Saturday in Echo and Sunday in Connell, Washington. to make a reservation. Under the direction of R. Lee Friese, the program includes pieces performed by the orchestra, the chorale and the combined orches- tra and chorale. Numbers by the orchestra include “A Canadian Brass Christ- mas,” a piece that includes “Ding Dong Merrily on High,” “I Saw Three Ships,” “The Huron Carol” and “Here We Come A-Wassail- ing.” It’s arranged by Luther Hen- derson and adapted for orchestral performances by Calvin Custer. Giving trees sprout holiday cheer way store. Jessica Jacobson, Sun Ter- race community relations director, said they’ve been spearheading the effort for about five years. She said it’s a way people can give back to the community “It’s always nice to bring joy to their Christmas as well,” Jacobson said. “Some of the residents here don’t have family that live near.” Jacobson said it could be some- thing as simple as popcorn or choco- late. Some residents, she said, would like new scarves, shirts or hats. In addi- tion, some of the Sun Terrace residents have pets and have asked for a sweater for their dog. In its third year, an effort to pro- vide for area animals was spearheaded by Pendleton Animal Welfare Shelter. The tree at D&B Supply in Pendleton even includes tags with photos of cur- rent cats and dogs at PAWS, said Sara Hebard-Hinkle, a stove department sales associate. A former PAWS board member, she is thrilled about the effort to help provide for animals. Everything from pet food and dog beds to leashes and blankets are needed. In addition, Hebard-Hinkle encourages people to consider volunteering their time. “The giving trees all have the same goal,” Markle said. “We want to make their Christmas better.” By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR Area children, senior citizens and even animals will benefit from the gen- erosity of people in the community. A number of giving trees are sprout- ing up at locations throughout Uma- tilla and Morrow counties. While out Christmas shopping, people are encouraged to consider the opportu- nity to help brighten the holiday season for those who might be less fortunate. A number of businesses and organiza- tions have set up trees and people can stop by and choose tags and shop for requested items. The Salvation Army Pendleton Corps sets up several Angel Trees — including one at Shari’s Cafe & Pies in Hermiston — in order to receive gifts for needy children ages 0-14 through- out the Hermiston and Pendleton areas. Helen Markle, a volunteer with the organization, said while The Salvation Army provides help to people in need throughout the year, they boost their efforts around Christmas. “This is the season of giving,” she said. “We want to be sure each child has at least something under the tree.” Residents of Sun Terrace, an adult assisted living facility in Hermiston, will receive gifts through a Senior Giving Tree at the Hermiston Safe- Area giving trees People can enjoy beauti- ful and creative artwork and purchase unique gifts during the annual Christmas Art Show & Sale.
