COMMUNITY A4 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 2020 Valentine’s dance will share the love with veterans By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR An evening of dancing, socializing and honoring area veterans and Gold Star recipients is being organized by the auxiliaries of both the Hermiston VFW and Ameri- can Legion. Hearts for Veterans is Saturday, Feb. 15 from 6-9 p.m. at the VFW Hall, 45 W. Cherry Ave., Herm- iston. The evening includes music by Wires & Wood. The local veteran-led group plays country, bluegrass and gospel music, said Cathy Stolz, vice president of the American Legion Auxiliary. Thanks to the generous support from the community during recent events hosted by the groups, admission is free for all veterans and Gold Star recipients. The fee for others is $9 per person. “We want to honor our veterans,” Stolz said. “We have nothing but respect for our veterans and this is a small way to thank them for their service.” The evening begins with fun games — think Monty Hall and “Let’s Make A Deal” — and prize give- aways. Donations of gift items and prizes from indi- viduals and businesses are being sought, Stolz said. Non-alcoholic bever- ages will be available. Also, the women of the auxiliary will serve up some delecta- ble desserts — including a chocolate fountain — and hearty appetizers. “We’re going to have hero sandwiches because every veteran is our hero,” Stolz said. A special dance fl oor will be laid in place to encourage people to kick up their heels.

While Wires & Wood takes an intermission, Angie Kile will continue to offer entertainment. The Herm- iston woman was a big hit during the November USO Night event held at the Union Club. “She had everyone in the palm of her hand the whole night. She just belts out the songs,” Stolz said. “Even if you don’t dance, you will be entertained by her. She hits all the notes.” For more information, search Facebook for Ameri- can Legion Post 37 or VFW Desert Post 4750.

Dana Williams of Oper- ation Christmas Child recently expressed appre- ciation to Hermiston-area residents for sharing the true meaning of Christmas with children in need this past holiday season. Because of the gener- osity of donors in Hermis- ton and across the United States, the Samaritan’s Purse project collected more than 8.9 million shoe- box gifts in 2019. Com- bined with those collected from partnering coun- tries, the ministry sent 10,569,405 shoebox gifts to children worldwide. The Operation Christ- mas Child shoeboxes were packed with toys, school supplies and hygiene items for children in need. Each gift provided a tangible expression of God’s love, Williams said, and it is often the fi rst gift the chil- dren have ever received. “These simple gifts, packed with love, send a message to children world- wide that they are loved and not forgotten,” Wil- liams said. The project has collected and delivered more than 178 million gift-fi lled shoe- boxes to children in more than 160 countries and ter- ritories since 1993. While drop-off locations in the Hermiston area are closed until Nov. 16-23, 2020, there are year-round vol- unteer opportunities.
