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.

Angie Kile of Hermiston, who provided musical entertainment

ton, Rusty Roe, Bill Myers
and Bob Emert. Several of
the members play with the
old-time fi ddlers, Stolz said.
Also, Leanne McMasters
accompanies on keyboards.
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.”

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. For
