Thank You Vernonia!!!

Thanks to the many volunteers who helped us during the
flood. To everyone who helped with sandbagging, pumping,
moving products before and after the flood. To those who
helped Friday cleaning & sanitizing, Saturday & Sunday
putting us back together and restocking products. It’s
impossible to name all off you, but we’ll always remember
the many faces.
Because off people like you, we were able to be back in
business the next day. Without your help, we could not
have done it!!
We, like many of you, had no insurance; that is a big blow
to many of us in this community. But through all off this, we
saw something in our community that we have never
before seen on such a large scale — volunteers helping
the less fortunate, people coming in the store hugging
each other, some with tears off sorrow, some with happi
ness that they were okay. We cannot express how glad we
are to be part of this great town!!
Again, our heartfelt thanks to everyone. The cleanup is not
over, but with this community’s fortitude, we’ll all bounce
back.
OUR COM M UNITY IS THE GREA TEST!!!
