A special thanks goes to
Vernonia Pteschool who donat­
ed paper and use of their copy
machine to make flyers and
maps so that everyone could
be notified of the event.
Thank you also to everyone
who contributed food — the re­
sponse was heartwarming and
greatly appreciated! it made
gathering food in the cold rain
well worth it!!
Thanks also to Sentry, the
