I ’ ve
had
an
e x tra
w eek to
th in k
a b o u t
what to
w r ite
a b o u t,
so, once again: The center has
asked me to let the public know
that we have NO facilities to
wash, dry, iron, mend or dry
clean clothing, bedding, drapes
or rugs. When we receive such
things that are no longer want
ed by you because they are
dirty, all we can do is pay the
garbage bill, because we can’t,
in good conscience, send it on
to Goodwill, St. Vincent DePaul
or ARC.
Now, back to the business of
cutting the grass and planting
flowers between rain squalls.
The
Tuesday/Thursday
group held an appreciation
lunch honoring Cook Carol
Davis and Pastry Queen Rosie
McCoy.
The Spelling Bee netted,
First - Carol Sawyer, Second -
Tobie Finzel and Third - George
Gans.
Vernonia Cares is looking for
a new computer-smart office
worker. They can still use vol
unteers on Tuesdays and
Thursdays.
The election is over. Happy?
yes - no.
If you missed the City Coun
cil meeting on May 20, you
missed a first time happening
for Vernonia. We now have a
Lady Mayor, Cindy Ball.
It must be Spring. Why?
Well, because we women are
stirring things around again, or
still, or yet, whichever you think
is correct. In the Thrift area,
more clothes racks, also, I’m
giving the craft area a face lift.
Have patience, please.
June Calendar:
Center business meeting the
14th at 1:00 p.m.
Father’s Day Lunch and pro
gram, Noon on the 12th. Come
in and sign up. Join in the fun.
Five Area Luncheon on the
24th in St. Helens at noon.
Sort of a quiet lunch month,
but July is coming.
July 3, we celebrate with
door prizes and ? On July 4, we
will be closed until 5:00 p.m.,
when we’ll open for viewing of
auction items. The auction
starts at 7:00 p.m. Remember,
there will be a “Kids Only” auc
tion included, with kids from 5
to 14 as the bidders and buy
ers.
This auction is fun and inter
esting. No furniture, bikes,
beds, chairs, radios, TVs and
such. You may not know you
need something until you see it.
Collectibles, antiques, dishes,
kids’ books from the 30s Come,
bring the kids, join the fun. After
the auction, go across the
street for the fireworks.
Then, on July 8, we will start
our “Christmas in July and Hal
loween, Too,” sale through July
13. Lots of goodies, clothes,
decorations, gift ideas, party
costumes, you’ll never know
w hat’s in store unless you
come in.
Signing off with a big Thank
You to all who have brought in
good, clean, sellable items, and
those who have remembered
we still take newspapers for
cancer research; also to our
fou r angels with hammers,
saws, nails, brooms and mus
cle power.
Love you...

Brewer’s note
50th anniversary
Davis, McCoy honored for service with celebration
Carol Davis and Rosie
McCoy were honored by PEO
for their outstanding efforts in
continuing to make a noon
meal available Tuesdays and
Thursdays at the Vernonia
S enior Center. Because of
funding shortages the Colum
bia County Council of Seniors
now provides meals only three
days a week.
Davis has not only solicited
funds for the “Tuesday-Thurs
day Club,” she also prepares
the meals. McCoy has stepped
in to make each meal memo
rable with specially baked
desserts.
Funds and supplies are still
needed to continue the meals,
and help with meal preparation
would be appreciated. Dona
tions to the local program
should be made out to Tues
day-Thursday Club, not to the
Vernonia Senior Center.
James and Billie Brewer, for
mer long-time residents of Ver
nonia, now of Grand Ronde,
celebrated their 50th wedding
anniversary May 18 at a recep
tion hosted by their children
and their families.
James Brewer and Billie Tut
tle were married May 17, 1952,
in Aberdeen, Washington. He is
a retired logger and she is a
homemaker.
Their family includes Belinda
and Paul Schick, Sharon and
Dale Free, Brenda and Rory
Hayden, Debbie and Larry
Clark, Laura and Michael
Beals, 10 grandchildren, and
three great-grandchildren.
