Organic food delivery available
Is healthy nutrition important
for you? If so, would you like to
join a group of Vernonians who
are banding together to main-
tain the eight-year tradition of
Azure Standard organic deliv-
eries to our town?
A new delivery/drop-off site,
at the Vernonia Museum park-
ing lot on Bridge Street, is a lit-
tle farther than the previous
site, so it is necessary to have
enough people ordering to
guarantee the delivery (enough
money in orders).
Vernonia resident Carol
Sawyer, and the driver, are
aiming for a June 11th delivery,
if enough people are involved.
June 9th is the cutoff date for
ordering.If you are interested,
but unfamiliar with Azure Stan-
dard, you can go online to
check out the remarkable vari-
ety offered by the company at:
www.azurestandard. You can
also order a catalog and the bi-
monthly sales catalogs.
Regular stock includes or-
ganic meats, vegetables and
fruits from the Dufur area,
grains in bulk, oils, and some
canned and frozen specialties.
Additionally, they carry a com-
plete range of supplements,
toiletries, cleaning products,
farm and gardening supplies,
organic seeds, etc. There are
also selections for those with
lactose intolerance or allergies.
For more information, call
Carol Sawyer at 503-429-4748.

June 19 Blood Drive in St. Helens VCC plans full
night of events
During the summer, blood
donations typically drop off dra-
matically as donors go on va-
cation and schools close, but
the need for blood never takes
a holiday. The American Red
Cross urges people to donate
blood or platelets and save
lives this summer. Patients in
area hospitals served by the
Red Cross depend on commu-
nity blood donations.
Every day, the Red Cross
distributes blood to patients in
local hospitals. Regular blood
donations from people in our
communities are critical to their
ability to provide an ample sup-
ply of blood for those who de-
pend on its life-saving benefits.
Any healthy person age 18
(age 16 or 17 with signed
parental consent) or older and
weighing at least 110 pounds
