Lois Dechand and family would like to thank everyone for making Harry's 80th birthday party last Saturday such a nice event! Many family members and friends gathered at the Hood River Alliance Church to celebrate Harry's special day. It was a great chance to visit, share old stories and enjoy a wonderful meal. Lois is also very appreciative of the moral support she's received from community members. We wish you the best, Lois!

Please note a slight deviation in schedule for Bingo this month. It will be held Friday, Sept. 28, rather than Oct. 5, at 7 p.m. at the Glenwood Grange.

The 10th annual Fun Prize Ride that was scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 30, has been cancelled this year. The woods have been closed due to extreme fire danger -- so the ride was cancelled. Plans are to schedule the next ride for the last Sunday in September, 2013.

The Glenwood School has organized its annual Red Cross blood drive for Thursday, Oct. 4, in the multi-purpose room.

Please remember to take your photo identification; and to drink a lot of water that day and the day before. Homemade soup, cookies and coffee will be available after you donate blood!
