Saturday, Sept. 20, eight Lyle mutts attended the first "Mutt Mosey" in The Dalles. On the other end of the leash were six women and three men who walked the two-mile course held near the Discovery Center. The proceeds will benefit the "Home at Last" Animal Friends of The Dalles. This group helps animals that need to be adopted and spayed or neutered. T-shirts were given the human participants.
Eileen Brashers and Mary Sorensen from Lyle were among the forty-two thousand that took part in the Susan G. Coleman "Race for the Cure" on Sunday, Sept. 14. This annual Portland event raises funds for Breast Cancer Research.
