There is a true hero in our midst. Jim Dean rescued a woman out of a burning vehicle last week near Stevenson, and risked burns to his arm and hands. We wish Jim a full recovery and applaud him for being such a Good Samaritan!
With the arrival of the Klickitat County Fair this week, we are reminded that donations are being sought for the community support fund for our Glenwood 4-Hers. Harry Miller and Roxie Clemmer have been contacting businesses and individuals to get pledges to help our local youth. Escalating feed prices have resulted in record costs to fatten this year's 4-H livestock projects. Without community support, the youngsters may actually sell their lambs, hogs and steers at The Klickitat 4-H Market Sale for less than their costs to raise and fatten the animals. Most of our 4-Hers count on money from their livestock projects to help fund their college educations. So, please dig into your pockets for this very worthwhile cause, and help support our local youngsters. If you would like to donate to the fund and have not been contacted, please call Harry at 364-3427 or Roxie at 364-3539.
Darrel Spies is inviting community members to a barbecue at his home on Monday, Sept. 1, from 1 to 4 p.m. The special event is planned to give everyone an opportunity to meet Darren's fiancee, Devin Roberts. Darren and Devin will be married on the beach in San Diego, Calif., the following weekend. Best wishes Darren and Devin!
Groups from seven churches participated in the Columbia River Bible Camp at Camp Morrow near Wamic, Ore., during the annual event from August third through tenth. Among the groups were 14 youth and six adults from Glenwood. The campers participated in many activities including archery, hiking, horseback riding, swimming, canoeing, paddle boating, power-boat tubing, water slides, field games and chapel time. The camp is located on the beach front of a creek-fed lake that offers nearly endless opportunities for fun. Sounds like a great activity to put on your 2009 calendar! For several years now, Glenwood community members have volunteered to staff "A day out with Thomas" at the Mt. Hood Railroad in Hood River. Money generated from that annual fund raiser has helped provide scholarships to enable local young people to attend Columbia River Bible Camp. Thank you to everyone who helped make an opportunity for youngsters to enjoy Camp Morrow!
