A very special thanks to EVERYONE who came out to the Mark Prairie schoolhouse and donated coats today for distribution to fire victims from the local Oregon fires. We received 2 trunks full…..thank you, thank you! We are hoping to help a lot of people this winter. We collected so many beautiful coats for men, women and children! So happy this was a success – and it was because of all of you!

The WORK DAY was also a success!  Inside the schoolhouse there was a layer of ash which was scrubbed down and sanitized with Clorox bleach spray. Outside volunteers worked to spray blackberry vines, pick up branches from the storm and mow! When we left, the schoolhouse was so clean inside and out we found it disappointing we couldn’t have a big celebration! Next Spring – we are hoping!
