Valentines for veterans: A gift of love, then and now STAFF REPORT chroniclenews@countrymedia.net
Veterans throughout Columbia County will be receiving a special gift this coming Valentine’s Day. The gifts of love were all constructed by the hands of volunteers during the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service project on Jan. 20. Dozens of volunteers met at the Scappoose Senior Center to create over 300 valentines, which will be distributed to local veterans during the Columbia County Retired Senior & Volunteer Program’s (RSVP) 6th Annual Valentines for Vets project. During the first two weeks of February, volunteers will distribute the hand-made valentines to as many veterans as possible in Columbia County. The volunteers said they created each valentine to show appreciation and respect to veterans for serving the country. Organizers give special thanks to Miss B’s (Carrie Bodenhamer) 4/5 split class at Olympic Elementary in Longview, WA for making an additional 80 valentines to be distributed to the veterans. “All the valentines are sure to bring smiles,” according to a release from RSVP. If you know of a group where veterans gather that RSVP could deliver valentines to, or know of a veteran that would appreciate a card, please contact Columbia County RSVP. Columbia County RSVP is located at 270 Columbia Blvd. in St. Helens. The office is open from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Call 503397-5655, or see RSVP’s Facebook page at www. facebook.com/columbiacountyrsvp Columbia County Retired Senior & Volunteer Program serves a dual purpose of engaging persons 55 and older in volunteer service to meet critical community needs, and in providing a high quality experience that will enrich the lives of volunteers. Columbia County RSVP promotes the engagement of older persons as community resources in planning for community improvement and in delivery of volunteer services.
