Volunteers sought for the hoosegow: Jail and Bail January 29 to benefit March of Dimes Shelton's annual Jail & Bail fund raiser to benefit the March .f Dimes will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, ,January 29, at lhe Shelt,m Safeway store. The essence of the fun-filled event is the arresting and jailing of local community leaders who agree to spend an hour in a makeshift jail at the store raising funds. A March of Dimes spokesper- son says prisoners receive royal treatment: they get fashionable attire (jailbird stripes), wonderful refreshments (bread and water), ihn games (to see who can get the most pledges) and get a chance to visit with friends, co-workers and family while calling them to get bail pledges. After serving their time, the prisoners are sent away with a bagful of goodies and a great feel- ing knowing they helped to pro- vide funds that will be used in Mason County and throughout western Washington. DURING THE PAST four years, the event has raised some $50,000. The March of Dimes is looking for volunteers to help run the jail, arresting officers and a judge for the afternoon session. If you are interested in volunteering, call Julie Cole, community director for Mason County, at 1-800-231- 5245. The March of Dimes, which started in 1938, today is a strong volunteer-driven organization fac- ing the year 2000 with a commit- ment to a healthier start for every baby. The organization's mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects and infant mortality. It carries out its mission through programs of research, community services, education and advocacy. Depressed Ant)nymous plans an informational open house programs work so well," Ron Sauer, spokesperson tbr the group, explains. "The regular meeting will not be held that night. To protect our members' anonymity, no members will be in attendance." The group works hard to as- sure privacy, he adds, "because many people still feel that de- pression is a mental illness, which it is not. It is a part of ev- eryone's life regardless of who they are, and everyone suffers from it at one time or another, some more deeply than others. That is a bitter pill for people to accept but it is true." He notes that medicines only stabilize a person allowing him or her to work on the reasons for the depression. Without work on the underlying problems, the de- pression will come back. The Shelton Depressed Anon- ymous group will host an open house beginning at 7 p.m. Tues- day, January 26, at Mason Gen- eral ttospital for those interested in learning about the group's programs. Signs will be posted to direct people to the meeting room. "The purpose of the open house is to explain to those interested family members and friends why the Depressed Anonymous Dental care offered: "Depressed Anonymous has no magic pills or cures for de- pression," Sauer continues. "It uses a modified 12-step, self-help program in which participants learn, discuss and work on ways to heal from depression. It is the group working together that makes the healing from depres- sion possible." Also on the agenda at the open house will be a discussion about forming a daytime DA group and a group called Dep-Anon for family and friends of depressed people, Sauer says. Those with questions about the group or the Smile savers planning open housecancontactSauerat427.6847.

MGH offers breast cancer class to low-income women Mason General Hospital received word its grant to provide breast cancer screening and education programs for low-in- come women has been renewed. The grant from the Puget Sound Chapter of the Susan G. Komen Foundation covers one- on-one breast health information sessions throughout the coun- ty. The personal sessions are designed to encourage women to learn how to detect breast cancer in its early stage while it is still treatable, according to Graham Thomas, director of devel- opment at MGH.

The sessions will demonstrate proper techniques for breast self-examinations and cover the importance of monthly exams including what to look for and when to see a doctor, Thomas explains.

More information is available from Thomas at 427-3621, or from Belfair phones at 275-8614, Extension 3621.
