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.
