Bingo fundralse:l" he s provide gifts for children
at a wonderful feeling it is
give, to help people and put
smile on their face. Lake
Cushman Community Con-
nections experienced just that
when they adopted two fami-
lies for Christmas. Members
of the group provided gifts for
the children and extra food to
supplement the holiday meals
purchased with group funds.
One of the ways the group
is able to do things like this is
to have two bingo games each
year. The next one is coming
up on Feb. 22 at the Fire Dis-
trict 18 hall, 240 N. Standstill
Drive. Ten dollars for 10 games and
the prizes will be cash. Conversation
heart markers and popcorn will be
provided. This time baked goods will
be available for purchase. Doors open
at 6:30 p.m. Call 877-5862 for more
information.

like to practice? How fun
would it be to write about
highlights of your life or to
preserve family history? Do
you write poems or stories?
A group of friendly, support-
ive folks gather in the meet-
ing room at the Hoodsport
Library from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
on the third Wednesday of
each month. The founders
of the group, Hal Burton, a
published author, and Karen
Bowen with her years of
writing experience welcome people of
any age and writing ability. For more
information, call Hal at 877-0613 or
Karen 877-9867.
Olympic National Forest's Big
Creek Campground and adjacent trails
will close in early February for about
nine months. This closure is necessary
to ensure public safety while timber
harvest operations and campground
upgrades are underway.
Hood Canal District Ranger Dean
Yoshina said "this closure creates
a temporary inconvenience but the
public can look forward to many new
campground amenities, including new
tent camping area, new group camp-
ing sites with picnic shelters and fire
rings, additional RV sites, a host site,
new toilets, new picnic tables, new
kiosks, a new acccessible trail, addi-
tional parking and a water distribu-
tion system."

National Forest go to fs.usda.gov/
olympic or call the Hood Canal Ranger
District at 765-2200.
