ten friends are ready to find
their forever homes. They

them. These loving older kit-
tens are looking for special
families that will share love,

need and deserve. Amber or
one of her friends will bring
purrrrfect enjoyment and
companionship to the right
home. For information on
Amber and her other indoor-

These beautiful white Ger-
man shepherds are mother
and son. Shasta is eight
years old and stays young
and fit by playing with her
four year-old son Bliz. They
are obviously bonded and we
would love it if they could go
to the same home. This home
would indeed be a special
one, large enough for the two
of them to run and play and
they will give twice the love
in return. If you would like
to meet these magnificent
dogs please contact us at 432-

home from that meeting she was
very excited. As has been reported
in the column before, Turning
Pointe needs all the financial help
it can get as the state support has
been cut drastically. I know the

The last lecture of the year for
Inquiring Minds will be at 2 p.m.
on Sunday at the community
hall. The guest speaker will be
Joan Hockaday. She is the author
of"Greenscapes: Olmsted's Pacific
Northwest," published by Wash-
ington State University Press
in 2009. Hockaday has explored
and written on landscape history
elsewhere on the West Coast with
her first book "The Gardens of
San Francisco," an exploration
of the natural history, including
histories of its parks and gardens
of San Francisco. She has given
numerous lectures on topics re-
lated to her books at the Museum
of Arts and Culture in Spokane,
the Seattle Public Library and
the Rainier Club. Now she will be
speaking here on the island at the
community hall.
Mary Nichols and Barbara
LaJune are heading up our an-
nual Harstine Island Garage
Sale on Saturday, March 31. The
event will be held at the com-
munity hall. If you want a table
give Mary or Barbara a call to see
if there are still openings. Judy
and I have attended in the past
and this year we will have a table
of our own. It gives islanders a
chance to get rid of treasures
they no longer need and shoppers
can find treasures they just can't
live without. Usually the hall
is packed and filled with excite-
ment. So mark your calendar and
bring some spare change.
Sewing will be at Brenda
Stainbrook's house March 27.
Okay Harstine Island students,
now is the time to be working
on those scholarship applica-
tions. The Harstine Island Wom-
en's Club has for years offered
a couple of real good ones. The
deadline for getting applications
in is May 4. So, if you are a Harst-
ine Island resident and if you
are graduating from high school,
or you are attending a college,
university or vocational school,
you can apply for the Women's
Club $1,000 scholarships. The
club will pay the money directly
to the students' school of choice
with proof of attendance. Applica-
tions are available from school
counselors at Olympic Community
College (Shelton) and South Puget
Sound Community college; North
Mason, Shelton and CHOICE high
schools. Also they can be found
at Sound Learning (Mason Co.
Literacy). Additional applications
may be obtained from Harstine
Island Women's club Scholarship
Committee; Attn: Scholarship
Committee c/o Sandra Herndon,
449 Pointes Drive E., Shelton WA,
98584. And as I noted, these ap-
plications need to be turned in by
May 4, so that means you have to
start working on them now.
