"It doesn't matter whether
you give 200 pints or 10 pints
... it's that you're reaching
out and helping someone,"
she said. "You might be sav-
ing a life - you don't know."
Olson urged anyone
healthy enough to consider
giving blood, and also said
that anyone can give blood
to save for themselves for a
surgery.
"It makes me feel good,
that people are walking about

them," she said.
Harstine
Continued from page B-1
good working order is to join the Harstine
Island Community Club. Those membership
dues go right into the hall fund. Membership
costs $15 per person per year. Right now
there are some 1,200-1,500 full-time resi-
dents on the island and only 310 belong to
the community club. There is a trend these
days not to belong to service dubs, social
clubs and other types of organizations. And
I think a lot of people move to the island
because it is out of the way. But belonging
to the community club doesn't really require
you to do anything but chip in $15 toward
the upkeep of the hall. So, this Saturday, if
you are out and about, stop by the farmers
market and sign up.
The annual Harstine Grange picnic is at
noon this Saturday, Aug. 20. The picnic is
being hosted by Billy and Patsy at the Glaser
Oyster CO. 1403 E. Ballow Road on Harstine.
Everyone is welcome to attend. Bring your
families. Children are always welcome and
lots of fun things are there for everyone. It's
an opportunity to welcome newcomers, visit,
share stories and cat great food. Everyone at-
tending is asked to bring a potluck item.
The Garden Club is thinking about hav-
ing a can-a-then on the second Saturday in
September.
What is a can-a-then? The garden club
members want to teach people how to can
the foods that they grow in their gardens. So,
if you haven't ever canned food before, give a
garden dub member a call.
Looks like the burn ban will run through
September, so try to keep those fires out.
