"Ever der her usual chocolate milk and cookies, but in reality she takes giving blood very seri- ously. "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 with a little bit of Marilyn in 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. / //r. ....... .,.
