FISH thankful for $10K grant

The Honorable Frank L and Arlene G Price Foundation recently awarded a grant in the amount of $10,000 to the local non-profit FISH of Cowlitz County. The board of directors of FISH offers our sincere thanks and gratitude for this generous gift.

This funding will be used locally to purchase milk to add to the food boxes FISH distributes to hungry families through our network of 18 churches in Longview and Kelso.

Now more than ever, donations from generous people and organizations like the Price Foundation are essential to the ongoing success of our all-volunteer nonprofit. FISH provides food, prescription medications, dental care and eye glasses, help with utility bills, work shoes, bus passes, and other assistance to our neighbors in need.

Golf tourney a big success

On July 20-21, 2022, the Heritage Bank Women’s Scramble was held at Three Rivers Golf Course. We had a field of 94 players from Washington, Oregon and as far away as Arizona. This tournament was a great success due to some very fine local sponsors and organizations. Because of the generous help from our many sponsors, our tournament will be able to make donations to Meals on Wheels, the Emergency Support Shelter and Phoenix House.

Our deepest gratitude to our Title Sponsor Heritage Bank and Lorie Blaine for her guidance and assistance in helping our tournament become the great success it is each year.

We express our thanks and appreciation to the following: Hole-In-One Sponsors Max Kamp of Continental Investor Services, KP Sponsor Eldon Robbins Auto Sales and Long Drive Sponsor All-Out Sewer & Drain Service. Platinum sponsors were Twin City Bank, Waste Control and Recycling, Mary’s Bar and Grill, Jerri Henry of Cowlitz Boat and RV Storage, and Noelle Hamilton Attorney at Law. Our Gold Sponsors were the Three Rivers Men’s Association, Woodstove Warehouse, Steelscape, Triangle Bowl, The Futcher Group, Comfort Inn and Claudia Timmerman of Homer’s Bread. Bronze Sponsors were Anderson and Anderson Advisory; and Reitsch, Weston and Blondin Law Offices.

Thank you also goes to the Three Rivers Women’s 18 Hole Association who donated gifts and time to make a very successful raffle that will benefit children at Christmas.

A special thank you goes to Pat Palmer of Copies Today/Speedy Litho.

We also express our deep gratitude to the Kelso/Longview Elks Lodge No. 1482, and Lance Satcher and his staff from Three Rivers Golf Course for all their time and effort in making our golf tournament a huge success.

Finally, a heartfelt Thank you to Dot Joslin for all her computer work and especially our Goodfellas for your donation of time and energy to our ladies event.
