January 15, 2014 LETTERS FROM PAGE 7 Orgeron, and all the PTA members and friends. A special thank you to Coach Ron, who is always available for the students he gives a lot of time and effort. Thank you to all and we hope to do it again next year. Look for our Spring car wash to be announced in paper. Thank you all for taking interest in our school. Thank you QES PTA PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG AGAIN WITH THE DOG WASTE AND TRASH? We are not your dumpsite! How many letters and signs does it take for you to get some manners? We are not your mother. Residents and visitors alike! If you can no longer bend over, they make a very reasonably priced tool to help you. Keeping America beautiful starts at home! Full-time Resident R. Nelson THANK YOU FROM OPERATION HERO COMFORT I would like to extend a huge Thank You to everyone who made the Silent Auction sponsored by Operation Hero Comfort a huge success. Thrivent for Lutherans matched the first $500.00 raised and provided volunteers to help with the set up and tear down. They have been a great support over the years. We had many great volunteers, wonderful items donated by many businesses, vendors and individuals. The people who bid on the items were great. We change locations this year to the new Community Center and did not have as many people come to bid as previous years. I hope that will improve next year. Each box we send is $14.85 for postage. The money we made will go toward postage and to purchase items that are requested but not donated. Here is the list of everyone who donated. If you shop at any of these places or see any of these people, please thank them for their donation: 35 www.DesertMessenger.com Addicted to Deals, Alex Taft, Anita Carlson, Artzy Things, Audrey Berger, Baby Cakes Fancy Pants, Bad Boys Café, Bert Day, Big Al's, Bill Bailey, Bling's The Thing, Boni's Crafts, Butterflies Unlimited, Camilla Dahl, Carol Kelley, Carol Zetzsche, Carolyn Lindquist, Crafts by Dale and Arlene, Crazy Jerry's Pizza and Wings, Custom Gifts and Crafts, D & B Leather, Darrell Bubb, Dericksons Jewelry and Repair, Dona Dole, Dorothy & Toto's Ice Cream, Evelyn Robison, For the Creation, Fred and Diane Jenkins, Gene Perry, Girls N Pearls, Glenn, Good Ground Trading, Hand Emboided Kitchen Towels by Nancy, Hardies Beads and Jewelry, Herb's Hardware, Jack & Evie's Craft Studio, Jack's Collectibles, Jenna Carlson, Jerre's Glam'r Jackets, Jim Buys, Jo Foster Stoltz, Jo's Jazzy Jewels, Joann's Fry Bread, Joanne Winer, Jonalee Brazel, Joyce's Craft Supplies, Judy's Fashion/J&B Sales, K&K Kitchen Tools, Karen's Kreations, KB Tools, Keepsake Boxes by Bill, Kevin and Gina Utley, La Casa del Rancho, Leather and More, Lynn Thomas, Main Street Eatery, Mary Ann Peck, Mary Huntley, Miners Depot, Nan Burrows, Nancy Grieger, Old World Chalkware Santas, Paul Olness, Quartzsite Bakery, Quartzsite Cap and Embroidery, Quartzsite General Store, Readers Oasis Bookstore, Ricks Reliks, Roadrunner Rocks, Robbie Roske and Gloria Roby, Robert Honberger, Rocks –N- Jewelry, Rod's Creations, Rug Gallery, Rustics, RV Lifestyles, RV Pit Stop, Sandy's Apparel, Scooters BBQ at Rice Ranch, Silly Al's, Sisterly Lv's Basket Showcase, SockIt-To-Me, Solitude Miles, Sunrise Trading, T Rocks, Talon Leather & Silver Company, Tennessee Socks, The Hat Lady, The Main Trading Post, The Sisters Gallery, Therese Morris, Times Three Family Restaurant, Twisted Sisters, and Your Putting Me On Anita Carlson, Operation Hero Comfort Transit available for Pow Wow preview Quartzsite Transit Van services will be available Tuesday, January 21st from 6pm – 7pm for the annual QIA POW WOW Preview of Displays!
