Ward Potluck and Board Games Night

Ward Family,
On Friday, May 10th, Provident Living is hosting a potluck and games night at our building from 6:30 to 9pm.  Please bring a dish or two to share (no chips or store bought desserts).  Dishes could be something from your food storage, a new recipe you want to try, or a family favorite.  We aren't picky.  If you bring friends, bring enough food for them too.  We'll provide the plates, etc. and water to drink.  I'm thinking of making a yummy lentil dish that my family loves, is easy to make, and comes from my food storage.  My girls will probably make a dessert too.  I haven't decided what game to bring yet, come and you'll find out.  We hope to see you there!

Deer Island Farms
 
Hi,

I will have fresh Yakima asparagus, cold storage apples, yams and potatoes available for delivery Saturday, April 27.  The asparagus grower is in the process of becoming a certified organic grower and has used no herbicides or pesticides on this planting of asparagus which is now two years old.  The asparagus will be very fresh since it will have been harvested in the morning the day before delivery.

New delivery location - Aloha

For those of you in the Aloha/Hillsboro area, I am adding a new delivery location in the parking lot of the movie theater that is at SW 234th and TV Highway.  This is probably closer to Hillsboro than Aloha but I am going to refer to it as the Aloha delivery location.

Order deadline will be Wednesday, April 24 at 5:00 p.m.

Thanks,
Dale Graff
