As a result, we can fund our Pacific High School senior scholarship to a $1000 award again this year. Of course, we could never have done this without the much-appreciated assistance from community members and businesses.: Bandon Floral and Gifts for the lovely table flower arrangements, Ray's Food Place, Port Orford, Langlois Market and Bandon's McKay s and Ray's Food Place all generously contributed ground beef toward the cause. The community bakers of Langlois truly came through. The auction of the many World Famous Langlois desserts was lively and full of humor. The outstanding Alder Road Band greatly enhanced the festivities. Again, our community truly made this event a memorable happening.
