Boot drive for Doernbecher Children's Hospital

Fire Fighter Jodie Mason and Mike Arthur of the Kiwanis Club of Cathlamet were two of the local firefighters, EMS crew members, and Kiwanis club members who braved the weather this weekend to raise more than $5,000 for Doernbecher Children's Hospital through their annual boot drive. Volunteers paired up in shifts to stand outside on Main Street in Cathlamet or at the Chevron in Rosedale to collect donations from people passing by. "Thank you Cathlamet and District 4 fire chiefs and volunteers," Kiwanis President Linda Barth said happily on Tuesday. Photo by Diana Zimmerman.
