Good afternoon. In the newsletter today: Philomath Community Services, now in its 32nd year, plans to celebrate volunteers and supporters during a special event from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Sunday at Marys River Park and the community is invited (there will be free pizza). Plus, a pretty intriguing lineup of musicians will be performing Sunday evening at Marys River Grange Hall. See below for links to each of those stories.
Thanks for reading!
