Good afternoon. In the newsletter today: A few weeks back, I sat down with Haylie Bennett, a former PHS and OSU volleyball standout who is playing professional volleyball in France, and wrote a feature on where she’s at in her career. Plus, we have the latest OSP Log and Mount Union Stories. Also, the PHS Shining Stars plan to host a kids dance camp and a notable quilt exhibition is on display at Philomath Museum.

Note to readers: There will not be a Saturday newsletter this week (I’m on vacation).
Thanks for reading!
