Winlock News 03.04.15

Winlock was rocked by a horrific tragedy this week. A woman and two children perished in a house fire that leveled the family home. Winlock has once again shown its true colors by supporting the family. There is a fund set up at Umpqua Bank that will assist the family as they deal with this loss. If you would like to donate, please drop by the bank. I also understand that the manager at Aaron's in Chehalis is a Winlock resident and is also taking clothing donations. Please help this family as they take on the task of rebuilding their lives. We would like to offer our condolences to the family as they go through this difficult time. Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.
