As you read this edition you will begin to sense what will happen when you don’t listen to the editor. Instead of interesting contributions from yourself or others you get
There will be no more comments about people speeding in the park, not cleaning up after their pets, love stories of any kind. I shall try to spend some moments, every day, in appreciation of all the good aspects of living in Long View Hills, not the least of which is the SOCIAL CLUB. Thanks to them we are all given the opportunity to gather together for dinners, breakfasts plus all the other activities.
I appreciate the fact that a group of residents care enough about the rest of us to spend hours in preparation for a disaster of any kind. What they do is important and serious business.
I appreciate the leadership of the LVH Fishermen’s Club, of which I am a non-contributing member, their activities are not only fun but are recognized county and state wide for their contributions.
I appreciate the fact that I am blessed with great neighbors who display all the friendly and cooperative aspects of what it means to live in this type community.
Finally, I hope to highlight what other inhabitants of LVH are doing, have done, hope to do or wish they hadn’t. In addition, I owe many thanks to those who have already suggested the names of folks who might be interviewed for inclusion in coming issues.
Christmas family!
From Ginger Dale
Just a note to let everyone who contributed gifts for the Christmas family know that we were able to give this family a wonderful Christmas. I did learn that all of the kids are not her own grandchildren; she just inherited some of them. The grandma does work, but doesn't make much and does not receive much in the way of aid for the kids. So, she was more than grateful for all of the gifts and gift cards that we gave her.
The people of Longview Hills are very generous when they see a need. There are so many ways to help around our community and our city; it is great to see such a great response from everyone.
Thanks again and here are to a wonderful New Year for all of us!!

THE LINE:
Barbara Dudley
On Thursday, December 20th, the Longview Hills Fishing Club had their annual Christmas Party. This is the last meeting of the year and what better way to spend it than with friends? John Spangler reflected on some of the things we did the past year and I think we all realized we sometimes forget just how busy the LVH Fishing Club is. Not only are we involved with projects helping ODFW and SOLV, we also had some wonderful field trips and guest speakers. It was a great year.
This last meeting of the year is also marked by the presentation of the Joe Longo Award. The recipient this year was Bill Furgason. He was honored for his many contributions to the Fishing Club, the service he gave as a member of the LVH Fishing Club Board, and his wonderful, upbeat attitude. Michelle Longo, Joe Long’s daughter, was on hand to present the award to Bill, which made it extra special.
MEMBER OF THE MONTH: It only seems appropriate at the end of this long and productive year to salute each and every member of the LVH Fishing Club. We wouldn’t have a Club without you, so I will say to you all, “Well done!”
The Board is really looking forward to this next year, 2008. Please let us know if there is anything you would be interested in. Maybe you know a guest speaker you would like to hear, or a special topic for a meeting, or a field trip you would be interested in. We would love to hear your suggestions. Also, everyone who reads this column, please remember you are invited to any of our meetings or field trips.
THIS AND THAT:
We have no minutes of the Social Committee for this issue to keep up with the activities for January check the boards in the clubhouse.
Bonnie Rose is now doing the Sunshine Page. If you are aware of someone whom she should send a card contact Bonnie at 574-6546.

Here should have been an article by Lee Watkins. I left it out because it was formatted as a picture that could not be copied. During the process of putting it on the website it simply would not allow itself to be copied..
