On Oct. 20, Soroptimist of Marysville, a womens service organization, held our annual auction, a main fundraiser for our projects of service. Thanks to our members and so many good community friends who were in attendance, the auction was highly successful.
Editors Note: Letters to the Editor are prioritized and generally selected to run in The Times or The Globe based on the letter writers address where space is limited. The following letter was therefore omitted from the pages of The Globe and ran only in The Times. Mr. Blowers, who is the Republican 10th District Leader, asked that we include it in The Globe, even though it runs after the election.
We had a dog-gone great time. This year, Cascade Valley Hospital Foundations 5K Poker & Paws Walk event was, again, a huge success. After all was said and done and the last of dog hair was swept away, we tallied up our dollars and raised more than $16,000, our best year yet. None of this could have been accomplished were it not for the generosity of our sponsors.
For every one of the two trillion dollars spent during the three-plus years of the Iraqi war, a hundred questions have been asked and a thousand answers given.
Im writing to publicly thank Jim & Vicki Mattson, owners of Lets Dish! for their generous help this Christmas. My sister lives in Marysville with her husband and young daughter while the rest of our family all live in Kansas. The week before Christmas she injured her back and was in tremendous pain. It was frustrating to not be able to help her out in any way since we all live so far from her. Christmas was rapidly approaching and we wanted to do something to help them out. We decided to order some meals for them and see if we could locate someone to deliver them to their home. I came across Lets Dish! on the Internet and contacted them. Vicki was so kind and helpful and even offered more menu options. What prompted me to write this letter though, was her generous offer to deliver the meals to my sister even though that is not a service that they offer. Our family here in Kansas was so grateful for this extra act of Christmas generosity. Thank you Vicki and Jim Mattson.
As a long-time resident of Marysville and Public Information Officer for the Marysville Fire District, I am writing this letter of appreciation of generosity to our community. It was heart warming to experience the donation of toys, food, and money for our families in need and/or experiencing difficult times this holiday season. Even those with little, gave what they could to better the fortune of a neighbor.
I just sent this letter to the city of Marysville. I think the public has a right to know what they are up to.
The Marysville Community Food Bank has just been blessed with incredible community support in gathering donations from the Postal Workers Food Drive. We thank our citizens again for giving over 35,000 pounds of food.
Marysville Parks and Recreation held our free Annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 7. We are so pleased with the sponsorship and volunteerism from our community.
As the current cross country season for Arlington High School comes to a close, we would like to express our appreciation and respect for the coaches of the team. As parents, we have been involved with the cross-country team for the past six years. Both of our daughters have run for the team. The coaches instill a sense of camaraderie, dedication, fun and self-discipline that gives the students the drive to run farther than they ever thought they could and the motivation to continue pushing themselves. Weve seen these attributes spill into other areas of our daughters lives, such as academics, tennis, track and helping others.
The headlines shout the real story. Sony leads solar-cell production; Toyota number one in world car sales; environmentally based new jobs in Germany top 170,000; thousands of Chinese produced CFLs saving money for American households; Germany leading the world in wind power production; California takes strong action to cut carbon dioxide emission.

When my husband and I moved to Arlington 11 years ago, we were drawn by the small town atmosphere and strong community feel.
