A Celebration of Life will be held on July 12 in honor of Gary Honald of The Dalles, who recently passed away.  It will take place in The Dalles Civic Auditorium ballroom from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on what would have been Honald’s 80th birthday.   The Dalles Kiwanis Club is sponsoring the event as a way to provide the community a way to share their memories of Honald, who was involved in numerous community events, as well as enjoy his favorite desserts: cherry pie and apple pie.  Honald drove the Santa Sleigh in the Starlight Parade every year, and The Dalles Kiwanis Club is working to ensure the tradition continues in his honor through a fund has been set up by The Dalles Kiwanis Club to make sure that the sleigh continues to operate and continues to be filled with toys.  There will be an opportunity to contribute to the fund at the celebration.  Donations may also be sent to The Dalles Kiwanis, P.O. Box 604, The Dalles, Oregon  97058.   For more information contact The Dalles Kiwanis Secretary, Sherry Munro at 541-298-4825.
