Welcome to the Helix School District

Don and Bernie Rydrych Fundraiser

 
Bernie and Don Rydrych need our help. Both have been very active in the Helix community for many years. Don worked at the Experiment Station for many years and Bernie worked at BMCC for many years. Bernie has had some serious medical issues and has had both of her legs amputated. They have used up their medical insurance and savings but the medical bills are still piling up.
 
The Peace Lutheran Church is hosting a Dessert Social/Auction to raise funds to help out. This will be held at the Pendleton Convention Center Wednesday July 14th from 6-9 pm.
