A benefit dinner and silent auction will help raise money for John Parker of Hermiston, who is being treated for pancreatic cancer.

A small group that meets regularly at Oasis Vineyard Church with Parker’s wife, Vanda, are organizing the event to help offset costs due to medical treatment. The event is Saturday, Jan 20 at 5:30 p.m. at the church, 1255 S. Highway 395, Hermiston. The cost is $20 per person or $120 for a table of eight. The meal includes pork chops, potatoes, a vegetable, rolls and dessert. Items up for bid include a guided goose hunt and gift baskets from Lucky Endz Gifts and Bellinger Farms and Gourmet Shoppe.
