Members of the Olympic Peninsula Chapter of Club Miata Northwest made a speedy delivery once again to the Sequim Food Bank, 144 W. Alder St., last week for Christmas. They drove their Miatas filled with food to the food bank on Dec. 14, after their monthly meeting at Paradise Restaurant. They also donated more than $350. The club has been operating for four years with 30 members with 40 Miatas. They meet at noon the second Thursday each month at the restaurant.

Boxed dinners for Christmas were delivered through Dec. 18, but Food Bank board president Stephen Rosales said Christmas turkeys are available through Saturday, Dec. 23 or by calling him if an emergency at 360-461-6038.
