Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post

There will be a different location for this week’s peaceful PROTEST gathering. We will be meeting at the corner of Highway 101 and both Laneda and Manzanita Avenues. We will meet up at noon and going to 2 PM, Saturday, April 19. There are a few extra signs but please feel free to bring your own. The gatherings in Nehalem have been positive with approximately 98% of the people going by thanking us for PROTEST. New people are coming to join us each week-we thank them all! Please join us if you can. At this moment, the weather is projected to be cloudy next Saturday, but we all know that can change one way or another.

Government funds have affected many local programs. A critical program in our area is the North Tillamook County Food Bank (NTCFB) located in Wheeler. We are asking you to donate what you can to this organization. The location of the NTCFB is 278 Rowe Street-which is across from the Nehalem Bay Health Center. The building is only open when food is distributed and that is at noon on Tuesdays.

You can donate three ways. Go to their website, www.northtillamookcountyfoodbank.org and press the “donate” button to donate online. You can send a check to NTCFB, PO Box 162, Wheeler, Oregon, 97147. Or you can go to the NTCFB on Tuesday to deliver food at that time. A monthly donation they can count on would be a real bonus. The NTCFB has a message phone, 503-368-7724. Thank you for considering adding them to your giving list. We will have collection boxes for canned foods and donations at all our PROTEST locations.

A reminder of our PROTEST will be sent out later this week.
