North County Resistance was out there in Nehalem this past Saturday with the rain, wind, and cold weather telling us to go home. Us, would be 40 people. What a great turnout for this weekly event! Thanks to everyone and your positive attitudes. And a special thank you for the chocolate muffins with cream cheese icing and the oatmeal, raisin, and chocolate cookies. Everybody was waiting for seconds on those. Yummy!
We go from day to day not knowing which way the flag at the White House is blowing. At times it seems to be from hour to hour. I hope we can learn from such negative speeches and thoughts. We don’t want to go there. What good does all this negativity do? It does no good at all. Yes, I think all, or most of us are feeling lots of negativity, but don’t let this transfer into the rest of our lives. Stay positive with all you do every day. Your family needs you; your organization needs you; your church needs you; your school needs you. Step up and help in a positive way. Do not give up!
I have some corrections made on the food you can take to Nehalem Bay Community Services. They are wanting “shelf stable foods only”. No fresh produce, dairy products, meats, or eggs. I am sure you understand that foods needing refrigeration are difficult for them to store. But you can always bring commercially canned products such as meats, peanut butter, jelly, soups, boxed mixes, and such. Same is true for North County Food Bank. Contact information for Nehalem Bay Community Services, PO Box 232, Nehalem, Oregon, 97131, 503-368-4385. North County Food Bank, PO Box 162, Wheeler, Oregon, 97147, 503-368-7724. Both these organizations appreciated so much the donations they have received and thank you all very much. And yes, we are happy to take these donations at our protest and deliver them to either organization.
Hope to see you in Nehalem at the next peaceful protest put on by the North County Resistance on Saturday, February 28, from noon to 2 PM. We still need more people to help us with our March 28 No Kings Protest. Crossing guards and safety officers. Please contact me if you might be able to help.
Best,
Patty
