“Lifting the community with education and services that promote healing on all levels…”
Nehalem Bay Health District’s
Meeting of the Wheeler Care Center, LLC
Wednesday, January 24, 2024
5:30 pm
This meeting is open to the public and those interested can attend via Zoom video conferencing.
For questions or other information: info@nehalembayhd.org
Join Zoom Meeting:
WHERE: Yoga Roots Studio in Manzanita
WHEN: Mondays 5pm-6:30pm beginning Feb. 5
WHAT TO EXPECT:
We’ll move through relaxing, passive yin shapes paired with sound healing via singing bowls, crystal harp, drumming and chimes. Deepen into yourself with this self-healing, energy-balancing weekly practice.
In yin yoga we spend several minutes in each shape, using gravity paired with body weight and breath. This helps to gradually expand & untangle the connective tissue (fascia and ligaments) throughout the body. Yin yoga can significantly improve circulation, increase range of motion, and help prevent injury. This practice of slowing down and deep connection with the body/mind through breath invites parasympathetic nervous system to deeply relax, bringing all systems into natural balance.
The frequencies of sound healing interact with the energy centers of the body. Sound healing can also slow the brainwaves into a restorative state, further activating the body’s self-healing mechanisms.
Yin & sound healing paired together is a luxurious recipe to renew and rebalance the mind, body and spirit.

This is a members only event* AND it is also a great opportunity to renew … or … initiate your membership in Pine Grove Community House. Membership is $20 per person for the year.
We will be honored to have Manzanita City Manager Leila Aman speak to us about the state of the city. The cities of Wheeler and Nehalem have submitted written reports which will be read at the meeting as well.
The meeting begins at 5:30, and we will have a potluck dinner beginning around 6:00. Following that, our program will start around 6:30.
*Note: The Health Department does not allow for public potluck meals, however, a membership organization may have one.
We hope to see you there!

2024 is here and we wanted to offer a FREE class that will help you to up-level your ability to RESET and Optimize the Nervous System– especially following trauma, overwhelm, or burnout.
Why is this important? Not only does our Nervous System give us the ability to move, breathe, think, and learn, it is responsible for how we interpret or adapt to our changing environment. With that in mind, you can how important it is that your nervous system is properly cared for, because then entirely new options for living become available to us!
During this class Dr. Dawn will teach a simple and gentle technique using your own touch and breath to sooth and reset the body. For those that are curious and eager to create a more energy-efficient and self-correcting nervous system, you will love the second half of the class! We’ll be offering a demonstration of our specialty spinal care– one of the most effective ways to reset and bring more resilience to your nervous system. Be the first to volunteer for the demo and you may even be able to experience the changes yourself!
Come and learn more of what is possible! We’ll also be extending the opportunity for a specially discounted Introduction to Care for those interested in experiencing the wonders of having more vibrance and a greater sense of well-being.

For those who voted for the 5yr tax levy, or those who may be invited to the exclusive dinner/fundraiser coming up, take a look at how the Board is on track to spend a good chunk of the expected revenue this year.
Disclaimer: this is not about TJ Fiorelli or his Company. It is about protocol, fiduciary responsibility and a possible ‘backroom’ sweet deal ill-approved by the board.
In March of 2023, TJ Fiorelli’s Consulting was approved for a ‘capped’ contract of $10,000 from the NCRD to raise 2 million dollars for the new pool (see board minutes of 3.16.23)
If you look at the NCRD’s financial statements from May ‘23 when the 1st invoice (#72) was paid thru the end is December, you’ll discover the NCRD has paid TJ’s company $41,060, that’s $31,060 over the approved contract.
SIDE NOTE: Curiously an additional $2200 was paid for ‘grant writing services’? Being heavily involved with the Friends of NCRD since almost its inception in 2008, their responsibility is raising funds through fundraising and grant writing, why is the NCRD paying an outside company to do this?
At the Board meeting Thursday night TJ confirmed he is being paid $8500/mo for his services, folks that’s $102,000.00 a year! The ‘past chair’ defended this expense as TJ has brought in a $500k donation ‘singlehandedly’, “more than anyone has ever done” That’s great Jack and…
NOTE: The Board is not allowed to meet outside a scheduled board meeting. The public is to be notified and allowed to be present.
When I asked if this ‘new’ contract had been approved, Jack said yes. So my question is ‘When did that happen’? Did I also miss this (potentially) $102,000 contract being put out to bid to the community? Or at what Board meeting was this ‘new’ contract discussed and approved by the board? There is Nothing, Nada, -0- mention in any Board minutes regarding a contract, the date approved, the scope, the cost (there is a blurb in the October 12th minutes which states ‘Review/Approve contract with TJ Fiorelli: this item was tabled’. (Could a potentially negative impact on the 10/18 ballot drop for the 5yr levy been the consideration for this table?)
Pay attention Community: we were told by past BM Wally B, ‘you don’t want to get on the wrong side of the board, we have our own way of doing things’.
I am requesting the following documents be presented at the February Board meeting:
1. Present signed and dated copies of the revised contract, approving payments made over and above the $10,000 ‘capped’ contract approved.
2.Present the notification agenda for the meeting where TJ’s ‘revised’ contract was presented, discussed and approved
3.Present copies of TJ’s 1st & 2nd signed and dated contracts with the NCRD
FYI: The Board meets on the 2nd Thursday, 6pm via zoom or in person at the NCRD. It would be great to see standing room only…
Dimensions: 9.5x16x31.5
Make me an offer.

For now, we are canceling our Winter Illumination:Flow to Grow that had already been rescheduled due to the storm— we had an oversight and have Christy Kay at Rising Hearts Studio hosting her Open Art Studio at the same time, January 21st 4-6 and is offering Vision Board! We hope you can make it there and we’ll find another time to offer this paired with a cacao ceremony, lymphatic pumping/stretching and a comfy community ecstatic dance event soon (probably our second Sunday morning in February).
