MealTrain for Letty Buchanan
Letty, being the amazing mother that she is, has been right by her daughter’s side and has missed a lot of work, taking unpaid leave to care for her.
If you know Letty then you know she has a heart of gold and is a very dedicated First Responder and an overall amazing person.
Thank you so much for your help during these difficult time for Letty, Athena and their family!

IN SEARCH OF A 1970s ERA KITCHEN STOVE FOR OUR NEXT PLAY
Hi!
Riverbend Players needs a stove from the 1970s for our next production.
The popular colors back then were avocado green, yellow, and brown. It’s a very Brady Bunch-looking stove.
I’ve attached a picture as an example of what we’re looking for.
It doesn’t have to work, and we could return it after production.
If you don’t have one, please ask around for us. We’d appreciate the help!
Thank you, and Happy Holidays!!!

‘A CHRISTMAS STORY’ IS RIVERBEND PLAYERS MOST ATTENDED PRODUCTION EVER! FINAL 3 SHOWS!
RIVERBEND PLAYERS MUST-SEE HOLIDAY COMEDY FINAL THREE SHOWS!
DEC. 15th – 17th at the NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem.
Reserved Seating and Showtimes at www.RiverbendPlayers.org Children 12 and under $10, General $20, Premium $25
A CHRISTMAS STORY: Humorist Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the late 1930s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas.
Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself at Higbee’s Department Store. The consistent response: “You’ll shoot your eye out!”
All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family’s temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg in a net stocking; Ralphie’s fantasy scenarios and more.

Seeking Manzanita Branches
I’m hoping to find a few strong Manzanita tree branches to build a perch for a large parrot. Hoping to find enough to make a a couple stands/perches around the house. If anyone has access and wouldn’t mind me cutting a few, or even some already cut, I would be so grateful. Other types of wood we are interested in are; elm, poplar, ash, maple, walnut and apple. Although I think I already have apple branches covered. Thanks in advance!

2nd Thursdays CDP and Ecstatic Dance Fusion
.

This Thursday 12.14
the dance offering is a fusion between Contemplative Dance Practice and Ecstatic Dance led by Reeva Wortel
At the White Clover Grange on Hwy 53
Doors open at 6:00 PM for warmup/setup

$10 – $20 cash check or venmo/paypal

____
Contemplative Dance Practice is a meditator’s dance hall or a dancers’ meditation hall, this practice provides opportunities to develop awareness of inner and outer rhythms, deepen mindfulness disciplines, and provide a container for cultivating acceptance of what is arising in the body.
We will arrive together and settle in with music opening and warming up the space.
We will then do a short sitting meditation before entering into Personal Awareness Practice and then Open Space where we encourage kinesthetic delight and a growing curiosity for what is unfolding for ourselves first and then others.
We continue listening deeply to the movements of the breath and consciously trust our own not knowing.
Near the end of our session we will explore spontaneous composition in the Red Square Practice where a thick red rope is laid down on the floor, our gaze rests with the room and the Square. Nothing much is happening. Just waiting. Then something comes. Like a fish leaping from water, we see in our minds eye a glimpse of our self in a still posture in the Square. We rise up, walk into the Square, and inhabit what we see.
We will end with music guiding our way to a warm closure and a short closing circle with each person who wishes to speak expressing what they experienced and what they saw.
We dance every Thursday (and once a month Sunday)…hope to dance with you soon.

Update to Lawsuit Response
Update to Lawsuit Response
I want to acknowledge that the Pioneer updated the article Cara Mico wrote. They removed the word lawsuit after the article posted. While I got it right about Will Stone’s posts, I was mistaken about Randy Kugler’s use of the word lawsuit. I believed he used that word in a response to someone’s post but when I looked, I couldn’t find it. I want to apologize for my mistake. In future posts I’ll make sure to slow my roll and include direct quotes as I usually have in the past.
