Free counter depth fridge

Submitted By: chazkingsley@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
We are passing along our Conserv counter depth fridge freezer. We bought it new 15 years ago and it has worked well ever since.
We want this to go to someone local in need of good fridge that will hopefully provide many more years of service. We’re in manzanita and it will be first come first serve. I’m available the next 24 hours and then away til mid January.
Dimensions: 79” h x 23” w x 24” d (26” with handles). Some wear, and no guarantees, but we’ve been using it as second fridge for the past 4 years without a problem, which we no longer need. It will take a little dolly and a couple people to take away.

Flood Us With Support!!

Dear Community,

We were preparing the store for you – dressing up our mannequins, making cedar boughs and hanging vintage decorations.

Then, the rain came. A lot of rain.

The rain came with such force, it burst a culvert above our building and sent a muddy river through our office, store, workshop and out the front door! 4 inches of water pooled at our front counter the following morning. Fans, heaters and de-humidifiers are running full blast as we try to dry out walls and contents.

One might think, “it’s all trash, right? It was headed for the landfill.” Wrong.

We believe that discards are valuable resources. We love every piece of artwork, old book, severed doll head, vintage typewriter, and handmade card in our store. We lovingly unboxed and cleaned and repaired every single thing on our shelves. We are now looking across the store at damp chaos and it’s heartbreaking.

We promised each item that we would find it a new home.

We need the store’s revenue to burst into Spring with fresh energy, to organize Trash Bash, to pay our vision leader! Aside from closing to dry out, we are looking to close for a longer winter break, so we can reorganize.

Can you please give a little to help us cover operations this winter?

From The Heart – Thank you!

Conscious Aging and Community Connections, Monday, Dec. 11, 2-4pm at Pine Grove

Submitted By: telaskinner@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hello Community Friends,

The Conscious Aging and Community Connections program will meet Monday, December 11th, 2-4pm at Pine Grove Community House. Door opens at 1:45.

This program meets on the second Monday of each month with the intention to provide a space for people in our area to gather and get to know one another as we address some of the challenges and opportunities we face as aging human beings.

The topic this month is Traversing the Edge Between Doing and Being.

If you have time before Monday please take some time to contemplate the topic and the following quotes:

Our curriculum of conscious aging requires that we get as close as possible to the thing that’s scaring us, in order to reveal our attachments, and to experience the serenity that comes from letting go of them. Ram Dass
It is the mental tendency to cling that creates anxiety, suffering, and fear, and once we’re able to identify what we are attached to — a certain standard of living, say, or a body that does not change — we are able to take the first steps toward freeing ourselves, regardless of the particular difficulty. Ram Dass
We sometimes erroneously project midlife values, activity patterns and expectations onto old age, and then define these values, patterns and expectations as successful aging. Maybe our projections are not just rooted in midlife, but also in western culture and white middle class hopes for success to continue into old age. When you think about it, what makes us think that we will be the same person with the same desires at 80 as we are at 50? And why would we want to be the same? Lars Tornstam
It is important to create opportunities … to build some time into our lives to consider our deepest questions about who we are, where we are, and how it all makes sense. Ram Dass

We’re experimenting with the program format and have decided to try breaking into several smaller groups to allow more in-depth discussions. We also hope this will mitigate the noise level and honor individuals who prefer not to speak in front of a large group. Please note, you are welcome to pass anytime you don’t feel like talking. We are open to feedback about these meetings, so feel free to express your ideas and/or concerns to organizers.

Future events:
January 8: Creating a Compassionate Community. We’ll provide more information about this before the session.

January 29th: 1-5pm Creating Vision Boards. More information about this event will be coming by mid-January. If you are interested in this, please let me know. telaskinner@gmail.com

The Conscious Aging and Community Connections Program is sponsored by Pine Grove Community House which allows us to keep admission at $ 5 per session.

We look forward to seeing you Monday!
The Conscious Aging Team: Tela Skinner, Kathie Hightower, Sue McGrath, Jan Hamilton, Mary Ruhl, Kathleen Moore, Dori Bash and Paula Sansum.
