I have a free king-size mattress – medium firmness.
It is in PERFECT shape. It has never been used without a waterproof cover to keep it free from everything.
I replaced it with a firmer mattress that I got for free from the same company as it was still under warranty.

Must pick up in Manzanita.

Spring color supports local non-profit!
Looking for more color in your Spring yard or Spring pots? Friends of North County Recreation District (NCRD) has the perfect set of bulbs to accomplish this. This Saturday, October 7, Friends will be in downtown Manzanita selling bulbs next to the Manzanita Grocery & Deli. Starting shortly after 9 AM get down there to be the first in line for the best selection. If you would like a catalog of what is available emailed to you, contact Gail at gailmyoung@mac.com. Or call me, Patty, 503-368-6081, and I will help you with your order.
The last day for our fresh flower bouquet sales at the Deli will be this coming Saturday. Mother Nature has made it clear we cannot keep selling. We thank you all for supporting us through our bouquet season. We will be able to support programs and projects for NCRD into this next quarter. We are following up these bouquet sales with our spring blooming bulb sales. With each order you’ll get a free cup of coffee!
Speaking of coffee, did you know you can use coffee grounds in your garden by adding it to your compost or using it as fertilizer? You will find lots of information on this topic if you type “Using Coffee Grounds in your Garden” into your computer.
Again, many thanks for supporting Friends of North County Recreation District.

Animal Blessing This Sunday

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: celeste.deveney@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Early October is the traditional time when we remember St. Francis and his commitment to the care of creation and in particular, of animals.
If you have a beloved pet, please join us this coming Sunday, October 8 at 2 pm at the Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church (36050 10th Street, Nehalem) for a Blessing of the Animals. We’ll have a very brief program and will then pray a blessing on each pet or service animal, anointing him or her with oil.
Please call the church (503-368-5612) and let us know if you’re bringing a non-mammal. The pastor is still happy to bless your pet; she’d just like to know if a large insect or reptile will be involved!)
We hope to see you there.

I LOVE NCRD!

I LOVE NCRD! That’s why I’m urging you to Vote Yes on the upcoming renewal of its 5-year tax Levy.

From the moment I walked into the doors of NCRD, I felt welcomed, included, and supported! My passion for fitness led me to join the center, but it’s been the members, staff, and the variety of programs that have kept me coming! The fitness and yoga instructors are top notch, and the classes offered are inclusive of all abilities, whether you’re young or wizened!

In addition to the classes and the fitness center, I’ve attended a number of fund raising and social events in the gym and in the various rooms that can be rented and used by the community. One of the attractions that draws me down the hall, is the art that adorns the walls of the River Room and the art room. The art is by local artists, and when the items are for sale, some or all of the proceeds benefit local programs or communities, so it’s a win win!

Another program that impressed me, and that I volunteer at, is the before and after school program, Playcare. Angie and her team assure a safe, well-supervised, stimulating environment for the children attending. This important program is offered at a fair price and there are scholarships for those families that need assistance. As a single mom, I know how much a program such as this was a life saver when I was raising my daughters!

While my participation and use of programs at NCRD has been limited to my personal interests, I’m very much aware of the Aquatics programs, the pre-school program that uses the space, and the many other services and programs that are offered at NCRD. I’m proud to be a member of this organization that provides so much to the community! Connection, Community, and Inclusivity are at the heart of this center.

Vote Yes for NCRD! No increase in taxes to you, and none of this goes to the funding of the new pool! This levy will assure that all programs, services, and operational costs can be covered! How has NCRD been part of your life and those around you? Let’s keep it going!

NCRD IS MORE THAN RECREATION!

Over the years, NCRD has responded with programs that enrich our community beyond recreation. NCRD operates a very popular childcare facility, adult activities (dance classes, fiber arts, book club), Forest to Sea Camp, the Performing Arts Center among others. The Performing Arts Center is a venue for a wide variety of events…musical concerts, Riverbend Players, lectures, Missoula Children’s theater, and more. This is not news to many of you who actively participate in both the recreation programs and the other opportunities that all make NCRD an important part of the life of our community. Please support NCRD’s upcoming vote to renew the five year operating levy.

FRANKENSTEIN: THE RADIO PLAY is a chilling adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic novel, brought to life through the power of sound and performance from the golden age of radio.

Join Captain Robert Walton and his crew as they become caught up in the story of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant scientist who creates a living being out of dead flesh.

But when the creature is rejected by its creator and the world, it sets out on a path of revenge that will bring death and destruction to all who cross it.

This radio play is full of suspense, horror, and thought-provoking themes. It is a must-see for fans of classic literature and vintage radio drama.

This week led by Lane deMoll

Thursday October 5th
At the White Clover Grange on HWY 53

Doors open at 6:00 PM for warmup/setup
6:30 PM – opening circle/dance set
8:00 PM – closing circle
This week led by Lane deMoll

$10-$20 donation : cash check or venmo/paypal
(kids are welcome to dance for free)

~This is a free-flowing dance and movement experience where you are encouraged to dance and enjoy the experience however you’d like with an intention of connecting deeper to yourself and exploring movement without words.
It’s an open space to play, celebrate life, practice embodiment modalities, enjoy music, process emotions, connect with others, and ultimately be nourished by the experience on a physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual level.~

Dance Etiquette/Tips:
*All are welcome – Family friendly events – Come as you are.
*Bring a water bottle and layers.
*Bring kindness and respect for yourself and others and your willingness to explore and to dive into the ecstasy of spirit available through movement.
*No outside shoes on the dance floor if possible (dirty floors aren’t fun to roll around on)
*Please no strong scents.
*We ask that you limit talking during the dance set. Set up, break time, and the foyer area are great places to have longer conversations to limit distractions for others.
*We are encouraging everyone to be mindful of each other’s safety and health and stay home if you are not feeling well, or have been exposed to someone sick. Follow your own judgment on whether to wear a mask or not.

We dance every Thursday…Hope to dance with you soon
