Our farmers will continue to bring the summer goodies we all love: tomatoes, corn, peaches, dahlias, and more. But we should also start to see more fall produce arriving as the days grow shorter and nights cool off, so keep an eye out for more root crops, squash, cabbages, and more.

After a couple week hiatus, we are again tripling your SNAP benefits and will continue to do so for the rest of the season! Sales of our new commemorative poster fund our Triple Up benefits, enabling lower income members of our community to shop at the farmers market and supporting our farmers and vendors. Get yours at the market info booth!

Music this week is by our own market manager Carolina, performing as Corvus Landing. With a voice like sweet bourbon and a unique multi instrumental style, you’ll hear original songs and familiar tunes like you’ve never heard them before. With her own feet playing percussion and a range of electric and acoustic sounds, Corvus Landing covers a range of pop, blues, Americana, rock, and soul.

ROCKAWAY BEACH, OR. – North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) is calling on all concerned residents of the North Coast to attend an upcoming public hearing and voice support for safeguarding Nedonna Beach’s irreplaceable coastal wetlands.  Help prevent further development and establish  a precedent for protecting Oregon’s vital wetlands and drinking water sources.

NCCWP, a nonprofit advocating for an end to logging and pesticide use in community drinking water sources regardless of ownership, works to ensure safe drinking water and clean air as public trust rights.

There will be a Red Cross Blood Drive on Friday, September 12 from 12:00 Noon to 5:00 pm at Nehalem Bay Fire & Rescue – Station 13. Address is on the attached flyer.

The Red Cross has over 135 years of experience providing humanitarian aid including more than 75 years of supplying blood to those in need. Each pint of blood they collect can help save up to three lives and will touch the lives of so many more. What a great way to pay it forward and make an impact on people in our community and across the country.

We are Thankful to Partner with the American Red Cross in this important work. A good number of you are already routine donors, and THANK YOU!!

If you are able to Donate, please visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter: NBFR to schedule an appointment.

If you would like to join the amazing Red Cross as a Volunteer, please contact the Red Cross at: www.redcross.org/volunteer/become-a-volunteer.html or call 1-800-733-2767 (1-800-RED Cross).

There are many ways you can help, but most importantly we hope you come out to donate at this or an upcoming Blood Drive in our area.

The reason I am sharing this email is because this Blood Drive was scheduled to be held in Manzanita, but that facility is not available. Chief Frank and the Nehalem Bay Fire & Rescue stepped in and has made their venue available for this drive (in addition to their regular Blood Drive schedule).
THANK YOU TO OUR PARTNERS ALWAYS!!

Thank You for your Consideration to Donate; it is truly Life Saving for So Many.

Sincerely,
Velda Handler RN

The sessions are scheduled every other Tuesday from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm in our main classroom space. Bring your preferred drawing materials (no oil-based media or solvents please) and an easel if you have one. The Hoffman Center has a limited supply of easels and drawing materials; first come, first served. The Hoffman Center will provide drawing boards.

The tuition is $20 per two-hour session, which includes the fee for the model. We encourage pre-registration, though drop-in participation is welcome. Please contact visualarts@hoffmanarts.org with questions about life drawing sessions or joining our group of fantastic life drawing models.

Michael birds and photographs extensively in Tillamook County, around Oregon, and beyond. He caught the birding bug starting with a Golden Eagle banding in central Oregon with his 8th grade science teacher some 60 years ago. Michael says “I have always been partial to woodpeckers” and in 2017 he made a book of photographs featuring all 22 woodpecker species found in the US and Canada. Now Michael is working on the 50 or so US warbler species and has just a few to go! “So many birds, so little time!”

We understand everyone learns and experiences the outdoors differently, and we strive to support everyone who is interested in attending our events! Please contact us in advance so we can do our best to accommodate your accessibility needs.

WEBS and partners are hosting this event as part of the Explore Nature series of hikes, walks, paddles, and outdoor adventures. Led by a consortium of volunteer community and non-profit organizations, these meaningful nature-based experiences highlight the unique beauty of Tillamook County and the work being done to preserve and conserve the area’s natural resources and natural resource-based economy. Learn more about Explore Nature at www.explorenaturetillamookcoast.com.

WEBS and OAP will have welcome tables set up at The Schooner Restaurant and the upper parking lot at Oceanside Beach, so volunteers can choose where to start the day. “Let’s take this opportunity to clean up the beach with friends or family, or expand your community by teaming up with fellow volunteers,” says Marina Dreeben, WEBS stewardship coordinator. Marina goes on to add “In addition to cleaning up the beach, join us for a marine debris survey demonstration at The Schooner at 9:30am to learn how debris is monitored on the beach year-round, and how you can help!” In our efforts to reduce waste, instead of using plastic bags, please bring your own bucket to collect debris. There will be some extra buckets on hand if needed.

AND be sure to stick around after the cleanup for a special treat just for volunteers – The Schooner will be grilling up fresh oysters from Pearl Point Oyster here in Netarts to thank you for keeping our coastal ecosystems clean!!

As you head out to clean up or just explore, it is important to remember that ocean shores can be dangerous. Avoid logs in the water, keep your distance from marine mammals, and never turn your back on the ocean! If you find any hazardous material, please alert a staff member.

Advanced registration saves time but is not required. To register and read more about this event visit www.netartsbaywebs.org/events
