Conscious Aging and Community Connections (CACC)
November 10, 2025, 2 – 4PM
Pine Grove Community Center
Manzanita

Aging With Grace in Cape Meares

At CACC gatherings, we highlight concerns around aging in place in our small communities, and facilitate social connections that enrich our lives.
Our villages in the Nehalem Bay Area comprise a naturally occurring retirement community — a place where more than half the residents are of retirement age. Yet there are not sufficient services to support aging in place; we rely on neighbors helping neighbors.
A shining example community self-reliance, the village of Cape Meares has taken on the aging-in- place challenge.

The tiny village of Cape Meares, tucked along the northern foot of the towering Cape Meares, is home to only 90 full-time residents. Median age in the village is 75 years.

Join us November 10, 2 to 4PM, to learn how residents of this isolated village are actively nurturing a community of support and awareness to prepare residents for aging-in-place and end of life.

We welcome Beverly Stein, Kathy Burke and Narayan Lincoln from the Aging With Grace program of the Cape Meares Community Association to the Pine Grove in Manzanita. It’s an opportunity to learn from this proactive group, exchange ideas, share resources and envision collaboration between our small North Coast communities. Come join the conversation!

A $5 contribution supports the Pine Grove Community house.

A new Quaker silent reflection group is meeting at 5PM on Wednesdays at St. Catherine Church in Nehalem. We begin with a short reading from a Quaker source then sit in silence together for about 45 minutes. This practice is not so much the silence as the opportunity to listen through the silence to one’s inner wisdom, or Light as we Quakers say.
Please feel free to join us. No experience necessary. We are a welcoming group.
For questions or information, please contact me at the above email.

Next Saturday North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) will be showing the film The People vs. Agent Orange at the main branch of the Tillamook County Library located at 1716 3rd Street in Tillamook on Saturday, November 8th at 1pm. Doors open at 12:30pm with the film starting at 1pm. We hope you can join us.

The Agent Orange catastrophe did not end with the Vietnam War. Today, the world over, a primary chemical of the notorious defoliant controls weeds in farming, forestry, parks, along railbeds and roadways, and even in children’s playgrounds. The pesticide can wreak havoc on the human genome, causing deformities and deadly cancers.

This investigative documentary interweaves personal with political struggles as it follows two heroic women who are leading a worldwide movement to hold manufacturers of these pesticides accountable.

After the film, people will have opportunities to learn more about the pesticide-related challenges Oregonians continue to face, especially in the fight to keep surface drinking water safe. Carol Van Strum and Susan Swift, two of the activists starring in the film, will be on hand to answer questions after the movie.

Trailer: https://vimeo.com/user37094368/review/460648960/ebcfe738a1

NCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use in community water sources regardless of who owns the land, and wants an end to pesticide applications near where people live, work and recreate. Clean drinking water and clean air are part of the public trust that we all are entitled to have. Please help North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection safeguard and restore our drinking watersheds. www.healthywatershed.org |
