I had an inquiry about registering for the May 16 WaSH class from a person named Shelly… I believe.
The message went to my JUNK mail. I tried to get it over to the IN Box, but the message never reappeared.

If you’re out there Shelly (I believe I caught the name correctly), please reach out again so that I can help you get signed up for the class.

Come get swept away in some good storytelling and support your community while doing so! This play’s cast features 3 Manzanita/Nehalem Residents 🙂

This Thursday is **Pay What You Can** so if the ticket cost has been a hindrance (bc yup, it’s pricy!!!), we got you covered May 14.

“Bloomsday” is an Irish time-bending love story that blends wit, humor, and heartache into a buoyant, moving appeal for making the most of the present before it is past. When Robert returns to Dublin to reunite with Cait, the woman who captured his heart during a James Joyce literary tour thirty-five years ago, we also visit their younger selves and retrace the steps of what might have been.

Cast: Bryan Churchill, Bryonie Arnold, Mick Taylor, Gigi Chadwick

Runs May 8-31
Tickets at CoasterTheatre.com
Or
app.arts-people.com/index.php?actions=5&p=13

Or just show up! Tickets often available day of.

Come get informed. Get ideas to get you on your way in making a plan. Meet other members of your community and share discussion and questions.

WaSH – Water / Sanitation / Hygiene
Water: In times of emergency, you will need to provide your household with the water needed for survival. Learn the basics of SAFE water storage. Learn how to effectively filter and treat water from in-home and local sources.
Sanitation & Toilets: You will need a process and equipment to safely manage your household’s human and pet waste to avoid the spread of disease. While this may not be the most exciting of subjects, it is an essential one if we are to keep our community safe from unnecessary health risks following a disaster.
Hygiene: Hygiene is always important to protect against the spread of disease, but it becomes even more critical when our access to medical resources is cut-off or severely limited. The absence of running water definitely makes effective hand washing more challenging.

Register at EVCNB.ORG. Scroll to Events & Trainings.
Look for the water drop logo. Class is $20. Purchasing either/all of the three 2-bucket systems is optional, though they will be on hand & available for purchase after the class.

Manzanita Farmers Market opens this Friday, May 15, from 4-7 pm. Did you know that we accept SNAP benefits at market, and that we TRIPLE MATCH up to $20 each week? Every week that you spend $20 in SNAP at the market, you get an additional $20 in tokens and $20 in Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB). That means you can get $60 to spend at the market every week for just $20 in SNAP!

To use SNAP, start by visiting the market information booth, just inside the market entrance. We will run your card and give you tokens and Double Up Food bucks, accepted by all vendors selling eligible products.

Not sure what is an eligible product? The short answer is SNAP covers pretty much all food except ready to eat (sorry, no tacos!). This includes produce, meat, eggs, baked goods, jams and other canned goods, vegetable starts, herbs, tea, coffee, and more. Double Up Food Bucks can be used for fresh produce, including veggie starts. We have lots of information available in the info booth, and we’ll walk you through what you can use SNAP for when you run your card.

We can’t wait! Market opens this Friday, May 15, and runs from 4-7 pm at the Underhill Plaza behind City Hall, 635 Manzanita Avenue. See you there!

Community vending opportunities at the Manzanita Farmers Market. Calling all non-profits, local organizations, and kid entrepreneurs!

Manzanita Farmers Market starts next week, and we are so exited to be back! Market is on Fridays from 4-7, May 15-September 25. We have a full roster of vendors this year, but we still have a couple of opportunities available for local folks.

Junior Marketeers

Calling all young entrepreneurs! The Junior Marketeers booth welcomes local kids in grades K-8 to sign up to sell their handmand items. We welcome crafters, gardeners, bakers, and services (last year we had someone offering chess lessons!). We’ll provide a tent and you bring your products and your best market game. We have a couple of spaces available each week, kids can sign up in advance at the market booth or by emailing us at info@manzanitafarmersmarket.com. Younger children need a responsible adult to be present with them. Reach out to us for more info!

Community booth

We reserve space at every market for 1-2 local organizations to set up and connect with the community. We are open to non-profits, public organizations, and mutual benefit groups providing services or resources to the north coast community. Groups are invited to provide information about their services, fundraise, and promote or run activities in their booth. We typically have 1500-2000 visitors at each market, so this is a great chance to get the work out about what you are doing! If you are interested, please email the market and I will send you more information and a link to apply.

The years after the pandemic have worn many of us down, and we could all use some time to rest, play, and be inspired by the beauty of nature. Many adults struggle to give themselves permission to be still, have fun, and simply be with a community of peers for a few days without a major agenda.

At Camp Magruder’s Adult Renewal Retreat, we offer adults weary from managing the responsibilities of everyday life a camp experience to step away and refill their cups. Slow down and take part in time-honored camp activities, walk next to the ocean, pray or meditate, and build meaningful bonds with other grownup campers.

Registration of $202 per person covers 5 meals, 2 nights lodging, and activities. Adults from nearly every generation register, and though we will have spiritual offerings grounded in Christian tradition, we work hard to make the retreat a welcoming, spirit nurturing event for everyone who attends, regardless of religious background.

We regularly hear from adults a desire to be a camper again. We don’t stop needing camp when we turn 18. Hope to see you around the campfire June 5-7.

www.gocamping.org/campsession/19380195 to register.

Call 503-355-2310 or email troy@campmagruder.org if you have questions.

The board of the Nehalem Bay Health Center will be voting soon on whether to continue having acupuncture available as a modality when Dr. Gores leaves.
I left a comment protesting the possibility on a comment at the clinic, but think maybe letters to the board might be more effective.
I know appointments with Dr. Gores have made my healing from a fall go much more quickly and completely.
Also he has helped my son, and so many others. There is a waiting list to see him!
I wish Dr. Gores and his family well, but do not want to see the option of acupuncture disappear!

If you saw our first post a few weeks ago, thank you for the response. The support from this community has been genuinely moving.

Here’s where things stand…

The vision is clear, the artists are interested, and we are actively working to secure the funding needed to open the doors. This is a grassroots build… no big investors, no outside backing. Just people who believe in what this space can be for Manzanita and the Oregon coast.

Every contribution goes directly toward the communal table, the artist displays, and creating a welcoming space from day one. A place we can all walk into.

If you’ve been thinking about jumping in, now is the time. And if donating isn’t in the cards right now, sharing this with someone who might love it means just as much.

Learn more and support the space at perchmakerstable.com

So grateful for this community,
