Hello BBQ Community-
I started this Go Fund me to help support Sharla Smith, our neighbor and friend, who is in desperate need, through no fault of her own. Her house was old and frail. They did earth compacting for a 24 unit apartment building project in back of our houses, for weeks on end. This broke the tub drain, which then comprised the bathroom. As they were working on repairs, one thing led to another, rot and black mold were uncovered throughout. Her house has become completely unlivable. Now, as winter is starting, she must go through the process of ripping down her home, and trying to figure out what to do next. I’m asking for help creating funds for her to use to at least build shelter for the winter, maybe even enough for a new home, if we can make it happen. I am starting with an amount that would help purchase the materials needed for a small stick built shelter, or purchase a small travel trailer- but again, if possible, please let’s try and go above and beyond to help fund a new home, where she can feel safe, and secure for many years to come. Sharla is an vital part of our community, giving love to us for many years. Now let’s give it back to her. Thank you!
Here’s the link to her Go Fund me – please donate if you can, and please share the link with others, so we can reach our goal, and get Sharla into safe shelter.

Deep Gratitude for you and our community!

MEET THE CAST OF A CHRISTMAS STORY: JULI STRATTON

Dec. 1st-17th at the NCRD Performing Arts Center

Tickets and more details at www.RiverbendPlayers.org
$25, $20, and $10 (12 and under)

Juli Stratton as Ralph:
Juli’s Riverbend Players stage debut came in 2022’s ARSENIC & OLD LACE, and this show marks her 5th production. Juli was last seen on stage in 12 ANGRY JURORS and FRANKENSTEIN: THE RADIO PLAY. She is a Riverbend Players board member, the theater group’s Artistic Director, and Volunteer Chairperson. Juli and her wife Amy live in Manzanita with their 3 fur kids.

A CHRISTMAS STORY:
Humorist Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the late 1930s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas.

Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself at Higbee’s Department Store.

The consistent response: “You’ll shoot your eye out!”
All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family’s temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg in a net stocking; Ralphie’s fantasy scenarios and more.

A Christmas Story, a theatrical holiday treat!

“When I typed into my computer the poverty rate of our three cities” listed below, this is what came up. Now, I’m sure there are other statistics you can come up with when you type in the same, but for the sake of argument let’s just say these poverty rate percentages are pretty close to being correct.
“Manzanita has a 2023 population of 633. Manzanita is currently growing at a rate of 1.28% annually and its population has increased by 3.94% since the most recent census, which recorded a population of 609 in 2020. The average household income in Manzanita is $96,466 with a poverty rate of 8.41%.”
“The race least likely to be in poverty in Nehalem is White, with 20.48% below the poverty level. The poverty rate among those that worked full-time for the past 12 months was 3.82%. Among those working part-time, it was 0%, and for those that did not work, the poverty rate was 29.85%.”
“The average household income in Wheeler is $47,603 with a poverty rate of 15.38%.”
So, who are these people who live in poverty? I’m assuming some have families, some are older, and some are single-just like the rest of us…just like the rest of us. Hmmm.
OK, back to the information that will allow you to help with food security, not only at this time of year, but year around.
North Tillamook County Food/Clothing Bank PO Box 162, Wheeler, Oregon 97147 open every Tuesday, 12-3 Cash donations, food donations, no home canned food, and clothing donations. One year I went to Good Will and purchased clothing like what they wanted and gave to clothing bank.
Meals for Seniors, Inc. , PO Box 852, Rockaway Beach, Oregon 97136 serving meals Monday, Wednesday, & Friday, noon to 1 PM
Senior Meals in Nehalem, PO Box 156, Nehalem, Oregon 97131 Tuesday and Thursday, 11:30-12:30
Rockaway Beach Lions, PO Box 611, Rockaway Beach, Or. 97136 Lions will be donating dinners at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Thank you one and all for helping with this project. Best, Patty
