REPAIR CAFE IS ON THE ROAD – A REPAIR ROADSHOW ?
Heart of Cartm encourages reusing and repairing. At a Repair Cafe, expert fixers work together to keep your valuable resources out of the landfill. This month’s Repair Cafe will be held at NCRD on January 13th, 3-5pm. (If weather conditions allow!)
If you have an item in need of repair, please sign up. www.heartofcartm.org/repaircafe
We are currently seeking a stable place in North Tillamook County to host 1-2 monthly Repair Cafes. Ideally, this would also be a safe space to leave 5 tables and a few shelves of tools. Please reach out to Jessi, if you have connections to such a place.

Don’t worry About Your Fur Babies!!!
I want to give a huge shout out to Manzanita’s legendary ‘dog whisperer’ Ginger Matyas.
We have used her services several times while away from home & we all know the stress of leaving them behind. Ginger not only took excellent care while visiting our 3 cats several times a day to feed, empty litter boxes but the play time was unique. She brought in crepe paper, sprinkled with catnip, lots of kitty toys & actively played & stimulated them. The follow up videos she sent to us were awesome as one of our cats whom is antisocial to begin with, was chasing around through the scattered papers, jumping in the air after flying feathers & sitting on her lap. Such a welcoming site when so far away from home. Everything was cleaned & vacuumed before our return as if nothing had taken place. She did ask first if this was ok! They were very happy babies during our absence!
Equally our dogs were also taken care of by Ginger over the holidays & it’s not about just walking them that amazed us with her services, she actively engages them in physical play time, fun exercise & healthy treats.
Ginger has massive compassion & knowledge in this industry so don’t miss out on asking her about any concerns, she has you covered!
I also just added her as an additional service to our Airbnb rental & it has had tremendous support from visiting guests! Thank you Ginger for all you do for our pets in our small community. Grateful

Plastic Recycling Project Paused
Friends of NCRD (North County Recreation District) regrets that we must stop our plastic recycling project until we can recruit more volunteers to bag, weigh, and deliver the plastic to Fred Meyer’s in Tillamook.
Meanwhile, you may not be aware that all Fred Meyer’s and Safeway stores have collection bins for soft film plastic so you will be able to take your small bag of bags there when you shop.
Friends of NCRD started this project in cooperation with the Trex Company several years ago. For each 500 pounds of soft film plastic collected and delivered for recycling, the company provided us, as a non-profit organization, an outdoor bench. To date, we have received and installed 4 benches a at NCRD and we have also earned a fifth bench not yet ordered. Thanks to all who have participated!
If you are interested in helping maintain the plastic recycling project, please contact Gail Young, Friends of NCRD board Secretary. gailmyoung@mac.com
