Why Online Forums for MooVoter?

Submitted By: moovoter@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hello.

We hope this message finds you well.

We sent an email inviting candidates to some online forums and have not heard back from some of them. The dates for the forums are fast approaching and we want to be sure they have every opportunity to attend if they so choose.

Some candidates have asked why these events are online and we wanted to give an answer should that detail be a major part of the decision to participate.

Having online forums is really about access. The online option provides greater access to more people.

Online forums make the event easy to attend for candidates AND voters alike. In addition, we will record the sessions and post them to a candidate’s MooVoter thread and on the Pioneer.

We will also share them across social media to a collective audience of 50,000 local Facebook community group members in every corner of the county. Once the links are publicly available they can continue to be shared by any individual or entity.

Viewers also have the ability to view the session at their convenience in whole or in parts. They can also forward over portions that they aren’t interested in, or repeat sections that they want to hear again.

The MooVoter mission is to engage and empower voters, so voters can vote with confidence, and share their knowledge with others. The online forum is the superior solution toward the ultimate goal of increasing voter turnout. A live event will reach perhaps 50 voters at best. An online forum will reach ten times that at a minimum. Most likely, more.

All things being equal, the choice for MooVoter and the Pioneer to do the forums online will continue.

Details and RSVP to each event are listed on our FB page www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091843375086 or on facebook.com/groups/moovoter

We hope to see you online.

Thanks!

Meet Up Sunday at The Roastery to Discuss Bees, Birds & The Bus

Submitted By: leverettefortctd@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hello!

This is a reminder that I’ll be at The Roastery in Rockaway this Sunday, April 30th, 2023 from 10am -11am sipping on some of their delicious coffee and hoping friends and neighbors will drop by for a chat on three things I’m passionate about right now Bees, Birds, and the Bus.

My name is Mary Leverette and I am an avid birder. The birding year in Tillamook County is full of beautiful birds — some 450 species of birds have been sighted along our coastline — and we are fortunate to have great places to watch them! Some of my favorite winter visitors are Varied Thrushes and Chestnut-backed Chickadees. Both of these birds visit my feeder tray, starting usually in mid-October and stay until April. I love chatting about birds and would love to share my knowledge with any bird enthusiasts or curious observers.

I am also a novice bee keeper. In Spring 2022, I took a leap of faith and started keeping honey bees. This is something I have thought about doing for decades. I saw an advertisement on the outside bulletin board at the Tillamook Farm Store with a date for a ‘introduction to beekeeping’ group. I spent one Saturday morning at a class sponsored by the Tillamook Beekeepers Association (TBA) and came away hooked! Let’s learn together!

I am also a candidate for Tillamook County Transportation District in the upcoming election. I want to hear suggestions, concerns, wishes, anything you wish to offer. As an elected representative my job will be to carry your message and fulfill on the promise of the district that your tax dollars pay for. I am a firm believer in collaboration.

Like the bees, and the birds, and all of nature, we will come up with the most elegant solutions when we work together.

Please join me the Sunday, April 30th at 10am at the Roastery in Rockaway.

The Roastery is at 165 S Miller Rockaway. Great coffee and delicious baked goods, plus they are just a great new addition to the community. Let’s support them.

Katelyn Convery- Full Band Album Release Show

Submitted By: baycityartscenter@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Saturday June 3rd at 7pm, join us at BCAC for Katelyn Convery’s full band album release show!

With a buttery, breathless roar over a ferocious acoustic guitar, singer-songwriter Katelyn Convery’s achingly honest, alternative rock/pop tones soothe while begging deeper questions. From busking solo-acoustic in Barcelona and Seoul, to recording an electronic-house album in Cape Town, the many places she’s called “home” reveal themselves in her music with unexpected chord changes and guitar-picked flourishes. Born and raised in Oregon, her truest home resides in the song she writes.

Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door. Doors open at 6:30pm. Get your tickets at the following link: checkout.square.site/buy/TGFPKKS7GHRTNI6NOYZ7642C
