Louise Christianson came to our area in 1984.

Maybe you met her selling raffle tickets, working at the Clothing Bank, or at an art event, maybe at CART’M or the recycle centers. She was very involved in different aspects of our community.

Louise wants us to have a Party for her – she left the funds for this – so that is what is happening:

January 10th, 3:00-6:00 pm
at NCRD in the kitchen/gallery/fireside room

Join Conscious
aging and Community Connections, Monday, January 12, from 2pm – 4pm for a fun session that will start your year envisioning your future dreams and plans. Learn the power and magic of Treasure Maps or Vision Boards, whatever you call them.
Kathie Hightower will share information on how these fun tools can move you towards what you want.
Bring magazines to cut images/words/phrases from. Bring scissors, glue, magazine pictures and poster board. We will have some supplies available, including a big box of magazines, but bring what you have. After a short intro session, we’ll cut and paste to our hearts’ desires, creating collages for our future. At the end, those who choose will share their boards with the group (which strengthens the magic of them.)

Conscious Aging and Community Connections is a Community Use Program of the Pine Grove Community House.
Your $5 donation at the door supports the Pine Grove Community House.

We have a couple of special musical guests joining the party! Help us welcome 2026 by staying up late and dancing your socks off at the Tie Breaker in Rockaway Beach! What better way to start a new year than to have fun with all your friends and get some exercise while you’re at it! We know that for some of you it’s past your bedtime, but once a year you can take a nap and stay up, and act up just like it’s 1999!

POLAR PLUNGE 2026

The annual Polar Plunge is back!
New Year’s Day at 11:00 AM at Neahkahnie Beach
HOWEVER: This year, conditions are a bit different, so please read the following carefully.

Important Information for your safety:

KING TIDES: Water level is expected to reach 9.6 ft at plunge time. Please be aware!

BEACH TERRAIN: There will be logs and debris along the shore and floating in the water as the waves come in!

BONFIRE: No beach fire will be available this year, as any areas are too close to dune grass.

ACESS: Entry will most likely be from the road, as usable beach space may be limited.

Safety Reminder:
Participation carries inherent risks. Please take personal responsibility for your safety and of those around you!
Despite these precautions, the plunge is a fun and invigorating way to kick off the New Year! Come prepared, stay safe, and enjoy the experience.

“I’m sharing this out of concern to help keep everyone safe.”
P.S. YOU MAY WANT TO WAIT AND DO IT LATER IN THE DAY, IT WILL STILL COUNT 🙂

Be well,

End of 2025 Threshold Dance

We’ve just passed the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year. Come dance the energy of crossing a threshold. We are nearing the end of the Year of the Snake (Chinese astrology). Come dance the energy of a snake shedding its skin. We are nearing the end of a “9” year (Numerology 2+0+2+5) -known as a year of completion. Come dance the energy of going through a portal. What wants to, needs to, demands to, be left behind? The energy of endings, of walking through doorways that you can no longer return through, of karmic closure, of releasing, of sloughing off, of moving forward into your truest self and your truest purpose is everywhere right now. I am feeling this SO INTENSELY. You? Let us come together and help move it along. Let’s find what is stuck or numb or congealed in our bodies and loosen it, return it to flow and let it go. We are right on time.

See you on Sunday 12/28 at 11am at the White Cover Grange. Doors open at 10:30.
