Saturday’s WASH Class – 3/14.

Submitted By: mavbeach@yahoo.com – Click to email about this post
My husband and I attended Saturday’s Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay WASH Class – in February and it was excellent!! We had attended it 10 years ago and thought we had everything but we learned new information and updated our supplies!! Most importantly, we learned so much about the movement of the tectonic plates and the potential this has on our existence here at the coast and a future tsunami! The information was superbly presented and extremely comprehensive!! Don’t miss this opportunity to learn the latest information!!! It is one of the very best presentations we have ever attended!!

WaSH Class 3/14 – This Saturday! 10:00AM to 12:30pm

Submitted By: WaSH@evcnb.org – Click to email about this post
We live on the beautiful Oregon coast with beaches, mountains, rivers. It’s also a beautiful coast with an active geographical plate, the Juan de Fuca, which subducts under the North American plate. When will it slip? We don’t know when, but we know it will.

Have you thought about how you will care for yourself, your family, and help care for your community? Do you have a plan?

The EVCNB WaSH (water/sanitation/hygiene) 2.5 hr. class offers valuable and applicable information, which will support your planning for natural disasters and weather events.

Register for a class session at EVCNB.ORG – Events & Trainings. The March 14th class is coming up soon. It would be great to have more people attend as more people stimulates more discussion, which benefits all who attend. So, get registered!

Already attended a class and need a Refresher? Attend for free! Find info on the registration page.

White Clover Grange tree grafting workshop on Saturday March 28th

Submitted By: barbaraandchuck@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Save the date for the White Clover Grange tree grafting workshop on Saturday March 28th from 1-4. We will be grafting heritage apples and some pears.

Grafting is an art and allows us to grow a genetic replica of a living fruit tree. We have some amazing old trees growing in the area and want to keep them alive for generations to come!

If you’re interested in grafting a copy of your own tree (or a friend or neighbor’s), now’s the time to collect scion wood. Scions are long straight twigs about the size of a pencil or a little larger. Cut them with sharp pruners and store them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator until the workshop. We will also have scions from local heritage apple trees to share.

Each workshop participant will have the opportunity to learn how to graft and to take home a tree for their own garden or orchard. Suggested donation is $10-25

To sign up for the workshop, contact Jennifer Childress with the White Clover Grange.

On Saturday, March 14, NVHS will present Capt. Daniel Marvin. Capt. Dan captained throughout his career and has a fascination with all things related to sailing the waters of the Pacific Northwest.

His own investigation has drawn different conclusions and his findings throw a new light on the responsibility for the greatest loss of life on the Oregon coast. Come join us at NCRD’s Performing Arts Center. $10 at the door.
