Hello Writing Friends!

I am leading a new writing critique group in Astoria, Oregon at the Netel Grange, which is a beautifully maintained grange just outside Astoria. Meetings are on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month at 11am. All genres. All levels. Positive feedback only.

A little about me:
My name is Ann Ornie. I’m a typewriter poet and author of speculative fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. I am certified in the Amherst Method of facilitating and have been leading writing workshops/classes for about four years.

We have a ton of room to grow at this location and would love more people to join us! The next meeting is Tuesday the 26th at 11am!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! Feel free to share this with others!

Warmly,
Ann Ornie

North County Resistance

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Dear Friends,

As many of you know this past week the IRS agreed to drop all pending probes of Trump over whether he’s paid his fair share of taxes. I am getting this information from OPB. There seems to be one way for the IRS to tax all Americans and another way for the IRS to tax Trump. We do hope challenges to this finding by the DOJ are successful.

Just as successful as we found the North County Resistance found itself with over 50 Protesters in Nehalem this past Saturday. And, we’ve never had so many people waving, clapping their hands, and giving us the thumbs up when they drive by. Yes, we had new signs and will have more this next week, I’m sure. Below are sign ideas people sent to me.

IKEA has better Cabinets
“America, Leave Your Abusive Ex.”
“Love Has No Borders.”
“Fight Ignorance, Not Immigrants.”
“DEMOCRACY NEEDS ALL OF US”
“KINDNESS IS PATRIOTIC”
“WE THE PEOPLE MEANS EVERYONE”
“HOPE IS LOUDER THAN HATE”
“PROTECT TRUTH • PROTECT DEMOCRACY”
And a few more short-format ideas that fit well on 24″ x 12″ signs:

“LISTEN TO EACH OTHER”
“COUNTRY OVER CHAOS”
“UNITY OVER DIVISION”
“FACTS MATTER”
“LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR”
“COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS”
“PEACEFUL PEOPLE • POWERFUL VOICES”
“STAND UP WITH KINDNESS”
“DEFEND FREEDOM”
“MAKE AMERICA KIND AGAIN”

Yes, we are encouraged by all your thoughts. Thank you to people who came from outside our area to join us. People who keep their protest signs in their cars and stop at protests in different towns as they come across them. Thanks to the Frog and their family for joining us! Always a treat. Thanks for the lemon bars and coffee. Thanks to all 50 plus who joined us in the protest. Thanks for the people driving and walking by telling us to keep up this protest work. Thanks to the people who remind us we live in this great community where we strive to take care of our neighbors. As protesters, we are not giving up. Trump is ruining our country, chipping away, bit by bit. We need to take down those people who are allowing this to happen. Let’s take a look at the people Trump has surrounded himself with in order to get away with him being the judge and jury. Our lives will probably never be the same but perhaps we can help future generations.

Thanks,
Patty

Teacher and Woodworker Relocating – in need of housing

Submitted By: ms.cholton@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hi North Coast!
We are Courtney (34) and John (45). We are hardworking professionals relocating to the area and are looking for a home to rent. I’ve accepted a job at Fire Mountain School and will start in July. John is a carpenter, property caretaker, and woodworker artist.

Ideally we would like to find a home with a garage and yard space that is cat friendly. We have two indoor/outdoor mouser cats.

We are reasonable and respectful, have excellent credit, and have great references.

We currently live in a rural coastal community and understand the challenges and joys of living this lifestyle.

If you’re open to renting to us, we would love to talk more!
You can reach me at 415-571-4575

We look forward to being part of the community!
– Courtney and John

HELP! United Paws Seeks Foster Volunteers

Submitted By: Website@unitedpaws.org – Click to email about this post
United Paws always needs foster volunteers. This is how we have helped thousands of kittens and cats get a second chance. For more than 20 years, United Paws has depended on compassionate Volunteer Fosters who are willing to offer the security of their homes and the warmth of their love to animals who have been abandoned, lost, or born without a home. FOSTER HOMES SAVE LIVES!

United Paws provides ongoing support to Volunteer Fosters, providing all necessary supplies, and all needed veterinary care. Experienced Foster Mentors are available daily to assist Fosters with any questions, as well as educational help.

With limited Tillamook County animal resources available, the calls to United Paws for help are increasing, overwhelming at times, and we need more Foster Volunteers to help us provide safe and loving shelter for abandoned cats and kittens. Sadly, we can only help a fraction of the animals in need because we need more Foster Volunteers.  If you are willing to temporarily open up your home to a cat(s) or kittens in need, please contact us at volunteer@unitedpaws.org or 503 842-5663 for more information.
