The 2025-26 Giving Guide should have arrived in your mail box by now. The theme this year is “Sowing Seeds of Love” with the cover art done by 14 year old local, Morgandy Cruse.

Please check it out and give generously–sowing your own seeds of love.

Not every organization can afford a paid profile, which pays for the production. So there is a list of contact information for all in the back.

The Giving Guide and detailed directories of the organizations can be found at www.northcoastbbq.com/local-resources/

Here are descriptions of 3 of those organizations:

MEET THE DIRECTOR: FRANK SQUILLO

As a husband, father of two, owner of Wanda’s Cafe + Bakery, President of the Riverbend Players’ board, and Vice-Chair of the Manzanita Planning Commission, Frank stays busy but always finds time for his passion, directing. He’s thrilled to be directing his seventh production, following last June’s smash hit SORDID LIVES. His next production is THE ODD COUPLE in June.

THE HOLIDAY CHANNEL CHRISTMAS MOVIE WONDERTHON, by Don Zolidis and directed by Frank Squillo, is a hilarious spoof of the Hallmark and Lifetime Channel Christmas movies.

Set in a cozy Vermont inn during Christmas time, the play follows six predictable, intertwined love stories filled with small-town charm, romantic misunderstandings, and holiday magic.

THE HOLIDAY CHANNEL CHRISTMAS MOVIE WONDERTHON comically embraces every cliché, trope, and heartwarming twist of these beloved holiday movies.

Friday and Saturday nights at 7 pm, Sunday matinees at 2 pm.

Detailed Santa Sculptures / from the “Clothtique” collection.

Submitted By: Artwithmisskaren@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I have 2 detailed Santa sculptures from the Clothtique collectible series. Both about 12” tall. One is skiing and the other sledding. Both have the original series boxes in excellent condition
I’m happy to send more photos if you like.

Great special Santa decoration to take out for the kiddos and adults to enjoy.
Asking $25.00 each.

Also two Waterford Crystal angel ornaments for $5.00 each.

I have other high end Christmas decorations but still going thru them. I just don’t decorate that much anymore so it’s better to have them in a home where little eyes and hearts can enjoy their magic.

Art in the Manzanita Library for December

Submitted By: susantone@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
NTLF Art in the Library Series features the art of Glenna Gray in the Manzanita Library for the month of December. Glenna is an artist who works in felt.  As she describes it “Wool has tiny barbs which when needle or wet felted join together, making it possible to create in 2 or 3 dimensions. Thus felt is sculptural, soft, warm, and lends itself to infinite possibilities.”  Glenna’s creations are so fluid and innovative, they look like painted watercolors.  Glenna received a Cannon Beach Arts Associations 2024 arts grant, and teaches classes in needle felting.

This series is presented by North Tillamook Library Friends.

Animal Chaplain Services now available on the North Coast!

Submitted By: Christy@cosmichealingnw.com – Click to email about this post
Hello BBQ Community-

Rev. Christy Kay here….most of you probably know me in a multitude of ways – from my extensive community service work, from Rising Hearts Studio, from my services as an Energy Healing Practitioner and Spiritual Life Coach, or in the many other various ways that I am engaged in supporting my community. But, I have also added another facet to my work fairly recently, and am delighted to begin offering new services in a new role.
I am happy to announce my ordination as a multi-faith and multi-species animal chaplain who works to promote the health and wellness of ALL living beings on their spiritual path, providing healing comfort and care.

What is Animal Chaplaincy? Animal chaplains are an emerging field of chaplaincy that tends to the needs of all living beings and species. An animal chaplain provides spiritual and emotional care and support for both animals and their human companions, often focusing on bereavement rituals and promoting animal welfare. They also connect services to those that need them.

What I offer:
Spiritual Care: spiritual guidance and support to people experiencing grief or loss related to their pets or other animals.

Rituals and Ceremonies: leading ceremonies, rituals, or habituals, to honor the lives and deaths of animals, and offer support to the bereaved – this includes Blessings and Healings.

Resource Help: connection to any resources needed for the benefit of both animals and their companions.

Compassionate Listening: I offer a safe space for people to share their feelings and experiences related to their relationship with animals.

Healing: Energetic healing sessions for companion animals, farm animals, wild animals, and humans alike to help with emotional, spiritual and physical issues.

Monthly Animal Loss Grief Support Group: Safe space to find solace in shared experience, with support, understanding and practices for healing grief, and accepting loss. Currently meeting every second Thursday of the month, 5:30 PM, at Rising Hearts Studio.

My Credentials:
Wellness Practitioner of the Year 2024/25/26 – Oregon
Ordained Animal Chaplain
Member of American Association of Veterinary Chaplains
Certified Ayurvedic Animal Wellness Consultant
Certified Animal Reiki Master Practitioner
Certified Animal Crystal Healing Practitioner
Certified Animal Sound Healer Practitioner

Testimonials:
Christy helped me to navigate the end of life and transition of my beloved dog, Ruby. I was fully immersed in my grief, and she held a compassionate space for my tears. She also assisted me with logistics, by navigating the complexity of end of life care, and acting an intermediary between me and my veterinarian, to make sure the choices I made were in the highest good of both myself and my beloved. She offered palliative care to Ruby, in the form of energy work through reiki, and sound, and with ayurvedic medicine to ease the transition when the time finally came for her to cross the rainbow bridge. Christy created and facilitated a beautiful memorial ceremony that fully captured and honored Ruby and her place in my life. We also met some weeks later, and Christy was able to relieve some of my pain through her clearing work, and by channeling messages from Ruby that only she could have given. Truly an amazing opportunity, working with Christy, and I would not have made it through this experience without the loving care she offered. I highly recommend her animal chaplaincy services. – Jan Mohr

Christy has helped me tremendously on my healing journey. The reiki/sound healing is phenomenal. She also worked with my dog who was struggling with anxiety and after one session I saw vast improvements in my dog’s well-being. Highly recommend any healing work with Christy, she is awesome!!! – Valerie Mannix

I highly recommend Christy‘s healing treatments for animals. It was a huge help to my grieving dog who was exhibiting unpredictable behaviour. – Carolyn Greenwood

Kenmore Model 158 Sewing Maching

Submitted By: seagate45@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
Kenmore Model 158 sewing machine for sale.
Tremendous value for experienced and new sewers. This is a smooth, quiet, fast machine. It has been professionally serviced and recently oiled.
Extras: Complete set of 14 cams to make decorative stitches. (Since it is not computerized, you simply switch cams in 10 seconds for various stitches) Accompanying presser feet, additional throat plate, and more.
Extra bobbins and bobbin case
Extra belt
Carrying case included.
Available for pickup in Manzanita
Why a Kenmore 158 is a good first machine 
A Kenmore model 158 is a excellent choice for a first sewing machine because they are durable, all-metal workhorses that can handle a wide variety of fabrics, especially heavy-duty ones. They are often simple to use, reliable, and easy to service, making them ideal for learning the basics without being overly complex.
 
* Durability: Made with all-metal parts, precision machined metal gearing, these machines are built to last. No plastic gears that can break over time or start to wear and affect the sewing precision of a machine.
* Made in Japan with precision parts and strict quality control.
* Power and Performance: They have powerful motors that allow them to sew through multiple layers of fabric, like denim, with strong, consistent stitches.
* Spare parts, like the motor drive belt, are readily available.
* Simplicity: While they can do many stitches with the help of cams, many models offer the essential straight and zigzag stitches for all your basic projects, making them easy to learn on.
* Repairability: Because they are older, all-metal machines, they are often easier for a home user to oil and service themselves, and parts are generally available online.
* Versatility: With the addition of different cams (depending on the model), you can create a wide range of decorative stitches, expanding your creative options. 

Many YouTube videos are available about this heavy duty 158 sewing machine.

Price is $95.00

United Paws of Tillamook

Submitted By: Website@unitedpaws.org – Click to email about this post
United Paws is urgently seeking a forever family or long-term foster for Hope & Caroline, a bonded pair of beautiful cats who have lost their home. Hope & Caroline were rescued in 2023 from life in a cramped cage. They are shy during the day, but seek love and companionship after dark. Caroline (brown tabby) is the more outgoing of the two and will happily come when wet food is served.

The pair has been cared for in a loving home and both are happy and healthy, but sadly their owner must relocate and cannot bring these beauties.

We are seeking a special family that can nurture these beauties in a safe and patient environment. A forever family would be ideal, but a long-term foster situation will also be a life-saver. To learn more, please email unitedpawshelp@gmail.com.
