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.







To help us keep a loose head count for supplies, text Hannah at (503) 457-7475 if you plan on attending.
Hope to see you there!

‘THE HOLIDAY CHANNEL CHRISTMAS MOVIE WONDERTHON’
OPENS THIS COMING FRIDAY, 12/05/25
DON’T MISS THE HOLIDAY COMEDY OF THE SEASON!
NINE SHOWS ONLY, LIVE ON STAGE, 12/05/25 – 12/21/25
RESERVE YOUR SEATS NOW!
riverbendplayers.ludus.com/index.php
MEET THE CAST: PATRICK CONNER and ISAAC BERTRAND
Patrick Conner:
Patrick, the multi-talented force behind the set design for this and many previous shows, is no stranger to wearing two theater hats. He did it last June for SORDID LIVES as Brother Boy and is doing it again. Locals might recognize him and his husband, Frank, as the owners of Wanda’s Cafe + Bakery. They call Manzanita home with their two young daughters and dog, Jingle.
Isaac Bertrand:
Isaac, originally from Kansas City, relocated to Rockaway Beach last year with his wife, two dogs, and a cat. He works remotely in the challenging world of IT. Off the clock, he keeps busy with cooking, reading, birdwatching, and cultivating his houseplant collection. Thanks to his wife’s nudge, he is thrilled to be making his stage debut in this exciting production!
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.

The cover of the Giving Guide features the artwork from a young local artist – Morgandy Cruse, that captures how each one of us can plant seeds of love through giving of funds, time and attention.
All we need is love
Fulcrum Community Resources and the Tillamook County Pioneer are pleased to present this 9th annual publication, to provide information and encouragement to support these vitally important organizations. Each hour and dollar given is precious and important and produces a harvest of love.
We are all gardeners in this thing called life, and we leave the “harvest” of our words, actions and demeanor in our wake, wherever we go. So, let’s all Sow the Seeds of Love! In whatever way calls to you — be it kind words, a hand up or out, a smile, a meditation, speaking up for someone who can’t, or any random act of kindness, let’s care for each other. Close your eyes for a moment, if you will, and imagine what the power of love can do. As often as possible present with love.
Our local nonprofits and service organizations have been sowing the seeds of love for years. And the time is now. Spread love with your money and time to help guarantee that everyone is safe, fed, housed, has adequate health care, access to beauty and education. Your generosity is needed and appreciated more than ever!
By making your year-end giving donations locally, you keep your money circulating here at home. You are adding your care, compassion and hope so our organizations can function powerfully. The time that you give volunteering adds another rich layer of care, compassion and hope.
Our organizations impact all aspects of our lives, from health and wellness, sustainability, environmental stewardship, conservation, food security, housing, universal access, women’s issues, children’s well-being, animal welfare, education, safety, disaster relief, community preparedness, and arts and culture. They create a strong, vibrant and resilient community. They collaborate and form partnerships which build a culture of efficiency, cooperation and communication. They provide jobs, a trained and inclusive workforce, volunteer opportunities, internships, and training. They give us opportunities to connect, heal, play and hope. And they need our support to continue to make a difference!
Thank you to all those who have donated, discovered and volunteered in past years!
Included in the Guide are paid profiles of nearly 40 organizations, and a free listing of contact information for 129 organizations providing services, resources and support that improve the quality of life for everyone in our community. Many organizations do not have the budget for a profile, which covers the cost of printing and mailing, so we include at the back of the Guide this list of most of the nonprofits and charitable organizations in the county. This free listing is available to any Tillamook County nonprofit or service organization.
The links to detailed directories are posted on northcoastbbq.com on the local resources page.
We welcome your feedback, comments and suggestions. We especially want to hear from you if you don’t see your favorite group in the free listing. Email barbaraandchuck@nehalemtel.net with your comments and/or information about an organization.
Fulcrum Community Resources’ mission is to foster the transition of the Nehalem Bay community to a sustainable future. Our volunteer group initiates and coordinates local programs in north Tillamook County. We also sponsor others’ projects that fit with our mission and goals. We see Fulcrum, not as a hub, but as an enabling node – one of many groups locally who are organizing and creating projects. Our guiding philosophy is that the most effective and innovative projects are initiated at the grassroots community level. www.fulcrumresources.org

Dear Folks,
In these challenging times, it is more important than ever that we unite and make our voices heard. By actively participating in local actions, we demonstrate our solidarity and send a clear message to our leaders: we expect accountability and meaningful change.
Join Us for the Weekly Protest
The North County Resistance invites you to join us in Nehalem tomorrow, Saturday, between noon and 2 PM, for our weekly protest. This event is a response to concerns about how our Federal Government is treating our Democracy. Many Americans feel helpless, and solutions seem out of reach as long as our political representatives refuse to stand up for what is right.
What You Need to Know
• Date and Time: Tomorrow, Saturday, between 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM
• Location: Nehalem
• Dress: Please dress warmly for the weather.
• What to Bring: Signs to express your views and chairs if you need them.
The Importance of Participation
Your presence matters. We hope everyone who sees us will be inspired to join in future protests. We encourage people of all ages to attend and stand together. Failing to stand up now could lead to even more problems for generations to come.
Please support our local business who have done so much to help those in need in our communities. Support those businesses who have food boxes you can put canned and other non-perishable good in. Clean out those clothes closets and get rid of things you no longer wear-or don’t fit you. Old clothes, new clothes, work clothes, and dress up clothes for men, woman, and children are greatly needed now. Start thinking now about those kids who are going to be off for two weeks over Christmas and not have breakfasts or lunches available to them from the school.
Here are the addresses you need to help these programs:
Nehalem Bay Community Services, PO Box 232, Nehalem, Oregon 97131. This is located at the Methodist Church in Nehalem. They are open on Monday, Friday, and Saturday from 10 AM t0 2 PM. Also Wednesday from 1 PM to 5 PM. Senior lunches are Tuesday and Thursday.
The North County Food Bank, PO Box 162, Wheeler, Oregon, 97147.
Also the Neah-Kah-Nie School District Family Resource Center, PO Box 28, Rockaway Beach, Oregon, 97136. (As supported they will supply food on weekends and over Christmas Break.
Thank you all for caring for our community.
Best,
Patty
