Rainy Day Village Picnic and Town Hall in the Park

Please join us this Saturday, July 9th at 11:00 at Nehalem City Park, 12705 Hugo Street, for a Town Hall and Picnic. Let’s get together to eat, socialize, and talk about the future of Rainy Day Village. Bring a picnic and a chair or a blanket and visit with old friends and make some new ones. Treats provided! At 12:00 there will be a conversation about where Rainy Day Village can go from here.

And Save the Date: July 16th will be a follow up meeting at 2:00 at the same place: Nehalem City Park (and with more treats!) Come and help plan the future of Rainy Day Village in more detail.

Rainy Day Village (RDV) is part of the Village Movement which started in Boston over 20 years ago to create a new model for aging and ways to support older adults who desire to remain in their homes, allowing them to stay active and engaged in their communities. A local group began meeting in 2017 to discuss how this movement might support and enrich lives on the northern Oregon coast. We soon realized that rather than focus efforts on creating a local non-profit, it would be advantageous to join an existing village organization. In early 2019, RDV became the 11th village under Villages Northwest, “hub and spoke” model operating in the Portland area. As a spoke we have access to the considerable experience of Villages NW to help build RDV. For more about Villages NW go to www.villagesnw.org. For more information about the Village Movement go to Village to Village Network www.vtvnetwork.org

Robust efforts were made to build Rainy Day Village by constructing the foundation that would be needed to have volunteers provide services for paying members and even more importantly to create a vibrant network of community connections: people living their lives with pride, grace and independence in safe, healthy and socially connected ways. The 20 year history of the Village movement has shown that the relationships built among villagers has added depth and meaning to people’s lives way beyond the help they receive with daily chores.

RDV was poised to open with members and volunteers in May 2020. Unfortunately, the launch date has been postponed indefinitely, due to COVID. Since the start of the pandemic RDV has been in a holding pattern.

The Steering Committee has decided it’s time to assess where we are going and hope that interested parties will attend one or both of the upcoming meetings to help plan the future of Rainy Day Village on the North Oregon Coast.

Rainy Day Village is a member of The Villages NW non-profit Hub and Spoke Network

Submitted By: annornie@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I started writing my first book, Summoning Spruce when I was living in Wheeler in 2014. During the years it took to write, I workshopped with visiting authors at The Hoffman Center and enrolled in Writing Alive workshops facilitated by Dana Cunningham Anderson at the former Center for the Contemplative Arts location.

I wanted to share that my book, Summoning Spruce, is now available for sale online (Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, ect), at Beach Books in Seaside, and at Forager’s in Downtown Astoria.
You can also order copies at Cloud and Leaf or directly from my website: www.annornie.com

Nehalem Bay Draft Transportation System Plan Survey Deadline this Tuesday July 5

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: sabots.trailer_0j@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
If you want to weigh in about the ODOT proposals (e.g. a laughable proposed roundabout in Nehalem being a prime example), please consider taking 10 minutes to complete the TSP survey (link below) by Tuesday. For our three North Coast towns, there are important insights we can give for these future proposals. For Nehalem, the example above is N7b – US 101 & 7TH STREET INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS: Construct intersection improvements, likely a mini-roundabout, to provide a long-term solution to improve…

For Manzanita, an example from the TSP list is Classic Street, our narrow unimproved connection between downtown and park where pedestrians, RVs, cars and bicycles compete on a serpentine route with a precipitous drop-off to the west (and downslope a proposed hotel proposal recently rejected by the Planning Committee) and no guard rail or pedestrian walkway. If you live on Dorcas, in the Cottages, in the Highlands or near the golf course, you are the most affected for the increased traffic competition, and this is your earliest opportunity to give some cogent guidance to ODOT.
And, of course, if you happen to be on a city commission in N W or M, here’s a great chance to weigh in on what is best for your town.

Here’s the example from the map: M09, M10 – CLASSIC STREET BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN ENHANCEMENTS: Enhance Classic Street to provide space for people walking and biking and create a connection from downtown core to planned multimodal facilities. Treatments could include constructing consistent shoulders to provide space for people walking and adding arrows to indicate that bicyclists should use the travel lane.

These are “early days” for the TSP, but the more people comment, the more that our collective interest is shown in this survey will help guide the success of future street improvements.

8 ft. x 4 ft. white boards (3)

Do you remember hashing out great ideas out on a white board?

Computers are fantastic, but they can’t compare to the collaborative art of sharing, creating, and editing on a white board.

These three come infused with the imagining of companies and projects that have literally changed the world we live in.

Industry leaders in the internet, politics, music, art, bio-fuels, entertainment, and much more have jotted their ideas here.

There’s no evidence, course. That is the magic of the white board. You’ll just have to pick up a white board marker and feel it for yourself.

$125 each
all three for $300

Pick up on Miami Foley across from Peerless Loop
