Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: jwmerc@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hi folks – the month is really scooting by – and I will only have one more chance before the holiday to DELIVER to home-or-office – this will be on TUESDAY December 17th – in the early afternoon hours. On board will be the three-variety raw honey “samplers” (see picture) which are $29 each – two for $55 or you can take FOUR for $100 on this trip only – they’re a convenient/delicious/awesome gift to hand off – or ship. I will also have quarts of the raw blackberry honey collected from the Blodgett area of the coast range – $29 each. Real maple syrup in GLASS package are $32 per quart – and the white “jug” style (BPA-free plastic) are $28 each. Holy Kakow! handmade chocolate sauce from Sisters are two-for-$15 – quite wholesome and could be a great ‘stocking stuffer’. If there are other raw honeys that you have been a fan of in the past please let me know – I can also bring some pints of COMB honey – $22 each.

Artistic Painter for Hire

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Custom Murals – Indoor and Outdoor
Custom Painted Furniture and Cabinets
Unique projects welcome!

Have you dreamed of seeing a splash of color or a beautiful image on your building, fence, barn, or even chicken coop? Would you like to make a special space in your home or business stand out with a unique wall mural? Maybe you’d like to transform your kitchen cabinets or a vanity with a hand-painted design? Or maybe you have something else in mind? I’d love to help you bring your ideas to life!

Contact me to discuss your vision or just to learn more about the process – initial consultations are free.

Contact: Rachel Zakrasek, Artist
Email: rachel.zakrasek.art@gmail.com

About the artist: Hi, my name is Rachel and I’m an artist based in Tillamook, OR. I love working on creative projects of all kinds. When it comes to painting, I particularly enjoy the process of embellishing an existing surface – whether a building, wall, door or piece of furniture. I find that adding art to the spaces we inhabit and the objects we use every day can make us feel more at home, reinforce our sense of place, identity, and belonging, bring a smile to our faces, lift the spirits, and inspire us. Whatever art does for you, I would love to help you experience that more in your day-to-day life.

But what will it cost?
Typically projects will fall in the range of $15-$20/sqft, however the rate can depend on a number of factors, including design complexity, location, and scale; whether I need to use a ladder or scaffolding, and the extent of surface preparation required. I will determine the proposed rate after an initial consultation on your project.

IT’S TIME RIGHT NOW!

It’s time to start talking with me about designing a personal, tailor-made safari for you, your family, and your friends in 2025.
Custom Kenya Safaris can make your safari dream come true at an affordable price. Decide the length of your trip and how many people will be going. You’ll stay in 4 to 5 star lodges, have a private guide and driver, and visit unique landscapes. And, of course, you’ll see magnificent herds of exotic animals including the “African Big Five” on daily game drives.
Kenya and Tanzania safaris experience peak numbers of visitors in July and August during the Great Migration. Accommodations fill up quickly so now is the time to meet with me and plan your private safari.
An African game-viewing safari is a spectacular travel experience and is easier and more affordable than you probably think.
The average cost for a 12-day Custom Kenya Safari for 4 people traveling next July is $5850 per person all-inclusive. Airfare to Africa is separate and not included in this price. I encourage you to check group tour prices online—you’ll discover that a Custom Kenya Safari is the best price you’ll find. I’m happy to give you a quote for more or fewer people, a longer or shorter trip, or one that includes both Kenya and Tanzania.
Don’t delay. Contact me soon.

Investing in yourself and in wellness care is one of the best things we can do. Our bodies are our God Gifted Temples. They are worthy of the best care.

10% of all services purchased through this month (including gift cards) will be used to purchase socks, slippers, gloves and healthy food for adults and kids in need.

Having our feet and hands taken care of shouldn’t be underestimated. It makes a world of difference in the health of the entire body.

Helping Hands Opening 40 More Beds in Shelter

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: b.verrett@helpinghandsreentry.org – Click to email about this post
Helping Hands Reentry Outreach Centers to Open 40 More Beds in Tillamook County.
The Tillamook Hope Center at the Jason Gooding Campus will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on December 10, 2024 to celebrate the expansion and give community partners a tour.
As the homelessness crisis in Oregon continues to grow, Helping Hands Reentry Outreach Centers is about to expand its capacity to serve the people who need it most with an additional forty beds in Tillamook County. The Tillamook Hope Center has been operating on the first floor of the Tillamook Naval Headquarters Building since 2015. Thanks to a partnership with Columbia Pacific CCO, Helping Hands was able to renovate the second floor to add an additional forty beds, while still maintaining the historic integrity of the building. On December 10, 2024 at 12:00pm, Helping Hands will be officially opening the addition and will have times for the members of the public to come and tour the facility at 1:30pm and 2:30pm.
Key Highlights about the Tillamook Hope Center:
In 2023, 18,778 meals were served here.
Helping Hands is on track to serve more individuals in 2024 than in 2023.
52% of people staying at the Tillamook Hope Center last year were chronically unhoused.
The fastest growing populations served are mothers with children and senior citizens.

The Grand Opening of the expansion of the Tillamook Hope Center will be an opportunity to learn more about what services and resources are available for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in the community. Alan Evans, Founder & President, Mike Davis (CEO), will be available to answer questions.
Please contact Bethany Verrett, Communications Manager, at b.verrette@helpinghandsrenetry.org, 458-278-9916 with any questions about the event.
###
Helping Hands Reentry Outreach Centers was founded in 2002 by Alan Evans, after over two decades of living on the streets. He was removed from an abusive home and sent to foster care at age 11, but when his circumstances didn’t improve, he ran away and was homeless and addicted by age 13. The mission of Helping Hands is to provide HOPE and CARE through personal, trauma-informed programs to individuals experiencing homelessness. The mission of Helping Hands is to provide a helping hand to a sustainable life through Resources, Recovery, and Reentry.  Our programs are Trauma-Informed, Data-Driven, and Person-Centered; we take the time to learn each individual’s story and help connect them to the appropriate local resources and services to meet their unique needs. Learn more about our work at helpinghandsreentry.org.

As a husband, father of two, owner of Wanda’s Cafe + Bakery, President of the Riverbend Players’ board of directors, 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 sixth production following the smash hit THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG, which he directed last June.
