Heart of CARTM and Tillamook County Solid Waste are excited to launch a new series of quarterly community conversations on Waste Solutions and Recycling Practices! These events will give you the latest updates on recycling, waste reduction, and sustainability while offering opportunities to ask questions, connect with local experts, and learn how you can make a difference.
Why now? With new recycling laws (RMA legislation) taking shape and growing interest in the Tillamook County Master Recyclers program, it’s the perfect time for public conversation about sustainable waste management.
Whether you’re a recycling enthusiast or just curious about how recycling works, these events are for YOU. Let’s come together, learn, and share ideas to reduce waste and improve recycling in Tillamook County.
Please join us for Mocktails with Master Recyclers
North County Recreation District, Nehalem
Thursday, Dec 19th, 5:00 – 6:30pm.
This will be a free event to:
-Celebrate the accomplishments of our newest Master Recycler graduates.
-Get a first look at our professionally made promotional video by Ignite Cinema.
-Ask the experts recycling questions and get clear, reliable answers.
-Sip on delicious mocktails while learning about state and local recycling initiatives.
The Master Recylers program is an initiative of the Tillamook County Solid Waste Department with a mission to “educate our community on the environmental impacts of our daily decisions and to encourage people to rethink, reduce, repair, repurpose, and then recycle.” Heart of Cartm is caring for this program by updating the coursework, organizing the annual classes and seeking ongoing partnerships for volunteer projects. Funding for this program has been provided by Oregon Community Foundation – Bottle Drop Fund and Tillamook Coast Visitors Association.
We’re hardwired for dance, and cave art suggests we’ve been dancing for as far back as 70,000 years ago. Even three-week old babies will bounce and sync up their movements to a beat.

Creative and reflective journaling isn’t just for “writers.” This is for everyone. The simple act of writing helps unlock parts of the subconscious, and is an incredible tool for healing and growth.
Celebrate the solstice by going inward with me. As we approach the longest night of the year, we’ll gather in a cozy space with blankets, candles, tea, and snacks. Together, we’ll move through exercises to help you tap into your inner world and cultivate a personal writing practice.
What to Expect:
– A quiet, relaxing atmosphere to unwind and reflect.
– Guided writing prompts to help your thoughts flow freely.
– Time to share insights and intentions for the year ahead
– Takeaway tools to support a reflective writing practice at home.

Although Lane has been reading cards since 1995, the paintings in Lane’s Greenwitch Tarot were not done with a deck in mind. Rather they were created over the past 30 years of her own process and journey. She gives readings in her booth all summer at the Manzanita Farmer’s Market as well as longer in depth readings at her home.
Lane has lived in the community almost 50 years and helped start a number of local institutions including Fire Mountain School, CARTM Recycling, Lower Nehalem Community Trust, NeahCasa and Fulcrum Community Resources. More information about her, the deck and her paintings can be found on her website lanedemoll.com.
Offering: Death Cafe (in person)
Location – NEHALEM: North Coast Recreation District (Fireplace Room)
Registration (Recommended): www.northcoasteolcollective.com/events-one/virtual-death-cafe-1-m8x48-2klen-rtjfl-m8k7x-ph4rt-t44nx-myjar-87jpc-gh555-wx8ar
Facilitator: Margo Lalich, MPH, RN, Co-Founder – North Coast EOL Collective
Making Visible the Invisible: A Community Conversation about Death and Dying. Applying the values of Acceptance, Belonging, Connection, and Legacy, Death Cafe is a co-generational gathering that aims to create a comfortable and open space for people to gather and discuss topics related to death, dying, and mortality. It provides a platform for individuals to share their thoughts, fears, and experiences surrounding death in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. Adhering to Death Cafe’s mission, participation is free, although contributions to the Collective are appreciated. Death Cafe meets in person in Nehalem and Seaside every month.
Please consider attending one final Rockaway Beach City Council meeting regarding this issue on Wednesday, December 11 at 6:00 p.m. At that meeting, the Council will deliberate and decide either to support the appeal of Nedonna Wave or reject it. This will be a regular agenda item and, it seems, this will be one of the first items to be decided. (In other words, it shouldn’t be necessary to sit through the whole meeting to hear the decision.) The more people who show up in person (or who watch on Zoom), the better. City Council members need to see that we are not indifferent to this development. The appeal records have now been closed; therefore, no more testimony will be accepted. However, it is still important to show support for the appeal by attending in person or by Zoom, talking with neighbors and friends, posting on social media, and writing letters to the media. City Council meetings take place at Rockaway Beach City Hall; 276 Hwy 101; Rockaway Beach, Oregon.
To attend by Zoom go to: us06web.zoom.us/j/84950026492pwd=mmfbausHKydtb87Aas6O63JJKC9BQK.1
