Drake Association Observes Nehalem Bay Anchorage
Afterwards, members gathered in Wheeler at 125 First St to erect a 12 ft. by 8 ft. banner. Additionally, various flags were raised of: a symbol of St. George, patron saint of all English Navigators and would have been displayed on Drake’s sails; a flag describing the four corners of the globe sailed during the circumnavigation; a British flag; and a flag recognizing Drake’s anchorage in Oregon.
Everyone in the tri-cities is welcome to drive by and read the banner of Drake’s land claim he called Nova Albion, an old name for England so-called by the Romans. Please do not trespass on the property.

We’ll be dancing on the beach this Thursday for this beautiful Solstice Community Gathering!
We won’t be in our usual spot, but more towards the south end of the Y. And not our usual time, but 7pm start instead.
Dance will be led by Libby at Golden Key Wellness: “I’m planning for a solstice welcoming the flame / passions ceremony with qigong for the heart and have stitched in some of the root chakra energy of ley lines into the playlist intention”
also Lane will be calling attention to the ley line and will lead a small guided thing to feel along it – both west (towards Hawaii and Japan) and southeast down towards Shasta and South America. She will also lead it after to see if we can feel how our work/play with both the labyrinth and dance effect the line on around the world.
Looking forward to celebrating and honoring connection to all

Meshuggah-Nuns! Brings Side-Splitting Laughter to the Coaster Theatre Stage this Summer
Written by Dan Goggin
DATES: June 28-September 1, 2024
TIME: All performances begin at 7:30 p.m.
TICKETS: $35 and $30. Tickets available online, at the theatre box office or by calling 503-436-1242.
The hilarious Meshuggah-Nuns! makes its home on the Coaster Theatre stage this summer. Opening Friday, June 28 and running for 27 shows through Sunday, Sept. 1.
Meshuggah-Nuns! is the fifth installment in the Nunsense series and follows the sisters of the Little Sisters of Hoboken on an all-expense paid trip on the “Faiths of All Nations” cruise. After a week at sea, the ship runs into a storm. Several people become ill, including all of the actors in the ship’s production of Fiddler on the Roof. (All except the actor playing Tevye, that is.) The captain of the ship, knowing of the sisters’ show biz savvy, requests that the sisters and Tevye put on a revue. The result: a hilarious musical celebration of Catholic and Jewish
traditions.
Meshuggah-Nuns! is directed by Patrick Lathrop and features Katherine Lacaze as Sister Mary Regina (Reverend Mother), Rhonda Warnack as Sister Mary Hubert, Rachel Stahly as Sister Robert Anne, Cathey Ryan as Sister Mary Paul (a.k.a. Amnesia), and David Sweeney as Howard Liszt.
The production crew includes Sondra Gomez (costumer), Mick Alderman (set builder/lighting
design), Juan Lira (set painter) and Nancy McCarthy (sound and light operator).
Tickets are $30 or $35; they can be purchased at the theatre box office (503-436-1242) or online at coastertheatre.com. The box office is open 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 12:30 p.m. to curtain on performance days.
