Friday, December 21, 6:00 pm at the Bay City Arts Center:

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.

We can’t wait to see you there!

SAVE OUR WETLANDS! – SUPPORT THE APPEAL!
Please attend the upcoming Rockaway Beach City Council Meeting on Wednesday, December 11th at 6 pm.
City council members will be voting on whether or not to support the appeal filed by Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition against the proposed Nedonna Wave Planned Unit Development (PUD-24). During the November 20th City Council hearing, a decision was made to defer the vote until the meeting on December 11. North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection is urging all community members to attend and make it clear that we prioritize the protection of our wetlands over allowing a developer to profit at the expense of our environment.
City Council meetings take place at Rockaway Beach City Hall; 276 Hwy 101; Rockaway Beach, Oregon. To attend by Zoom, click here: us06web.zoom.us/j/84950026492…
NCCWP extends sincere thanks to all those who contributed written and oral comments in support of the appeal. We also express our gratitude to the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition and the Crag Law Center for their invaluable guidance and legal support. The Public Hearing is now officially closed, meaning no further evidence, arguments, or testimony can be submitted to the City Council. However, it is still crucial to continue supporting the appeal. We encourage you to attend the upcoming meeting on December 11th, engage in discussions with neighbors and friends, share information on social media, and write letters to the media to keep the momentum going.
