Tuesday, February 13th
Garibaldi Boathouse (1209 Bay Lane, Garibaldi)
9am-Noon: Orientation, Noon-2pm: Catered Lunch Social and Activity Demos
RSVP Using This Link

This training will include an orientation for new STEAM Coach Volunteers in the morning, followed by an optional catered lunch social and hands-on demonstrations of upcoming field trip activities.

What is the TC STEAM Partnership?
Across the county, a partnership of 20 local organizations works together to provide a variety of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics) programs to Tillamook County K-12 students. Together, this partnership offers students numerous experiential education programs, including environmental science field trips, farm-to-table school gardens, science fairs, cultural programming, research projects, professional development, and more. Each year, thousands of Tillamook County students participate in these programs, which are made possible by volunteer STEAM Coaches. In order to offer these community-enriching programs, the TC STEAM Partnership needs volunteer STEAM Coaches to fulfill a variety of roles. STEAM Coaches are people who believe all students should be able to learn about STEAM subjects through educational experiences that are hands-on and inquiry-based.

Whether it’s about the history of seal hunting in the Bering Sea or the biography of a woman who accidentally triggered a gold rush in the Klondike, author Deb Vanasse’s stories explore Alaska as much as they document the people she writes about.
Vanasse will be the guest author at the Cannon Beach Library at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 20. The free event will be hybrid; her presentation will be presented in person and online, via the library’s website, www.cannonbeachlibrary.org.
The Warrenton, Oregon author spent 36 years in Alaska, where she co-founded 49 Writers, a statewide writing center offering creative writing workshops. Vanasse has written 25 books in various genres, including nonfiction, historical fiction and children’s books; most are focused on Alaska.
Her 2022 release, Roar of the Sea, was an Oregon State Book award finalist. It tells the story of the unlikely hero who fought pirates and national governments to save Alaskan fur seals from extinction.
In 2016, Vanasse published Wealth Woman, about Kate Carmack, a Tagish woman who was a key figure in the discovery that set off the Klondike gold rush.
Vanasse enjoys seeking out hidden histories, and she likes to keep readers turning pages with characters who aren’t easily forgotten.
When she isn’t buying books, drinking tea or walking her boxer dog at the beach, Vanasse also does freelance editorial work, helping authors pull together plots, develop characters, and fine-tune their voice and pacing.
Books will be available for purchase and signing.
Vanasse’s presentation is coordinated by the Cannon Beach Library’s NW Authors Series Committee, which sponsors authors monthly from September through May. The committee also sponsors the Writers Read Celebration, where residents and visitors read works based on a local theme. This year, the celebration will be on March 22; the theme is “Beach Noir.”

In the realm of fine art, quilts have become increasingly recognized and celebrated for their artistic merit. Modern quilters, drawing inspiration from diverse sources such as nature, architecture, and even abstract concepts, continue to push boundaries and challenge our perceptions of what quilting can be.

Be prepared to be captivated by the craftsmanship, creativity, and sheer beauty emanating from the quilts of Becky deVries-Wong, Ken Fox, Joshua Pickens, Laurie Caplan, Patti McGregor, and Chris Pavlock during our “Quilted Together” exhibition.

On View: Jan 19 – Feb 19th, 2024
Reception: Jan 19th from 4:30 to 6:30

DEMONSTRATION: Jan 19th, starting at 4:30pm, During the Opening Reception.

In the world of quilting there are a wide variety of techniques used to create the many styles. Becky, will be demonstrating a few of the hand techniques that have been used in vintage quilts and are gaining popularity again. She will have a few samples of each technique to view as well as showing you how they are created.

English Paper Piecing : Sometimes referred to asd EPP, is a form of quilt making that uses paper templates to wrap fabric around and hand sew into a mosaic style of design. It’s a great method for fussy cutting fabric and highlighting a motif or design from fabric.

Stamped Quilt Piecing: Rubber stamps to provide more precision to making your quilt templates. Rubber stamp templates have both a cutting and a sewing line for accuracy . Most sewn together by hand. Some do use machines to sew some together. Similar to EPP, but no paper needed.

Hand Applique : Applique is ornamental needlework in which pieces or patches of fabric are sewn onto a larger background fabric to create a picture or design. Creating motifs and designs from layers of fabric. There are many ways to produce applique by hand or machine depending on the desired effect.

Broderie Perse: Popular in the late 18th century it is French for Persian Embroidery. A technique where elements , such as flowers, birds, animals….are cut from fabric and applique onto another background.

Hello BBQ Community,

Everyone is welcome to join us for an afternoon to create a Vision Board.

If you are interested, between now and then, imagine your best possible life.

What images comes to mind?

Set an intention with that vision in mind and put your attention on your intention.

Start looking through magazines, greeting cards and calendars and clip images that appeal to you.
Don’t overthink it. Let your intuition guide you.

Kathie Hightower will talk about the magic that can happen with Vision Boards. I’ll offer a short meditation and you’ll be given the chance to journal or mind map your intentions.

Supplies to bring on the 29th:
Images that fit your intentions
Poster Board or Foam Board (Dollar Stores carry a variety of colors)
Glue Sticks
Scissors
A journal, or notebook, and pen.

Creating Vision Boards is a Pine Grove Community House sponsored program. This allows us to keep admission low. Admission $5-10.

If you are interested in attending this event, please send an email to me: telaskinner@gmail.com

Let me know if you have questions.

I’m looking forward to a fun time creating together!
Tela

You can find a lot of info about Vision Boards on the internet. Here’s a simple explanation:

Vision boards are a collection of images or objects arranged in a way to assist you in manifesting your best possible life.
Vision boards are highly versatile. You can use them to manifest your personal goals or create a visual representation of a personal vision statement. They’re perfect for helping you envision your dream life.
You can use a vision board for long term goals, like achieving your 5-year plan. Or you can create a yearly vision board, too.
People who use vision boards usually place them where they’ll see them often. You can place a vision board on a mirror you use to get ready in the morning. Other people will prefer to hang it on a wall in a room they use often.

Happy New Year!

On January 11th, 2024 (TONIGHT!) the Nehalem Bay Watershed Council will be hosting their Annual Meeting and the Year in Review.

The NBWC’s Annual Meeting will start at 5 pm. The Annual Meeting consists of board elections, selection of board officers, and the Annual Report. All members are welcome to attend to vote in board elections.

The Annual Report will be a summary of council activities in 2023 including progress reports on restoration designs, planting projects, and regional collaborations. There will also be announcements about upcoming events including the 2024 Nehalem Estuary Cleanup! It’s been a busy year for the council so we hope you’ll come early to learn about what we’ve been up to.
Both the Annual Meeting and Year in Review will be hosted at the NCRD in Nehalem. They will both also be accessible via Zoom and are free to the public. The zoom link is us02web.zoom.us/j/82636432692 or on the Faceboook event at www.facebook.com/nehalembaywc. You can also contact the watershed council at info@nehalemwatershed.org.

A recording of this presentation will also be posted on the NBWC’s YouTube channel with our other recorded presentations. Just search for “Nehalem Bay Watershed Council” on YouTube.

Time & Agenda:

P.S. You’ll note a name change for the Watershed Council. We are now the Nehalem Bay Watershed Council instead of the Lower Nehalem Watershed Council. We think this will both clear up confusion among the community about which organization we are and what we do. Thank you to everyone for your years of support and we’re looking forward to continuing to provide habitat restoration services and advice to stakeholders throughout our basin!
