Estacada Area Community Events

Keep Our Libraries Open

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:04:34 -0700

Hello Everyone-

Some of you are expecting this email, and others I have invited because I know you love and value libraries.

Please come to the Flora Community Room Saturday April 26th at 6pm for an advocacy planning session.
George Hoyt of the Sandy Friends of the Library, who has organized the county-wide PAC Keep Our Libraries Open, will attend (or send a representative) to let us know what that important group is doing.

We will brainstorm how best to get the word out in our community on the importance of passing this measure in November.

If you have friends who may be interested who are not in the above email list, please invite them.

Please bring your ideas and your enthusiasm!

See you then,
Katinka

Annual Estacada Community Roundtable Summit

Sat, 12 Apr 2008 16:53:56 -0700

The public is invited to the Annual Estacada Community Roundtable Summit to be held Saturday April 12, from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, at the Estacada City Hall Council Chambers. This is a great opportunity to hear the “State of the City” address from Mayor Austin and to listen to other Community Group leaders – from schools, youth groups, Parks, Summer Celebration, Veteran’s Association, and others - share their past successes and future plans for their organizations. We will also have a guest speaker, Carolyn Campbell from the “Core Source” who will talk about some wonderful new tools you can use to keep, invigorate, and attract new volunteers that will keep your volunteer group vital and fresh to best accomplish your community based goals.

This roundtable forum will be co-facilitated by Estacada Community Foundation Chair Lisa Brookshier and Mayor Bob Austin. There will also be a light breakfast/reception beginning at 8:00 AM and healthy snacks throughout the morning. What better way to get an early start to your weekend by spending Saturday morning with your friends and neighbors as well as sharing your thoughts and ideas about great things that are yet to happen in the Estacada Community that you can be proud to be a part of.

Please address any questions you may have about this event to Lisa Brookshier or Bob Austin at 503-630-8286. We hope to see you there!

Writers Night

Sat, 12 Apr 2008 11:36:19 -0700

The Estacada Area Arts Commission presents its 6th annual Writers Night at the Springwater Grange. This popular event has drawn a larger and larger audience each year to the historic Grange building. Everyone who attends is invited to a party at organizer Stevan Allred's home after the reading.

"It's a popular event," says writer Stevan Allred, who organizes the event, "and each year our audience has grown."

The theme for this year's event is "The Elephant in the Room." Everybody knows the things we don't talk about in polite company, things like politics, race, religion, sex, and mental illness. "Writers," says Allred, "have the task of addressing these issues with grace and wit, so that the unspoken can be heard and discussed in a way that is intelligent instead of threatening." The audience can expect to be entertained as well as stimulated intellectually, and the readings will contain nothing more explicit than what might be found in a movie rated PG.

This year's readers will be Stevan Allred, Joanna Rose, and Jackie Shannon Hollis, the same line-up that delighted those who attended last year's event. Allred will read the second half of "As Men Will Do Unto The Least Among Us" a long story he began at last year's event. Rose will read from the beginning of "Ruby's Roadhouse", her novel in progress, and Hollis will read "Her Own Special Touch", a story about a family that moves from one small town to another because of the mother's neurotic behavior.

The event is free and open to the public.
Donations to the arts commission will be gratefully accepted.

The historic Springwater Grange is located at
24591 S. Springwater Road, Estacada.
