YARD SALE AT NATIVE AMERICAN FELLOWSHIP

 
As you all know, the Wilshire United Methodist Church & Native American Fellowship has a matching funds grant for Wheelchair Accessibility until the end of August.  On August 9th, they will be having a huge Yard Sale.  Every dollar that they collect during any event through the end of August will be matched.  If you have been thinking about donating items to the Goodwill, or having a Yard Sale, please consider the August 9th Yard Sale at the Native Fellowship.  You can either donate your items to the Native Fellowship, and they will sell them for you (and you will be given a donation receipt for income tax purposes), or you can man your own table and sell your own items.  If you want to sell your own items and you wish to donate any of the proceeds to the Native Fellowship, they would be gratefully accepted; however, it is not required.  So you have two options!
 
If you are interested in donating any items for the Yard Sale, or if you wish to set up your own table for the Yard Sale, please get in touch with Stephanie at alaria@syrynx.net as soon as possible.

New Children’s Book Enchants Lovers of Oregon Coast   The magic of Haystack Rock, the Oregon Coast's most famous landmark, is the subject of a new book Frederick and the Flute Maker. but popular with all ages, the book tells the story of Royle, a flute maker, and the "little people" of Haystack Rock.  When Royle meets a boy named Frederick, the encounter changes both their lives.

The fable Frederick and the Flute Maker is designed for children of second-grade through middle school.  Its magical story is intertwined with the pre-history of the Oregon Coast and, in particular, the history of Cannon Beach, home to Haystack Rock. It has an underlying message adults can appreciate about reverence for the natural wonder of the Oregon Coast.  The beautifully hardbound picture book comes with an audio book, and benefits the Haystack Rock Awareness Program, which receives $1 from each sale.

 
Frederick and the Flute Maker author Tricia Gates Brown is a poet, writer, and playwright who works part-time as Program Director of the Cannon Beach History Center.  The book is wonderfully illustrated by Sally Lackaff, who spent her childhood in Cannon Beach and who now works as an artist in Astoria, Oregon.  She is known for murals and illustrations visible around the north coast. Original music for the audio-book was composed and recorded by Gary Stroutsos of Seattle, Washington, with the help of Gary Lanz.  Stroutsos' admiration for the Oregon Coast inspired his most popular CD, "Pacific Moon," which was born at Falcon Cove.

 
Frederick and the Flute Maker is available in shops around the Oregon Coast, and will soon be available in Portland, Seattle, and other inland towns. It can be purchased online at www.frederickandtheflutemaker.com, a website where children can download coloring pages from the book.
 

The Spirit of Sacajawea   The Spirit of Sacajawea is a new independent film by Naka Productions.  The only woman and the only Indian to travel with the Lewis and Clark expedition, Sacajawea is one of the most revered women in American history, yet her story has been romanticized and, often, misinterpreted by non-natives.  The Spirit of Sacajawea examines the many controversies of her life, how her tribes were impacted, and how they are surviving today.  This is the story of Sacajawea from a Native woman's perspective.  The film is narrated by Tantoo Cardinal, with the original musical score by Mary Youngblood and Jim Brock.  Mary Youngblood was nominated for an EMMY for her work on this project, which is beautifully done. 

 
You can order this DVD from www.nakatv.com for $25.00, plus $5.00 shipping & handling.
