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.
