Applegater November-December 2008 13 12 November-December 2008 Applegater Applegate Library News Our “Celebrate Applegate Day” on October 4 was a big success. Th e library was fi lled with the products of local artists both in the meeting room and in the main part of the library. People appreciated the opportunity to see what a large community of artists live here in the Applegate. Th e library turned into a high-quality gallery from 10 am to 5 pm. A percentage of the art that was sold went to the Friends of Th e Applegate Library (FOAL). On the evening of October 4, Eve’s Cafe sponsored a fundraising dinner for FOAL. After a rain-fi lled day, the sun came out at 5:30 to allow the fi rst seating of about 50 people outside in the garden. Music was provided by Monte and Maya Killingsworth. For the second seating at 7:30, a new group arrived to fi ll the cafe indoors and hear the music of Kristi Cowles and Clint and Steve Driver. A great way to end a fun-fi lled, beautiful day. Carole Karvis is announcing the High Quality Book Sale at the Applegate Library, which will last one whole week this year, from November 18 through November 22. Even though the two days on Wednesday and Th ursday are not regular library hours, the library will be open on those days for the book sale. Hundreds of high-quality books will be available ranging in price from 50 cents to higher prices depending on the rarity and quality of the book. Th ere will be plenty of fi ction and non-fi ction, as well as specialty items, as for instance, “Th e Art of Tea,” including a small tea set on the inside, and a meditation kit, complete with candle. Look forward to more programs this coming year. Tom Doty will be back with us in February with more Native American Storytelling.

Th is past August, a small group of “Angels” was invited to attend an afternoon of fun, including a dinner party that was catered fabulously by Eve’s Cafe. Each Angel at the event, plus a few who were unable to attend, made a signifi cant and generous fi nancial commitment to the Applegater Newspaper to help continue its publication. The Angels concept is to bring together individuals who are willing and able to donate financially to the Applegater, and who share a community spirit that recognizes the need for the Gater to continue its free distribution to all households in the Applegate watershed. We all know the value of the articles—from the fun and tidbits to serious fi re and forestry issues—that the paper has covered so well. Th e Angels graciously donated their money in support of their commitment to the paper. Th e Applegater is now assured to continue for at least a few more publications. It is extraordinarily nice to have Angels at your side! Greeley Wells 541-840-5700 greeley@carberrycreek.net Hal Macy 541-899-7331 dulcinea@apbb.net
