I am writing to thank you on behalf of our entire office staff and the foster children of Lincoln County for your outstanding efforts of putting up a Christmas tree, making tags, and collecting gifts for several foster children from this county. The event took place on Dec. 23, 2002. It was held at The Embarcadero in Newport because of the central location. Because our population of foster children has grown, the event was held in both parts of the ballroom, as opposed to half of it partitioned off. Santa arrived and he posed for a picture with each child and then presented them with a gift. Most of those gifts came from Chinook Winds. Thank you so much for your eagerness to help. For years, you 've been there, ready and willing to help. First you call us, eager to get name tags made for the tree, so your employees can dig deep into their pockets in difficult times to help children that they don’t even know. That is incredibly touching, and we so appreciate it! We do not take it for granted. We hope you and yours have a happy successful New Year. Thanks so much from all of us! It's always a joy working with you. Sincerely, Julie Rhoades, Social Service Assistant, Dept, of Social Services Comedy on the Coast Continues Comedy on the Coast is set for March 14-15 and features Art Krug as the opening act, with Russ T. Nailz as the headliner and Susan Rice as the featured comedian in a 90-minute show. A Portland native, Krug has the calm demeanor of the guy next door - the one who always seemed so normal. But when he takes the stage, that gives way to a boiling comic spirit and a uniquely creative mind that have made him one of the “funniest ever to come out of the Northwest,” according to Entertainment Scene magazine. His TV credits include Showtime’s Comedy Club, PM Magazine, AM Northwest, Two at Four, CBS News at Noon, and Funny Business as well as numerous commercials. Krug has traveled across the U.S. and Canada for the last 19 years, performing at The Improv, Comedy Underground, Punchlines, The Last Laugh, Comedy Cellar, and The Riviera in Las Vegas. Twenty years as a pro give Nailz a natural on-stage persona. He greeted Southern Californians on 91X FM radio every morning for nearly 10 years. His mix of original current event jokes, character voices, and special effects produced many memorable on-air bits. He also has appeared in a few TV movies and several comedy shows. Nailz has a unique talent for finding the proper material to perform for each audience he faces. This multi-talented comedian has developed many interesting characters, which he incorporates into his comedy routine. Comedy club audiences across the nation can attest to the music, mirth, and madcap fun enjoyed when Nailz is onstage. Rice is funny, familiar, and female. People consider her part of the family. She twists daily conversations and experiences so that you walk away with a whole new perspective on your own relatives. Rice, a Pacific Northwest native, began her comedy career in college. Her love of performing arts began in San Diego, then grew in Portland, Ore., where she worked in banking and pursued acting. She discovered comedy at the The Leaky Roof Tavern and from the moment she stepped on stage, she knew she had found her career. For 15 years, she’s been a profes sional stand-up comedian and has had the privilege of performing in every state of the union and to every state of mind. Television appearances include An Evening at the Improv, Comedy Central, and Comedy Club Network. Comedy club bookings include Catch a Rising Star, The Ice House, Indianapolis Comedy Connection, Igby’s, The Laff Stops, The Improve, and The Laugh Factory. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.; the show begins at 8 p.m. A no-host bar will be available. Tickets are $12.
