For registration information go to encorelearn.org Film and candlelight walk set to honor MLK on Sunday The Daily Astorian Liberty Theatre The professional artists of PROJECT Trio, double-bassist Peter Seymour, cellist Eric Stephenson, and flutist Greg Pattillo, held a workshop on performance and musical improvisation and an introduction to the field of music business on the stage at the Liberty Theatre, just before their 7 p.m. performance on Jan. 4. Attending the workshop were students from Astoria High School, along with teacher Nick Baisley. As an ongoing mission to aid in the musical and cultural education of students from the area, Jennifer Crockett, Liberty Theatre executive director; Bereniece Jones-Centeno, artistic director; and the Liberty Theatre Board of Directors are partnering with AHS to give students direct access to professional artists. Dinner, raffle and auction set for German exchange program The Daily Astorian Megan Schächer and Andrew Schauermann have taken on the Walldorf Exchange as their senior project, and hope to raise $20,000. Walldorf, Ger- many, is Astoria’s sister city because it is where John Jacob Astor, who founded Astoria, was born. Every year Astoria students host Walldorf students, and then Astoria students travel to Walldorf. This educational opportu- nity has been happening for 50 years. Last year was the first time Astoria students were not able to make the trip; none of them could afford the expense, as the cost is about $3,000 per student. To raise the money needed this year, raffle tickets and din- ner tickets are being sold. The raffle tickets are $20 each, and the prize is an Alaskan Cruise for two. Only 400 tickets will be sold, and the winner will be announced at the German Din- ner and Silent Auction, which takes place at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 27 in the cafeteria at Astoria High School. Tickets for the dinner are $20 each, or $15 for chil- dren younger than 10; only 250 dinner tickets are avail- able, and must be purchased in advance. On the dinner menu are bratwurst, spaetzel (noo- dles), sauerkraut, pork roast, potato dumplings and cucum- ber salad. Auction items include an Oktoberfest bas- ket, a dresser, $600 worth of free parking from North Coast Mini-Storage, Seaside Wine Walk passes and much more. To donate items for the auction, to buy a raffle or din- ner ticket or for questions, call or text Megan Schächer at 503-440-8316, or email her at mschacher18@astoriak12. org. Dinner tickets can also be purchased at the high school, or online at tinyurl.com/Wall- dorfDinner.
