THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2018
What’s a favorite Christmas memory?
“I grew up in
Puerto Rico, and
haven’t spent a
Christmas there in
over 26 years. The
thing I miss the most
is the food. We have a version of
eggnog, coquito, made of rum and
coconut. It’s absolutely delicious. I
really miss that.”
Sharon Collyer, Astoria

established homelessness

fundraising to cover basic
expenses. There has not
been extra money to fund a
paid position.
“This is precisely why
the (Oregon Community
Foundation) grant is a huge
step for us towards sustain-
able growth,” said West,
who, for over a decade, has
made her income by work-
ing with horses.
The grant allows her to
scale back from this day-to-
day work and focus more
directly on the Arts and
Movement Center, a goal
since the purchase of the
Odd Fellows B uilding.
“What (the center) is able
to offer, who we are able to
reach and the partnerships
we are able to form are all
a direct result of the hours
spent supporting the orga-
nization’s infrastructure,”
West said. “With (the Ore-
gon Community Founda-
tion’s) support, now I have
the time and ability to do
just that.”
Besides offering classes,
the Arts and Movement Cen-
ter routinely opens the Odd
Fellows ballroom for com-
munity events and dances.
With the encouragement of
West and Mazzarella, a new
theater is also in the works
on the building’s fi rst fl oor.
Dan Stein, of Astoria, who
serves on the North Coast
Advisory Council to the Ore-
gon Community Foundation,

at a recent board meeting.
He praised the organization’s
work in the community.

were happening here and
we wanted to make sure we

A downtown organiza-
tion that offers dance and
exercise classes is gearing
up for a big leap.
The Astoria Arts and
Movement Center, housed
in the historic Odd Fellows
Building on Commercial
Street, recently received a
$22,000 grant from the Ore-
gon Community Founda-
tion to help fund a part-time
executive director.
Jessamyn West, founder
of the Arts and Movement
Center, says the enterprise
has been a “10- to- 20- hour-
plus a week, 100 percent
volunteer commitment.”
West is one of three local
women who make up the
Astoria Odd Fellows LLC,
which purchased the Odd
Fellows B uilding earlier this
year amid community con-
cerns over a potential buyer
from the Portland area. The
LLC includes Andrea Maz-
zarella, a real estate agent
who serves as president of
the Arts and Movement Cen-
ter’s board, and Nancy Maz-
zarella-Tisch, also a member
of the center’s board.
Rent paid by instructors
accounts for only 60 per-
cent of the center’s annual
budget, and the center relies
on grants, donations and
