children,” Davies said. In addition to rais-
ing funds, the league treasures its experiences
with local youth as well. “We’re hoping to be
back in the schools in fall. It’s so much more
rewarding than giving the students vouch-
ers to purchase items. That’s what we’ve
truly missed, being in the schools, meeting
the teens and younger ones, having conver-
sations with them, getting to know individu-
als, and shopping with them. It’s so fun to see
them excited to be in stores, then walking out
with their bags, seeing them so thrilled. And
seeing the joy on their faces and the pride and
confi dence that they have when we can pro-
vide something as simple as new shoes or a
prom dress. That is wonderful,” Davies said.
Assistance League of the Columbia
Pacifi c is a nonprofi t, volunteer-based orga-
nization serving children within Clatsop
County. The organization dedicates itself
to philanthropic programs, including Opera-
tion School Bell which provides new school
clothes, Duff el Bag, which supplies local
youth entering foster care with clothes and
comfort items, Cinderella’s Closet, which
provides items for school dances, and o ut-
reach, which off ers help during emergen-
cies. The organization also works on a liter-
acy program distributing books, as well as on
academic and cultural activity scholarships
for students.
The Home and Chef Tour is a great
opportunity to spread the word. “We’re so
grateful to the property and home own-
ers who have agreed to share their locations
for the tour this year,” Davies said, “ and,
of course, to those restaurants, fl orists and
businesses, who help make it all happen,”
she added. Locations for this year’s tour
include the fascinating Wunderground, a
two bedroom converted property ensconced
in Astoria’s Underground, which will be
paired with Fulio’s restaurant. Also on the
tour is the recently revived Rosebriar Man-
sion. Built in 1902 as the family residence
of banker Frank Patton, the home has expe-
rienced many reinventions. It was converted
into a convent in the 1950s, resurrected as a
hotel in the 1990s, then opened as a rehabil-
itation center for women in 2009. Now, lov-
ingly restored, the home will be paired with
Bridgewater Bistro.
Other homes featured include a 1925
beauty on the bluff overlooking the Colum-
bia River, paired with tasty treats from Fort
George Brewery, alongside a mid century
Lydia Ely/The Astorian
The Rosebriar mansion in downtown Astoria,
built in 1902.
