Every dollar raised goes to
purchase materials and sup-
plies for building houses in
Florence.
Habitat works with carefully
selected families to give them a
hand up, not a hand out.
A family receiving a Habitat
house is required to participate
in the building process by giv-
ing 300 to 500 hours of sweat
equity work plus agreeing to
enter into a 30-year, zero-inter-
est mortgage before they can
WITH
receive a new house.
Florence Habitat seeks pas-
sionate individuals and organi-
zations to join in the fight
against substandard housing.
Anyone who would like to
volunteer or donate can pick up
a brochure form and donation
envelope for the 2015 Habitat
Beach Walk at the Florence
Habitat for Humanity office,
2004 Highway 101 in Florence.

Alliance (FRAA) will be
offering a free introductory
plein air painting class
Wednesday, July 8, from 10 to
11 a.m., at the FRAA Art
Center, 4969 Highway 101,
Munsel Lake Plaza No. 4.
As
instructor
Andrea
Ciaston explains, “Our affinity
to nature is inescapable. Plein
air painting is painting land-
scapes outdoors, literally
translated: ‘in the open air.’”
Learn to paint the light and
atmosphere as you experience
it while traveling to four sites
in Florence and paint onsite.
This workshop will cover
composition, how to block out
a painting, color theory and
mixing.
The class will also explore
the spontaneous techniques of
the impressionists with the
goal of each artist recording
their personal response to
nature.
This introductory class will
give students the opportunity
to meet the instructor and hear
