The Empty Bowls 2015
Committee has announced the
unveiling of the 20th anniver-
sary watercolor titled, “Empty
Bowls, Empty Tummies,” pre-
sented by local artist Kathryn
Damon-Dawson.
This colorful painting will be
featured on the 2015 Empty
Bowls 20th anniversary posters
and advertising media.
Damon-Dawson is a work-
ing artist who typically paints
in series such as “Urban
Semantics,” “Bird Dialogues”
and “Barefoot on the Beach.”
She lives near Florence, in a
forest where her studio over-
looks Siltcoos Lake. She is also
one of the founding members
of Backstreet Gallery, located
at 1421 Bay Street in Florence.
Her artistic vision of seeing
with her eyes and feeling with
her heart, results in paintings
containing hints of stories por-
trayed through selected forms
and carefully created composi-
tions.

Habitat for Humanity begins new hours
Visit the Siuslaw News online at
WWW.THESIUSLAWNEWS.COM
The Florence Habitat for
Humanity ReStore is expand-
ing its hours beginning
Monday, Sept. 14, and will be
open six days a week.
New ReStore hours will be
Monday through Saturday, 9
a.m. to 5 p.m., and closed on
Sundays.
Volunteers are an invaluable
and integral part of the Habitat
for Humanity team and help to
make building houses possible.
With the new ReStore hours,
more volunteers are needed to
allow the store to be open
longer hours. Volunteers take
in donations, handle picking up
donations and work in store
sales. Anyone who enjoys tin-
kering with and fixing up
appliances, clocks, electronics
and light fixtures would be a
perfect fit as a volunteer for the
store and its Habitat ReStore
team.
Customers can find great
savings shopping at the Restore
with prices well below retail.
Another advantage to shopping
at the ReStore is being able to
fix up a home or apartment
economically. Donations come
in throughout the month, so
shop often for good buys on
materials.
Plus, purchases at the
ReStore keep local dollars
working in the Florence area.
Being a donor to Habitat’s
ReStore helps provide reusable
building materials for sale in
the store. The ReStore is
always interested in receiving
donations of new or used appli-
ances, bath fixtures, bricks and
blocks, cabinets, doors, electri-
cal supplies, flooring, furniture,
garden tools, hardware, light
fixtures, lumber and wood
products, paints and stains.
Donating items to the
ReStore keeps reusable materi-
als out of landfills and reduces
landfill fees. In addition, dona-
tions receive a tax receipt.
ReStore even offers pick up
for items that are too big or
awkward to fit in your vehicle.
Building supply retailers can
donate surplus and discontin-
ued inventory. Contractors can
also donate surplus new build-
ing materials or reusable mate-
rials from remodels. Materials
need to be in good usable con-
dition.
Every purchase at the
Habitat Restore provides finan-
cial support to Florence Habitat
for Humanity and their goal of
building houses locally for
deserving families.
Any family selected to
receive a Habitat house must
work 500 hours on Habitat for
Humanity projects before they
can become home owners.
For more information about
volunteering in the ReStore,
donating items, or shopping
can either come by the
Florence Habitat for Humanity
ReStore, 2016 Highway 101, in
the Grocery Outlet shopping
center, or call the store at 541-
997-5834.
