Aimed at raising significant funds to help purchase and ren- ovate the nonprofit group’s new permanent arts facility for kids, 3120 Highway 101, this event will feature a silent auc- tion, dessert auction, live enter- tainment from the CROW kids and some fantastic live auction items. One such item will be an art print donated by Joshua Greene of the Archives, LLC. The print, titled “Marilyn Monroe as Ballerina by the Bar,” is approximately 16” x 20,” fea- tures a poignant image of the beautiful and famous movie starlet, posed in a white gown, and was framed by Tamara Szalewski of Mindpower Gallery in Reedsport. In addition to being Florence City Council president, and dedicated to the enrichment and sustainability of the Florence community, Greene is the son of legendary 20th Century celebrity and fashion photographer Milton H. Greene. Joshua Greene founded The Archives, LLC, as a way to protect and restore his father’s photographic legacy, as well as to provide curating services for COURTESY PHOTO “Marilyn Monroe as Ballerina by the Bar” photo by Milton H. Greene, and donated to CROW’s Share Your Heart by Joshua Greene of The Archives, LCC the 300,000 images in his father’s collection. Along the way, Joshua became an expert in estate curation, developing tech- niques for selecting the most important images from a graphic, historical and financial perspective. This donation to CROW makes a dramatic impact on the “Share Your Heart” fundraiser, in that the estimated value is $1,500. However, to add an exciting twist to the print’s cur- rent value, Greene told CROW artistic director, Melanie Heard that he plans to “double the retail value” of the print in May. This means that in a few short months, the print will be worth $3,000. The print is part of a collec- tion titled: “The Anniversary Edition” and was released in June of 2006 in honor of Monroe’s 80th birthday. It is comprised of three Marilyn Monroe images by Milton H. Greene, from The Black Sitting and The Ballerina Sitting. There are 75 prints of each image in this edition. There are six artist proofs and 14 exhibition prints, which brings the edition total to 95 prints. Artist proofs are not available to the public and kept in-house at The Archives.

Doors will open at 6 p.m., and the event begins at 6:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased by calling 541-997-1994, or online at www.eventcenter.org.

It will be in Florence on Wednesday, Feb. 24, from 9 a.m. to noon at Siuslaw Valley Fire & Rescue, 2625 Highway 101. Tsunami Safe is designed to increase tsunami awareness by educating all levels of employ- ees in the hospitality industry, informing overnight visitors to the Oregon coast of the risk and increasing disaster pre- paredness throughout the hos- pitality industry along the coast, said OEM Geologic Hazards Awareness Coordinator Karen Parmelee. “Facilities that participate in the program will be at the fore- front of providing safety for guests,” said Parmelee. This round of trainings will offer two components on each date. The first component is the introductory training for facilities that have not already received that training.
