SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 2016 3 A Volunteers sought for Band concert will benefit Habitat for Humanity ‘Day of Caring’ United Way of South- western Oregon, partnering with Northwest Natural, is seeking local service clubs and individuals interested in vol- unteering to help Bay Area seniors and the disabled during this year’s eighth annual Day of Caring. Last year, United Way of Southwestern Oregon had more clients than years past and expect the same response this year. The Day of Caring is Saturday, April 23, and will involve local volunteers visit- ing the homes of seniors and people with disabilities to stack wood, mow lawns, clean The Pacific Coast Wind Ensemble (PCWE) will be pre- senting a concert Sunday, April 3, at the Performing Arts Center in Newport beginning at 2 p.m. The concert will be a benefit for the Lincoln County Habitat for Humanity. Led by director Lou Invernon, the program will consist of classics — Bach’s “Little Fugue in G-Minor,” show tunes from “Chicago,” medleys from Louis Armstrong and Gershwin, as well as tan- gos, overtures, beguines and more. The Wind Ensemble is com- posed of amateur and profes- sional musicians from along Oregon’s central coast, from Lincoln City to Florence, that perform three seasonal con- certs given in Yachats, Newport and Florence. Each concert benefits a local charity, this one is for Habitat for Humanity of Lincoln County. Besides local charities, the Wind Ensemble has a commit- ment to the development of young musicians through its scholarship program. As many band members know, music is a life-long avo- cation, giving pleasure through the years, and a sound educa- tion in the early years provides gutters, haul trash and do other manual labor jobs seniors and the disabled can’t do for them- selves. Last year, more than 180 volunteers worked at 74 homes in Coos Bay and North Bend. The activity begins at 9 a.m. and jobs are finished by early afternoon. Projects are matched with volunteer group capabilities. There will be an apprecia- tion barbecue afterward, host- ed by Northwest Natural Gas. Anyone interested in help- ing can contact United Way of Southwestern Oregon at 541- 267-5202 or visit uwswo@ frontier.com.

Several of the scholarships are directed toward students in particular fields of education or with other qualifying charac- teristics such as mechanical interest, nursing and others. Last year, Western Lane Community Foundation awarded over $25,000 in scholarships. Since WLCF established their first scholarships more than 40 years ago, more than $250,000 has been awarded to both Mapleton and Siuslaw graduating seniors.
