Three ‘clams’ gets you a buck off chowder this May
Heard to speak at
City Club April 7
On Friday, April 7, The City
Club of Florence, beginning at
noon, will host a presentation
by Melanie Heard and several
of her young associates about
CROW, it’s recent activities
and upcoming performances
including
The
Addams
Family: A New Musical on
April 21, 22 and 23.
Heard began her perform-
ance career at age 2 1⁄2 when
she tap danced with a giant
Raggedy Andy doll, but her
professional arts background
stems from the genre of classi-
cal ballet.
She studied dance with the
Joffrey Ballet, Kirov Ballet
School in DC, and Ballet West
in Utah.
Originally from the Los
Angeles area, Heard has
directed and/or choreographed
more than 60 full length shows
featuring children and adults,
including, “Shrek Jr.,” “Once
Upon A Mattress,” “The Little
Mermaid Jr.,” “The Music
Man Jr.,” “Beauty And The
Beast Jr.,” “Seussical Jr.,”
“Lend Me A Tenor,” “Steel
Magnolias” and others.
Heard has played many
onstage roles — from a tap
dancing chorus girl to “Sally
Bowles” in Caberet to the title
role in Evita.
A credentialed teacher with
a Master’s of Education and a
former “Teacher of the Year”
in Los Angeles, Heard said
she believes firmly in the
power of a high caliber arts
education.
She founded CROW in
2011 based on the concept that
children and young adults
need and deserve the arts, so
that they may become respon-
sible, contributing members of
society. Heard is exceptional-
ly grateful for the ever-
increasing levels of support for
CROW shown by the Florence
Community.
The City Club meeting will
be held at the clubhouse of the
Ocean Dunes Golf Links,
3345 Munsel Lake Rd.
Lunch and beverages will
be available for purchase at 11
a.m. and the presentation will
begin at noon.
Starlight Cabaret to host
Celtic harps, stories
The Starlight Cabaret will
host Lisa Lynne and Aryeh
Frankfurter on April 6, during
a special evening of music fea-
turing Celtic harps, rare instru-
ments and wondrous stories.
Lynne and Frankfurter are a
multi-instrumentalist duo that
play harps, Swedish nyckel-
harpa, Ukrainian bandura,
bouzouki, cittern and more.
They are new residents to
Oregon and tour extensively.
Both musicians have success-
ful recording and performing
careers, built from years of
street performing and playing
other styles of music.

They have performed with

ditional and original tunes,

Florence Unitarian
Universalist Fellowship
(FUUF), at Highway 101 and

By the third weekend of
May, Rhododendron Festival
organizers hope everyone in
Florence will have, and be
wearing, one of this year’s
Rhododendron Festival but-
tons.
And this year, there is a deli-
cious, old-fashioned benefit
that comes with pin ownership.
This year’s pin follows the
festival’s theme, “Always
Ready to Rhody” — a motto
borrowed from the Coast
Guard’s “Semper Paratus,” or
“Always Ready.”
In honor of the Coast
Guard’s centennial anniversary
in Florence, USCG Station
Siuslaw River was chosen to be
the festival’s honorary parade
Rhody buttons inlcude the
official 110th anniversary
Rhody Festival logo.
grand marshals. The festival
button features the “Always
Ready” motto, an anchor, a
patriotic red, white and blue
color scheme, and the tradition-
al rhododendron bloom.
The Florence Area Chamber
of Commerce, organizer of the
May 19-21 event, is bringing
back two of the festival’s past
traditions — metal campaign-
style buttons and clam chow-
der.
For many years of their his-
tory, the Rhody Festival but-
tons were round, enameled, tin
pins. More recently,the pins
were a smaller metal die-cut
shape or a cloisonné-style, and
thus more expensive.
In an effort to make the but-
tons more affordable, the com-
mittee is offering the “old-fash-
ioned” coated metal pin for $3
this year. Proceeds go toward
scholarships
for
Queen
Rhododendra, the King of the
Coast and members of the
Rhody Court.
So what’s the chowder con-
nection? As an incentive to
purchase buttons, local restau-
rants are offering $1 off a bowl
of clam chowder to each per-
son wearing a 2017 Rhody but-
ton through the month of May.
Participating restaurants will
have a sign posted at their
entrance and a participant’s list
will be posted at www.Florence
Chamber.com.
The new Rhody buttons can
be purchased from any of the
Rhododendron Court mem-
bers,merchant button boxes
and at the Chamber of
Commerce Visitor’s Center,
290 Highway 101.
