COURTESY PHOTO Spruce Point Assisted Living and Memory Care held a garage sale the weekend of July 22 and 23 to raise funds for the Oregon Coast Humane Society (OCHS). OCHS currently has 11 cats and 4 dogs that are seniors and they are affect- ed the same way humans are by age-related conditions that require special food and joint supplements.

Senior Center announces new weekly cribbage group The Florence Senior Center has announced the start of a new cribbage group that meets each Wednesday at the center. All ages are welcome to the group, which held its first meeting Aug. 2. Cribbage is a card game for two to four players, in which the objective is to play so that the value of a player’s cards reaches exactly 15 or 31. Unitarians explore ‘Inner Vision’ The Rev. Dr. Marcia Pearce will lead the worship service at the Florence Unitarian Universalist Fellowship on Sunday, Aug. 6, from 10 to 11 a.m. The title of her message is: “Use Your Inner Vision,” inspired by one of Pearce's favorite quotes from Henry David Thoreau, “It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.” The UU Fellowship is located at 87738 Highway 101 at Heceta Beach Road. Each service concludes with refreshments and a dia- logue circle to explore the questions that come up dur- ing each service. For more information, visit www.florenceuuf.org or call 541-997-2840.
