Donations
from 1A
“We’d like to give a great big
thank you to Three Rivers
Casino for providing another
way their participants can help
out Florence Food Share,”
Barton said.
The food share also received
cash donations from individu-
als and corporations from
around the region.
On Thursday, Nov. 9, Sam
Spayd,
Volunteer
Kettle
Coordinator for the Salvation
Army’s Red Kettle Campaign,
announced the Army of
Western Lane County will be
giving $2,000 to the food share.
“This is a wonderfully gen-
erous gift and comes at a time
when Florence Food Share is
truly in need,” Barton said.
“Thank you, Salvation Army.”
Because of the multiple
donations that have come
through, Barton stated Food
Share was able to repay the
$20,000 line of credit it had
taken out earlier in the month.
That line of credit was needed
to help support the program’s
operational costs throughout
the holiday.
While the cash donations
have put Florence Food Share
in the black for now, funds are
still needed throughout the
year, particularly after the holi-
days.
“The need for continued
operational funds remains
strong,” Barton said.
Donations can be accepted
online at www.florencefood
share.org; checks can be sent
to: P.O. Box 2514, Florence,
Oregon, 97439; and donors can
hand deliver their food or cash
donations directly to the pantry
at 2190 Spruce St. between the
hours of 8:30 a.m. and 1:30
p.m., Monday through Friday.

The Studios debuts ‘Handmade Holiday’
The Studios at Jayne Smoley
Designs is hosting the first
Handmade
Holiday
Gift
Gallery on Saturday, Nov. 11, to
feature the talents of local and
regional artists and makers.
This one-day Gift Gallery is
an opportunity for regional
artists to showcase and sell their
work, and for the community to
purchase unique, high quality
handmade gifts.
A portion of the proceeds
will be donated to Florence
Food Share’s holiday baskets.
The Studios is at 1458 First
St. in Historic Old Town
Florence, and the event is open
from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Artists include “ExplORE”
photographer Jo Beaudreau,
reclaimed wood sign artist
Jamie Dompierre, pastel artist
and master crafter Kassy
Keppol, mixed-media artist and
jeweler Gigi Lassan, Meant
Manufacturing founder and tex-
tile creator Lindsey Phillips,
whimsical oil painter Tamarah
Phillips, fused glass artist and
gallery owner Jayne Smoley,
Pacific Northwest art jeweler
Melody Stancato, jewelry artist
Denise Tarvin and Siuslaw
High School students Jessalynn
Keppol, who creates sculptures
and jewelry from upcycled cop-
per wire, and Brayson Myrick,
who makes wooden signs.
Several of these artists sell
their work through online
stores, but rarely showcase their
work in their own hometown
area of Florence.
There will be live music
throughout the day.

Holiday Bazaar
from 1A
Grzeskowiak continued,
“The availability of pro-
grams for students, includ-
ing some expansion of
electives, and smaller class
sizes than many other
schools in the county, are
proof that the community’s
money has been well spent
by the board of directors.
The district will continue
this wise stewardship of
resources, from both local
and state sources, to see
that Siuslaw students are
prepared for their future.”
The Lane County clerk
has until Nov. 27 to certify
the election results.
