C OMMUNITY - PARTICIPATION E ARTH D AY EVENTS PLANNED FOR NEXT WEEKEND
Oregon Dunes Restoration
Collaborative (ODRC) is planning
two work parties to celebrate Earth
Day.
On Saturday, April 20, in coop-
eration with the Siuslaw National
Forest and University of Oregon’s
RARE (Resource Assistance for
Rural Economies) program, the
public is welcome to join ODRC
volunteers in removing invasive
Scotch broom from the John
Dellenback trail and dunes area
from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The work party will include dis-
cussions about native grasses,
dunes ecology, and possible resto-
ration efforts.
The John Dellenback trailhead is
20 minutes south of Reedsport on
the westside of Highway 101, just
south of Eel Creek Campground.
Then on Saturday, April 27, in
cooperation with Oregon State
Parks, the public is welcome to join
ODRC volunteers in removing
invasive Scotch broom at the
Dunes Day Use Area, Jessie M.
Honeyman State Park from 9 a.m.
to noon (Head south on Highway
101, turn right at Hon-eyman State
Park then stay left at the junction
for Dunes Day Use Area. Turn
right and park at the Dunes Day
Use Area.)
For both events, volunteers are
not required to pay the day use
fees. Bring loppers, tree saws or
shovels, and drinking water. Long
pants, sturdy shoes, a hat and a
snack are recommended.
ODRC has a limited number of
tools, so those needing tools to
participate can contact Info @
SaveOregonDunes.org.
ODRC thanks the Childs-
Whitney Trust for the funds that
were used to recently purchase the
tools.

and other ODRC events, visit www.

ODRC will have an informa-
tional table at the “Earth Day at the
Boardwalk Celebration.” This event
is Saturday, April 20, from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m. at the Port of Florence.
ODRC will have brochures and
volunteers will be available to
answer questions.

Dunes: The Bid to Save a National
Treasure,” will be available for a $10
donation. It was recently honored
as the Publication of the Year by
the Public Lands Alliance.

Boys & Girls Club preparing to host 22nd annual golf tournament fundraiser
The ‘Fore Kids’ golf tournament will raise funds for its summer program and scholarships
The 22nd anniversary of
the Boys & Girls Club Fore
Kids Golf Tournament hap-
pens Saturday, June 1, at
Ocean Dunes Golf Links in
Florence.
Studies show that students
who don’t practice academic
skills over the summer of-
ten don’t retain what they’ve
learned in school. Students
from low-income fami-
lies lose an average of two
months reading achievement
over the summer.
By the end of fifth grade,
disadvantaged children are
nearly three grade levels be-
hind their peers with higher
incomes when it comes to
reading skills.
Two-thirds of the achieve-
ment gap between lower and
higher income ninth graders
can be explained by summer
learning loss.
Summer matters because
there is no other time of year
in America when inequalities
are greater.
Almost 50 percent of the
kids in the B&G Club Sum-
mer Program are on program
scholarships. These families
are the families that don’t
take vacations because there
is no money to go.
Over 500 youth are served
by the Boys & Girls Club each
year in Florence.
The $89-per-player entry
fee for the annual golf tour-
nament fundrasier includes
golf cart, hot dogs, beverages,
awards barbecue, Hole-In-
One Challenges and more.
Check-in for pre-regis-
tered participants, and on-
site registration for remain-
ing slots begins at 8 a.m., with
the start of the tournament
set for 10 a.m.
The scramble-style tour-
ney will feature hole-in-one
challenges, closest-to-the-pin
prizes on par-3 holes and a
$5,000 putting contest.
Entry forms are available
at Ocean Dunes Golf Links,
3345 Munsel Lake Road, the
Boys & Girls Club (1501 Air-
port Road) or online at www.
BGCWLC.org.
In addition to golfing, there
will also be the annual heli-
copter golf ball drop fund-
raiser at around 3:30 p.m. at
Ocean Dunes on tournament
day.
The grand prize for the ball
closest to (or in the hole) is
$1,500; second prize is $800
for the ball farthest away
from the hole.
Numbered golf balls are $5
each.
All proceeds from these
two events will go to sup-
port the Summer Brain Gain
Program, a fun and engaging
way for the club kids to re-
duce summer learning loss.
Not a golfer but want to
help out? Consider sponsor-
ing a child for the summer
program. A donation of $100
sends a child to the summer
program for a week, which
includes two hot meals and
a snack each day, fun-filled
project-based activities em-
phasizing math and literacy,
and a field trip.
For more information
about the tournament, golf
ball drop or how to sponsor
a child for the summer pro-
gram, call the Boys & Girls
Club at 541-902-0304.
