10A | SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2019 | SIUSLAW NEWS Holly Jolly Follies readies for auditions Open auditions for solo and spe- cialty act slots in this year’s Holly Jolly Follies will be held Saturday, Oct. 5, from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Chil- dren’s Repertory of Oregon Work- shops (CROW) Center for the Performing Arts, 3120 Highway 101 in Flor- ence. People should mark their calendar and begin working on the piece that they would like to audi- tion. “Please show us the ex- act piece you are proposing for the show,” says CROW Artistic Director Melanie Heard. “It does not need to be 100 percent finished, but just enough to show us what you have in mind.” Available categories will include: vocals, dances, poetry, comedy, skits or something that CROW is not yet aware of, but has always needed to add to the show. The best length for a finished piece is less than 3.5 minutes. People should bring music on a device such as an iPod, iPhone or MP3 player. An aux cord will be provided to connect to CROW’s Bluetooth speak- er, but CROW suggests bringing your own speak- er, just in case. All audi- tions must either have a holiday theme or fit with- in a holiday-themed show and must be fami- ly-friendly. Those who don’t wish to be a featured act or soloist can still participate. The 2019 Follies All- Cast Meeting will be held Monday, Nov. 4, at 6:30 p.m. at CROW. All are welcome to participate in the en- semble (group numbers), and those who are new to the stage are encouraged to join the fun. For more information, email Melanie Heard at crowtheatrekids@yahoo. com. The Follies will be performed Dec. 6 to 8 at the Florence Events Cen- ter. Soroptimists prepare a ‘Harvest for Education’ for this year Soroptimist Interna- tional of Florence’s fourth annual fundraiser will take place Saturday, Oct. 19, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Florence Events Cen- ter, 715 Quince St. Dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. and a no host bar will be available. This year’s theme is “Harvest for Education,” and people around the community are encour- aged to enter in a unique pumpkin that will be auc- tioned during the event. “We chose this theme because the name more actually reflects the rea- son behind the fundrais- er,” said Soroptimist Kat Rannow. “When I think of harvest time, I think of reaping the benefits of all the hard work that went into the crop. Harvest time is celebrating the good work. For the kids, we are rewarding them for their diligent studies, academic excellence and commitment to the com- munity through service.” During “Harvest for Education,” Soroptimists will hold a live auction, silent auction, pump- kin auction and dessert auction. To donate an item, sponsor a table or purchase tickets for the event, contact Cathy Di- etz at 541-902-319 or Frankie Jorgensen at 541- 999-8292. Tickets for individuals are $50, with sponsor- ships available for full or partial tables. Sponsor- ship forms will be due Friday, Sept. 20. All pumpkin artwork — carved, painted, papi- er-mâché, etc. — are due Friday, Sept. 27, to be included in official mar- keting of the event. The completed pumpkins will need to be delivered on or before Friday, Oct. 18. Proceeds from “Harvest for Education” go to sup- port scholarships for girls and women in the Siuslaw region, including gradu- ating high school seniors and women pursuing ed- ucational opportunities.

Hear about unique eco- system at library Sept. 26 Join David Moskowitz, photographer and author of the award-winning book “Caribou Rainfor- est: From Heartbreak to Hope” and producer of the film “Last Stand: The Vanishing Caribou Rain- forest,” at Siuslaw Public Library for a night of im- ages and stories from one of the world’s most unique terrestrial ecosystems. The presentation will take place on Thursday, Sept. 26, beginning at 6 p.m. in the Bromley Room at 1460 Ninth St. Found in the north- ern interior of the Pacific Northwest, the Caribou Rainforest is the only re- maining inland temper- ate rain forest on Planet Earth and home to one of the world’s most unique ecotypes of caribou. Moskowitz will focus his presentation on the efforts required to get his photographs while exploring the highlights, challenges, ethics of doc- umenting a vanishing species in a remote rain forest and the widely dif- ferent human cultures that call the region home. Over four years, Mos- kowitz has captured im- ages and recorded vid- eo in every season of the year in the Caribou Rainforest. From back country ski expeditions to multi-day canoe ex- cursions, to camera trap- ping in remote mountain valleys, he sought ways to capture the images that would tell the both in- spiring and heartbreak- ing story of a vanishing ecosystem. Along the way, he has joined researchers, log- gers, conservationists and First Nations wildlife stewards and activists. For more information, visit www.caribourainfor- est.org. Buying or Selling?
