COVERED
Oregon Dunes DAR to get update on Military Museum
Oregon Dunes Daugh-
ters of the American Rev-
olution (DAR) members
will listen to an update
on museum activities and
exhibits from Tim Sapp,
board president, and Geoff
Canon, chief of staff, of
the Oregon Coast Military
Museum during a program
for the Friday, Nov. 15,
meeting at New Life Lu-
theran Church.
According to Canon, the
museum’s “Women in the
Military” area has added an
educational film detailing
the service of the WASPs
during the Second World
War with seating.
In addition, the 1957 Ad-
dressograph Graphotype
6400, donated by a local
family, has been repaired
and can produce authentic
reproduction dog tags.
The local chapter of DAR
has supported the muse-
um since it was conceived.
Earlier this year, members
planted a garden on the
museum grounds specifi-
cally to attract pollinating
in-sects.

six years, and many mem-
bers have assisted at several
museum events.
DAR is a non-profit,
non-political
volunteer
women’s service organiza-
tion dedicated to promot-
ing patriotism, preserving
American history and se-
curing America’s future
through better education
for our children.
Recently the chapter,
along with members of the
community, packaged 37
“Love Boxes” and sent them
to active duty deployed mil-
itary members.
One of the soldiers sent
this message, “Ma’am, Just
received your package to-
day. I cannot thank you
enough for the time and
money y’all spent to send
this package over here. I
have shared the three pack-
ages with the rest of the
guys over here. They really
appreciate everything. All
the items will be put into
good use. Again, thank
you to everyone involved
into putting the packages
together and have a great
day.”
All are welcome to attend
the DAR meeting and learn
more about the Oregon
Coast Military Museum
on Friday, Nov. 15. For the
time, contact Karen Childs
at 541-997-7154.

Today, Nov. 13, begin-
ning at 1 p.m., Jennifer Ew-
ing will speak to the Flor-
ence Garden Club about
“Pollinators in the Garden.”
It is common knowl-
edge that bees, butterflies
and other pollinators are
in peril. The use of pesti-
cides, lack of diversity in
agriculture and landscape
systems, along with chang-
es in climate, all add to en-
dangering those beneficials
that are need in the natural
environment.

Applications available for annual Giving Tree
Area teenagers benefit
each year from the Giving
Tree, hosted for the sev-
enth year by Twin Lakes
Store. Teens from ages 12
to 18 are invited to fill out
a wish list and submit back
to Twin Lakes Store, where
the community is encour-
aged to use the wish list as
a guide to shop for a teen.
“Phase one is in effect
now,” said Vicki Ambrosio,
founder of the annual Teen
Giving Tree. “We started
fund raising Oct. 1. Now
we need the teens to fill out
the wish list and get them
back so we can start shop-
ping.”
The rules have changed
this year. Previously, the
Giving Tree was limited to
the Northern Lakes area
of Florence. The event has
been expanded with a new
goal of purchasing gifts for
100 teens that live in the
Siuslaw School District.
A wish list/application
is now available at Twin
Lakes Store. Each is num-
bered and used to track the
gifts for anonymity purpos-
es. Applications need to be
returned to Twin Lakes be-
fore Thanksgiving.
Phase two — the shop-
ping — begins the day after
Thanksgiving. That is when
the public is encouraged to
come in and look over the
wishes then choose one to
purchase for.
“The rules are easy,” said
Ambrosio. “You do not
need to fulfill the teen’s en-
tire wish list, although we
have had many community
members do just that.”
People are asked to sim-
ply buy what they are able.
“We keep track of the
gifts and Twin Lakes shops
to fill in the gaps,” Ambro-
sio said.
Stop by Twin Lakes Store,
located on Highway 101
north of Florence, anytime
to pick up an application/
wish list.
Teens are encouraged to
seriously consider their list
of needs and wants, includ-
ing any educational sup-
plies.
A new location for the
distribution party will be at
the Siuslaw Valley Fire and
Rescue Main Station on
Highway 101 at 23rd Street
on Thursday, Dec. 19.
The party starts at 6 p.m.
sharp and lasts until 7:30
p.m. Rides are available
upon requests.
All gifts will be given di-
rectly to teenagers. Abso-
lutely no gifts will be given
to adults on their behalf.
Teens must be present to
claim each of the gifts or
notify Twin Lakes if unable
to make it to the party.
For more information, to
help with fundraising or to
inquire for a teen, call Twin
Lakes Store at 541-997-
3021.
And a special thank you to Jim Mitchell, MC extraordinare!
