12A | WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2020 | SIUSLAW NEWS FRAA makes donation to Siuslaw bands Florence Regional Arts Alliance (FRAA) donated $648 to Siuslaw middle and high school band programs. The funds were raised from FRAA’s Christmas tree or- nament sales. FRAA, a non-profit or- ganization, supports all the arts, including outreach to area youth. A check was presented to Chris Row- botham, Director of Bands for Siuslaw Middle School and High School, by FRAA president Kristin Anderson and several board mem- bers. Accompanying Rowboth- am during the presentation was Siuslaw Middle School counselor Sarah Girard, who described Rowbotham as “a caring and compas- sionate teacher” who in- spires excellence in his stu- dents and makes Siuslaw’s band program “one of the best in the state.” Recently, several band Special events made easy!

Rowbotham thanked FRAA for its donation, which will help students to be in band performances. “The funds donated by FRAA are earmarked to get instruments in the hands of kids that may need assis- tance,” he explained. Between the middle and high school, there are a to- tal of 118 band students. Future band performances include March 16, when middle school students will perform, and April 27, when high school students will perform. Both performances will be held at the Florence Events Center. “These are excellent op- portunities to enjoy incred- ible performances,” said Gi- rard. Other band events in- clude marching in the Rhody Days and Veteran’s Day parades. Florence In Bloom Valentine Package Special $125.00 One Dozen Roses One Bottle of Wine One 9pc Moonstruck Chocolate Truffl es Wedding vow renewals to be held at Yachats’ Log Church “Remembrance, Re-Vi- sion, and Renewal” will be the theme of the annual Ceremony of Renewal and Commitment to be held on Friday, Feb. 14, at the Little Log Church in Yachats. This will be the 25th year the Log Church has offered couples the opportunity to renew their vows in a group setting. Both married and unmarried committed cou- ples are invited to attend. Once again, the Log Church will offer the cere- mony at two times: The first at noon and the second at 5:30 p.m. Mary Crook, the inde- pendent minister who has facilitated the event since the tradition began, said that hundreds of couples have come to Yachats to renew their vows over the years. “For some couples it is a first-time experience; for others it has become an an- nual tradition — something fun and meaningful to do on Valentine’s Day,” Crook said. Local violinist Ruth Mock will provide music for the group at the noon ceremo- ny. Popular local guitarist Richard Sharpless, also of Yachats, will play a selec- tion of romantic pieces at 5:30 p.m. Couples attending will be given a certificate as a memento of the occasion. The Valentine’s Day vow renewal has become a pop- ular fundraiser for the Lit- tle Log Church, which will undergo a complete reno- vation in the near future. A donation to the museum of $20 per couple is suggested. Since space is limited, reservations are required. For reservations, call Crook at 541-547-4547.
