LRP’s storytelling
Library
series returns to FEC Tidings
Hearkening back to ver-
bal storytelling, the Last
Resort Players will be pre-
senting its third episode of
“Based On A True Story”
(BOATS) Friday and Satur-
day, March 27 and 28, on
the flat floor of the Florence
Events Center, 715 Quince
St.
Starting time for both
days is 7 p.m.
The stories to be pre-
sented are again based on
real-life experiences of
members of the Florence
community.
These include airplane
travel from the perspec-
tive of both the pilot and a
white-knuckle passenger; a
saddle-eye view of eastern
Oregon from a man clutch-
ing a deer-hunting rifle; and
one day spent following
military protocol during a
pre-induction army physi-
cal.
Informative, educational
and often funny, these are
stories many can relate to
and are sure to enjoy.
Flat floor seating will be
set up with the FEC’s bis-
tro tables so that attendees
can enjoy both the food and
beverages available for pur-
chase.
The cast of BOATS in-
cludes Brian Cole, Sally
Wantz, Larry Farnsworth,
Linda Yoder, Ken Janowski,
Jacquelyn Serrano, Laura
Merz and Kathleen Wenzel.
Each story runs about 10
minutes with a short inter-
mission featuring piano se-
lections by Chris Lewis and
Rhianna Haines.
Tickets are available now
at the FEC box office for $15
by calling 541-997-1994 or
visiting the FEC website at
www.eventcenter.org.

The library will be offer-
ing three classes in begin-
ning genealogy in March
and April.
The first class on Tuesday,
March 24, from 2 to 4 p.m.,
will be “Beginning Geneal-
ogy.” The second class will
be held Tuesday, March 31,
from 2 to 4 p.m., and will
cover “Finding and Using
Records.” The third and fi-
nal class will be Tuesday,
April 14, from 2 to 4 p.m.,
with the focus on “DNA and
Genealogy.”
As all three classes will be
held in the Bromley Room,
pre-registration is not re-
quired. While the classes
presume no previous ex-
perience with genealogy,
those who wish to refresh
their knowledge are wel-
come.
And, while the classes can
be taken independently of
each other, it’s best to take
all three in order.
The classes are free and
open to the general public.

Thinking about downsizing?
Moving to a smaller home can mean more money in the bank. In
addition to income from the sale of your previous home, savings on
property taxes, insurance, and utility bills can add up to significant savings.
In addition to saving money, a smaller home can simplify your life and
allow you to focus on the things or people you love the most.
Contact your Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Northwest Real Estate
broker to discuss your options. We can help.
