Hello Everyone,

On Monday, September 24th paintout will be 1 – 4 p.m. around and nearby Coquille River Lighthouse, Bandon.  You can set up in the lighthouse parking lot or if you would like a more protected area--- instead of taking the right turn into the main parking lot, take the dirt road that continues southerly a few hundred feet to the riverbank that faces Bandon (just to the east of the lighthouse).

We can’t pass up painting the lighthouse at least once a year.  J
Sorry I won’t be able to join you due to work.

My phone number is 541-297-6118 if you have questions.
Thanks.
Ava
