Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center Quarterly Art Show

Call to Artists April 2019 “Dogs, Cats and Other Pets—With Their People or Without”

The Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center will host a show of artwork depicting dogs, cats and other pets—with or without their people. All breeds and styles of dogs and cats, or any other types of pets, with or without their human owners are subjects for the artist's consideration. Artists may enter 1-3 pieces using painting, collage, mixed media, drawing, photography or assemblage in all artistic styles: representational, abstract, or futuristic. All works must be able to be hung on the wall.

Please remember that art on the hospital walls is meant to entertain and de-stress the patients, families, staff and general visitors. It is not a venue for nudity, violence, morbidity, or a political soapbox. Thank you for your continued positive approach to art in these shows.

Show Calendar: Show runs April, May, June 2019

Reception: Sunday, April 7, 2019 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.

Delivery of Art: Wednesday, April 3, 2019 2 p.m.

Earthly Delights (Your mother can know about!)

Come early for Macaw feather earings and support a poor suffering bird with sinus trouble so he can spread his wings and swear like a sailor. It's both cultural and educational. Where else would school children hear such language? Do you want them to pick it up in the school yard?

Unpaid Undeterred

Helping our Coast Guard Neighbors

Many have been concerned about how to best help those in our community who provide needed services to us on a daily basis and who are negatively impacted by the government shutdown.  We found out today that assistance can be provided to those who are in the Coast Guard and are in need through the Chief Petty Officers Association.  It’s a non-profit located at the North Bend sector and they are allowed to take donations and distribute them to the Coast Guard members that need them the most. If you would like to mail a check or money order or a gift card, please address your envelope to Chief Petty Officer Association, North Bend Sector, 2000 Connecticut Avenue, North Bend, Oregon 97459.

The Chief Petty Officers Association here in North Bend can take donations for any sector that you would like so please specify whether you are wishing it to go to the North Bend sector, or the Coos Bay Small Boat sector.  Mr. Sweetman has already contacted all the different sectors and composed a list of the Coast Guard members most needing help.

Free, free, free

Don't miss free family day at the Coos History Museum!

You can't beat free and besides its a chance to meet the new staff member and make him feel welcome. Shelby Chase is the brand new events manager and will be working with all of the many events on the horizon.

Football season is grinding to a halt and now that Da Bears have been eliminate there's really no reason to stay and watch those long, commercial filled broadcasts. So get out your rain gear and come to teh Coos History Museum
