Subject: hi all

i am sending this email because theres a call to artists by the Florence Area Humane Society,  they  have a concrete wall they would like to have a painting on by  local  artists. i am  willing and hope there are artists out there who would be willing  to  donate, time or money for the art supplies to  paint this wall. maybe we could  raise money  to  do this. So  whose in???  it could be alot of fun and  for a good cause too. heres what they  said on  Facebook "Calling all artists!

Here's a unique opportunity to help the Florence Area Humane Society!

We are looking for someone who can help us beautify our dog kennels by painting a mural on our now drab cement walls. We are thinking an outdoor theme like the pictures below would be nice but we are also open to other ideas.

Please contact us if you may be interested! heart emoticon

P.S. Check out this cute cat at the Coos County Animal shelter too!

Barnstormers to Play for Coos Bay Contra Dance

Contra dancing is coming to Coos Bay this Saturday, December 5, at 7 o’clock.  This light-hearted form of social dancing is easy to learn, and lots of fun for the whole family.  There will be three hours of live music at the Harding Learning Center located at 755 South 7th.  For this special event, a guest caller from Roseburg, Woody Lane, will teach every move and figure you need to know.  Woody is an experienced caller with an exciting repertoire of dances.  He will give a lesson at 7PM, and first timers who show up for this lesson will receive a ticket for free admission to their next dance.
Contra dancing in Coos Bay is sponsored by the South Coast Folk Society.  They invite the public to enjoy a full evening of contra, circle and square dances.  Singles, couples and families are all welcome, and no partner is needed. The music for this month’s Community Contra Dance will be provided by The Eugene Barnstormers.  The Barnstormers are a perennial favorite of the local dance community.  Their infectious rhythms will make you feel like dancing all night.  They play lively old-timey music which blends seamlessly with Woody’s calling.
The Folk Society hosts Contra Dances every first Saturday at the Harding Learning Center, and every third Saturday at the Greenacres Grange.   Both venues offer a full evening of social dancing to great live music.  These events are alcohol and fragrance free.  Refreshments are available.  Doors open at 6:45PM.  Admission: General $7, Students w/ID and Seniors over 60 $6, Members $5, and Supervised Children under 6 are free.
