Neighbors helping neighbors, is exactly what Christmas in July is about! Christmas in July's mission is to preserve and revitalize houses in our community, assuring that low income homeowners from elderly and disabled to needy families with children, live in warmth and safety. And this November you can have fun and enjoy yourself at the same time that you extend your help to the elderly, the handicapped and the needy in our community!

• Beavers beverage tote and garden gnome
• Duck's tapestry throw
• Large Cabelas plush throw and a couple of smaller snowflake throws
• Down alternative king comforter

Compassionate merchants in our community often contribute gift cards or other special things for the raffles and auctions and we appreciate the fact that their contributions are the backbone of support for this event.

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION
I work in the Exhibits department at the Museum of Natural and Cultural History on the U of O campus in Eugene. We are currently developing a bead and beadwork exhibit that will go up in May 2014. We will be showing examples of beadwork from our Collections. Pieces range from necklaces from all of the world, to various examples of Native American Plains, Metis/Dene, and Oregon Tribal work. We are interested in showing contemporary beadwork along with what we are showing from our Collections. I was wondering if you knew of any bead artists who may want to participate. If you don't know of any, but you could pass along this information to other people, that would be greatly appreciated.
The work would have to be loaned for a little over a year, starting in late March/ early April 2014 and going until late May/early June 2015. A short bio and written component as to why beads/beadwork are an important material choice/technique in the work would be required. Pieces will be protected under plexiglass cases and a contract would be crafted by the museum and the U of O for responsibility of the work. Although the museum cannot offer you money for the piece on display, there may be an opportunity to sell other pieces in our store.
If artists are interested in participating, I would need to know by November 6th at the very latest what piece(s) they are submitting for consideration. I would need a title, image of the work(s), and approximate cost of shipping of the piece(s) with insurance.
