The Mindpower Gallery is excited to announce its second wine  tasting event of the year. Our second tasting of the year is with Delfino vineyards from Roseburg, Or. Owners Jim and Terri Delfino came to the Umpqua Valley in 2000 and planted the 18 acres that make up the Hillside and Creekside vineyards. In 2009 they opened their charming tasting room, which reflects the warmth of a Tuscan sunset as it overlooks the beautiful vineyard, lake and its mountain views. They have 7 varietals planted, Tempranello, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, an Italian grape Dolcetto, Zinfindel, Merlot, and Muller Thurgau. .  Part of the Delfino vineyard is dedicated to a Southern Oregon University research program which includes additional red and white varietals.They are also partnered with the Umpqua Community College Southern Oregon Wine Institute, which enables the students to work in the industry and earn extra credits.
 
This wine tasting will be a red wine tasting, as the winery is currently out of their white wines. Join us Friday February 27th from 5-7 pm in welcoming Delfino vineyards to the Mindpower Gallery,  enjoy tasting the wine, and taking a bottle home with you. The Mindpower Gallery is located on Hwy 38, at 417 Fir Ave, Reedsport, Oregon. 97467. For more information call 541-271-2485

Dental Clinic Receives Three Rivers Foundation Grant
 
The Rotary Club of Reedsport is excited to announce that its dental clinic received a $10,000 grant from the Three Rivers Foundation, the giving arm of the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians, to continue to promote its free dental care to children and adults residing within boundaries of the Reedsport School District.
 
Upon learning about the grant, Dr. Goorhuis said that he was "excited."  With the additional funds, Dr. Goorhuis will plan to hold more clinics.  He went on to say, that instead of three to four times a year, he "will be adding more clinics and hopes to hold them every other month." 
 
Dr. Gerhard Goorhuis, and his assistant, Bonnie Gentle, provide the dental care for children and adults in need.  The next dental clinic is being scheduled for February 20th and 21st.  The Family Resource Center processes applications for those seeking an appointment.  If you are interested in seeing if you are eligible, contact the Family Resource Center at 541-271-9700.
 
The Dental Clinic is supported through tax deductible donations and grants (when available).  If you are interested in financially supporting this very worth while cause and much needed service, send your donation to Reedsport Rotary Foundation at PO Box 91, Reedsport, OR, 97467.  The Reedsport Rotary Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charity.

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION
 

This is a friendly reminder for our upcoming meeting dates and times. 
 
The Reedsport Main Street Program has been gathering steam these past few months. We have three committees that are chipping away at projects in different areas that are all working towards the same goal of revitalizing Reedsport and encouraging growth. The Reedsport Main Street Program is a community-driven approach to commercial district revitalization. Being a part of this program gives you, the community members, the opportunity to shape that growth and be a part of a collaborative effort to Renew Reedsport.
 
I wanted to remind everyone of the upcoming meeting and event dates. There has been a LOT of projects developing and increased participation at meetings. The Reedsport Main Street Committee Meetings are ALWAYS open to the public and community participation is encouraged. Attending a meeting does not mean that you are obligated to stay on the committee. We are always happy to have new community members attend our meetings to hear about projects, ideas, and offer support.

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION
 
UMPQUA VALLEY AUDUBON FIELD TRIP – MILDRED KANIPE MEMORIAL PARK – SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21
 
FIELD TRIP: MILDRED KANIPE MEMORIAL PARK (NE OF OAKLAND)
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2015, 0830-1030
 
There are enough trails and habitats at this park to spend days here, but this will be a short introduction to habitats and birds within a mile of the main parking area. We hope to see Lewis's Woodpeckers, which sometimes winter here, as well as a variety of other regular winter birds. You will likely need boots, or at least hiking shoes, as the trails can sometimes be muddy. After a couple hours birding, you can continue on your own at the park or elsewhere, or follow me for short stops at Plat I Reservoir and Ford's Pond "on the way home." Meet in the main parking area off Elkhead Road (w/caretaker residence and peacocks) at 0830. Questions? Contact Matt Hunter 541-670-1984, matthewghunter@gmail.com.
