We are supported by local businesses, service clubs, churches, and residents of the area. Now we are asking for volunteers to join us on our work day, which is July 11. We begin at the United Presbyterian Church, 2360 Longwood Drive, Reedsport, with a good breakfast at 7.30 a.m. A lunch at noon will be provided by the Catholic Church, on St. John's Way. All who would like to help in this project are asked to fill in the volunteer form as soon as possible to allow us to schedule workers to the appropriate locations.
The forms can be downloaded from the website, or obtained from the Family Resource Center at 5 St. John's Way (phone #271 9700), or Church of God 2191 Birch Avenue phone # 271 3928. Details are printed on the forms. A separate referral form is provided for homeowners needing home repairs to be made, and is available from the same sources. There is still time for these to be turned in.
The success of this vital mission is dependent upon support from our Reedsport area volunteers. Areas of work interest are outlined on the forms, from basic skills to team leaders with the ability to oversee simple projects. We appreciate ALL our volunteers and contributors.

The Oregon Divisional Chainsaw Sculpting Championship will be held June 18-21 at Rainbow Plaza in Reedsport. Welcome to the best carving competition in the West! This years show promises to be the best yet as some of the best carvers from around the globe gather in Reedsport to compete for four days to see who will be this year's top artist!
We have adopted Oregon's sesquicentennial theme, "Oregon 150", as our theme for this year's competition in honor of Oregon's 150th induction into Statehood! This will be an exciting theme that will allow the creativity of the carvers to take you in a number of directions.
This remarkable carving competition will feature the daily "quick carve" competitions that have become one of the crowd favorites! These seventy-five minute "mini-competitions" are fascinating to watch and a must see for spectators.
Carvers from around the world will take "Art To The Extreme" in this exciting four day competition. Carving starts at 8:00 am daily with a daily quick carve exhibition at 10:45 am and a daily chainsaw sculpting auction at 5:30 pm Thursday through Saturday and 12:30 on Sunday. The event will also include a vendor fair and boat show. There will be a Corvette Car Show on Saturday located in Downtown Reedsport.
