What: Bench Project Completion Celebration
Where: Old Towne Reedsport, Next to Post Office
When: Friday, May 4th, 1:00 PM
Come join us on Friday May 4th in Old Towne Reedsport to celebrate our completion of the Bench Project. It has been really fun and a great learning experience for us and we would like to invite the community to attend our celebration event. We will be thanking the people who donated everything from soup to nuts. We are also going to be thanking those who purchased bricks to help raise the $500 we needed so that the Ford Foundation would match another $500. Without all these people helping out, the nearly $12,000 project wouldn't have been so successful. So successful in fact that there is now a bench in each community of Reedsport, Lakeside, Gardiner, and Winchester Bay. So, take a few minutes and stop by for the Celebration. "Life's a Bench, Take a Seat".

The era of the big bands will be recalled musically in the second half of the Spring Pops concert by the Oregon Coast Chamber Orchestra (OCCO). The Reedsport concert is scheduled for Sunday, May 6, at 2 P.M. The concert will be held at the Pacific Auditorium, located on the campus of the Reedsport Community Charter Schools.

The heyday of the large (15-20 musicians) jazz and/or dance bands of the late 1930s into the 1960s will be remembered through contemporary orchestrations by Charles Perkins, John Monks and Robin DeVour. Included are "Snowfall," (Claude Thornhill,) "Topsy," (Count Basie,) "Memphis Blues," (Harry James) and "String of pearls," (Glenn Miller.)
New compositions by Perkins and appearances by several Oregon jazz soloists are also a part of the program.

Hello Braves fans!
This Friday is the annual Jack Blum Invitational Track Meet at Ruppe Field.
This year marks 50 years since the 1962 Braves won State Championships under Coach Blum's guidance.
As always, we are seeking volunteers to help make the events run smoothly and efficiently.
Our Ruppe Field is viewed as a top-notch facility by the increasing number of schools we compete against. This year we will be hosting 11 teams.
The great volunteer support we receive from the community helps us earn a great reputation for running a well-managed event.
We hope you will consider giving a few hours of your time Friday afternoon to help in our effort.
If you can help, please contact RHS track coach Jennifer Wright at this address: JWright@reedsport.k12.or.us
