Because last year's virtual Gathering was surprisingly enjoyable, we'll give it a similar go Thursday, Friday and Saturday this February 24-26. Though we won’t all meet in Astoria again this winter, we hope that diasporic fisherpoets and friends will gather someplaces locally and safely in twos, threes or twenties, to perform for each other in the weeks before FPG 2022 to encourage new voices, hear old favorites and kindle the collective creativity we look forward to enjoying together again in Astoria. As we learn about such gatherings, we’ll include information about those that are public. As plans shape up you'll find information about the 2022 FisherPoets Gathering at <a href="http://www.fisherpoets.org" target="_blank">http://www.fisherpoets.org</a></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>DebA: SPECIAL EVENT Second Sunday Concert.

Some 7 years ago, I began scanning my old negatives, slides and prints - along with some documents. I divided things by year. In 2017 my first posting included everything I had found and scanned from 1975. As time has permitted, I have slowly but steadily been posting another year each time I have completed one. A couple weeks ago, I completed and posted 1990 - the year the new Chamber Building/Community Hall was opened to the public. At this morning's Zoom meeting I shared my screen. The link here will drop you into 1990 at the announcement inviting people to the <a href="https://gvfa.smugmug.com/LookingBack/1990/i-sFdf2wG/A" target="_blank">Grand Opening of the Chamber Building/Community Hall</a>.

It was essential to warn people to stay off the beach. It could not be known exactly when and how big a swell would be created by the underwater volcano in the Pacific. A lot was learned from the experience. A verbal warning over the COWS speakers was attempted, but instead set off the siren which ran automatically for 3 minutes. People had not been trained on the COWS early warning system for 10 years. Work needs to be done on the system and in training. BruceStD: The City had a workshop on COWS Tuesday and will be doing another next week. </div><div dir="ltr" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:-webkit-standard"><br></div>RickH: <span style="font-size:11pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">On Saturday during an actual Tsunami event we were sending out messages throughout the morning.

The CNL is used to stay connected to the city for upcoming events, safety messages, sever weather announcements, and emergency management trainings for community safety. This is in an email and advisory format only. If the information in the CNL announcements are emergent they are usually placed onto the city web site and onto the City of Cannon Beach Facebook page. We did use this formation to notify members early in the Tsunami event, but this is only sent to those who sign up for the CNL. By signing up for all three formats you will be covered here locally / regionally. There are outside the area notification formats that we will send out later this month. We want you to be notified and informed locally for immediate safety results.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="font-size:11pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="font-size:11pt"><a href="https://www.ci.cannon-beach.or.us/emergencymgmt/webform/sign-community-notification-list" target="_blank">https://www.ci.cannon-beach.or.us/emergencymgmt/webform/sign-community-notification-list</a></span></p><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:-webkit-standard"><br></div>JeanieMc: An emergency situation like this is when neighbors need to be helping neighbors. <br><br><div dir="ltr">JeneePM: The next Red Cross Blood Drive is March 15 from 10am to 3pm - once again at the Chamber Community Hall - 207 N Spruce.

I have managed the list [now 264 strong] and have hosted it on what was my business site before closing Crack Me Up! and El Mundo For Men after 35 years. Three years ago Paula and I moved to Bend. In the past 12 months we sold our Cannon Beach home and our commercial property - Village Centre. I took the WMM notes up until Hannah of Sea Breeze court stepped up. Besides taking notes, Hannah has hosted the Zoom meetings since Covid-19 crashed into our lives. Hannah is no longer available to host or take notes. No, it is not a health issue. I am soliciting someone (or ones) to take her place. Please let me know if you are willing to step up to either do the Zoom hosting or take the notes - or both.
