SUMMARY:Building Hope\, One Brick at a Time: The Power of Radical Neighborliness - Lucinda Tayor\, Presenter
DESCRIPTION:Lucinda Taylor\n\nHabitat for Humanity isn’t just a construction crew; it’s a global powerhouse of radical neighborliness. They operate on the belief that a roof over one’s head is the foundation for everything else—health\, education\, and financial stability. \nHere is a look at how they turn blueprints into breakthroughs: \n1. Sweat Equity\, Not Handouts\nHabitat doesn’t just “give away” houses. They partner with families who are willing to put in the work. \n\nThe “Sweat” Part: Future homeowners invest hundreds of hours of sweat equity\, physically helping to build their own homes and the homes of their neighbors.\nThe “Equity” Part: Families purchase their homes through affordable mortgages. It’s a hand-up\, designed to break the cycle of poverty through true ownership.\n\n2. Building Community\, One Nail at a Time\nAs seen in projects like the Garden Estates neighborhood\, Habitat brings together a “motley crew” of volunteers—from corporate teams and retirees to elected officials and local students. It’s one of the few places where you’ll see a CEO and a college freshman side-by-side\, covered in sawdust\, working toward the same goal. \n3. Sustainability and Innovation\nThey are constantly evolving how they tackle the housing crisis. For instance\, Habitat for Humanity of Lincoln County has adopted a permanent affordability model. This land-lease program ensures that even if a family eventually moves\, the home remains affordable for the next low-income buyer\, protecting the community’s investment for generations. \n4. The “ReStore” Revolution\nIf you love a good DIY project\, you probably know the Habitat ReStore. These are home improvement centers that sell donated furniture\, appliances\, and building materials to the public. \n\nThe Win-Win: You get a bargain\, usable items stay out of landfills\, and the proceeds go directly back into funding local home builds.\n\n5. A Global Footprint\nWhile you might see them working in your own backyard\, Habitat operates in 70 countries. Whether they are rebuilding after a natural disaster or advocating for smarter housing laws at the government level\, their mission is simple: a world where everyone has a decent place to live. \n\nHow to Get Involved \nYou don’t need to be a master carpenter to help. Organizations like HFHLC are always looking for: \n\nVolunteers: For framing\, painting\, or office support.\nDonors: To fund materials for new projects.\nShoppers: To visit their ReStores and keep the cycle of building moving.\n\nAre you looking to volunteer your time on a build site\, or are you more interested in the advocacy and donation side of the organization?

SUMMARY:“More than you ever need to know about Accordions” - Geoff Levear\, Presenter
DESCRIPTION:Geoff Levear\nThe Accordion: History\, Mechanics\, and Versatility \nIntroduction\nThis presentation will explore the history of the accordion\, as well as explain how the instrument produces its distinctive sound. \nHow Accordions Work\nWe will take a look inside the accordion to understand the internal mechanisms responsible for generating sound. The way the instrument is constructed plays a significant role in its unique tonal qualities. \nRegional Differences in Sound\nAccordions from different regions—such as Italy\, France\, Germany\, and China—each have their own characteristic sound. We will discover how these differences arise depending on where the instrument is made. \nThe Mystery of the Buttons\nAnother aspect we will address is the abundance of buttons on the accordion. We will learn why there are so many and what functions they serve. \nBeyond Oktoberfest: Accordion Versatility\nFinally\, we will see that the accordion is not limited to Oktoberfest or traditional folk music. In fact\, this instrument can fit into any genre\, highlighting its remarkable adaptability. \n

SUMMARY:The Oregon Cultural Trust - Niki Price\, Presenter
DESCRIPTION:Niki Price\nWhere else but Oregon would you find a statewide program to protect cultural vitality?\nCreated in 2001 by the Oregon Legislature\, the Oregon Cultural Trust is a testimony to how much Oregonians value culture. No other state provides a 100 percent tax credit to inspire cultural giving. \nAs uniquely Oregonian as public beaches and the bottle bill\, the Oregon Cultural Trust was established by the Oregon Legislature as an ongoing funding engine for arts and culture across the state. \nOregonians fund the Cultural Trust. We\, in turn\, fund the artists\, potters\, rappers\, acrobats and dreamers who make Oregon\, Oregon. \nIn 2023 Oregonians gave $5.4 million to the Cultural Trust! Sixty percent of that went straight back to the field. The remaining 40 percent helped grow our permanent fund. \nOur three grant programs fund our five Statewide Partners\, 45 County and Tribal Coalitions and qualified cultural nonprofits through competitive Cultural Development Grants. \nNo other state in the union has this incredible benefit. Lucky Oregonians! \n
