With Wings

Episode Highlights:

With Wings lifts off with two hometown forces for good: the North Lincoln Eagles, rallying the community through their holiday toy drive and Christmas baskets, and Angels Anonymous, whose Angel’s Ball turns generosity into a celebration with heart.

RR 2:19

Happy holidays is something to talk about already because we are making the holidays happier for a lot of children. And one organization that is really at the forefront of that is the uh Eagles Lodge right here in Lincoln City. Two ladies have joined us, uh Nancy White and Elena Jones. Elena, thanks for being here.

Elana Jones 2:37

Thank you for inviting me.

RR 2:39

Now, you are out to raise money to get toys for the children in North Lincoln County, correct?

Elana Jones 2:45

Uh correct. Uh actually the North Lincoln Eagles partners with the North Lincoln Fire and Rescue. They put out the toy boxes at the different businesses, and uh we do the food and we put it together and then they help us deliver the food baskets and toys.

RR 3:07

It's quite an operation.

Elana Jones 3:09

Yes. Uh it takes us two weeks to put it together. Uh we work at the St. Peter's Lutheran Church. Uh they donate their activity center downstairs, and we have that for two weeks. And so the first part of the the two weeks we work on toys. The fire department brings the toys in, and then we sort them and put them with families in age-appropriate gifts for the children.

RR 3:32

So, how do we know what goes where? What toys go to family XYZ?

Elana Jones 3:38

Well, we have uh shoppers and we get applications from the parents. Okay. And we hopefully get some ideas from the parents as to what those children want. And we try to keep our toys between the $25, $30, $35 range. Uh, so we obviously are not going to give them an Xbox or or something in that price range, but and we try to do uh three toys per child from birth to 17 and then we wrap all the toys. We have wrappers that come in and volunteer their time to wrap all those toys because you know we have probably well last year we did 325 families, and in that there is probably six hundred and fifty children. Uh so that's a lot of gift wrapping.

RR 4:32

So right now you're doing the toy drive. That's the the opening part of it, and so you got barrels all over town?

Elana Jones 4:39

Yes, the the fire department will pick put them out, and then they pick up the toys, and then we move into the church on December the sixth, and then they will start bringing the toys to us. We first organize them in groups of you know, age groups, boys and girls, and then when we start getting the applications in, then we have shoppers that go out and look at the tables and pick up stuff that would be appropriate for those children. Our applications will probably be out about the 19th century.

RR 5:13

Where we want to get an application.

Elana Jones 5:15

Okay, the applications are on the North Lincoln Eagles website, uh, which is North Lincoln Eagles 2576.com. They're available at the North Fire Hall, they're available at the Eagles Lodge, and also at Les Schwab.

RR 5:30

You've got all of these children that are in need. Parents say that that are in need of things for the children. So we're gathering the toys, we wrap the toys, we deliver the toys. It's rather significant.

Elana Jones 5:45

Uh it is. It is just really and and there's also uh they get food for a week approximately uh with turkey, turkey breast, ham for holiday dinner. And so the families of one, two, and three usually get like one food box, and uh larger families get two food boxes. Sometimes the larger families get like a two turkeys, sometimes they'll get one plus a ham, uh, just depending on the size of the family.

RR 6:16

No, uh correct me if I'm uh wrong, but this program started with the uh elks before the elks uh w went away for a period of time, correct?

Elana Jones 6:25

Uh we used to partner uh with the elks. The Eagles actually started doing it in 1986. Another couple and my husband and I started with four families that we did in 1986, and it's grown now to we do probably 325.

RR 6:41

Families or children?

Elana Jones 6:42

Families.

RR 6:43

Wow.

Elana Jones 6:44

Uh the elks closed in 2015. They used to do the north end of town, and the Eagles would do the south end of town. And when they closed, then the Eagles took over, and we do from the Van Doozer Corridor uh on this side of it to the Solets River Bridge.

RR 7:04

Now, Nancy, you some of the money has to be raised because it's not just all given away, and you do that with music.

Nancy Wyatt 7:12

Well, we do that with music to help with uh children's clothing. I mean, a lot of kids, a lot of families, they need clothing for their children. They need warm warmies, they need sweatshirts, they need things like that. But we get a lot of money by doing our auction and raising money throughout the year. But one of the things we have Bluegrass is night at the Eagles Lodge from six to eight every Tuesday. And that group this summer raised over eleven hundred dollars just to help the Christmas baskets. So we have a lot of different groups within the Eagles that try to help make this all possible.

RR 7:54

Do you have to be a member of the Eagles to go in and enjoy the bluegrass?

Nancy Wyatt 7:58

No, just come and sign in at the desk and make sure that they know that you know you're here for the music and it's free and it's some amazing musicians.

RR 8:09

We're gonna have you back on uh on a future podcast as well to talk about the history of the Nelscott Strip, uh Nelscott area, because the Eagles Lodge has been there since the 1900s, early well, since 1920.

Elana Jones 8:24

1923.

RR 8:25

1923.

Nancy Wyatt 8:26

It's got a great history.

Elana Jones 8:28

And the the building, the logs were logged off the property that built the building. And it used to be an auto park where people would come and camp. And then during the Depression, it was a a soup kitchen. And then two families, the Nelson family and the Scott family that made up Nelson donated it to the Eagles in 1972.

RR 8:55

What a history.

Elana Jones 8:56

And that's and then that's where that building ha uh you know came from. Um, you know, we have added on to it. But it's it's pretty amazing, I think, on the inside. That's the biggest activity for the year, the the toy drive and then we also do a scholarship to the Taft School and also career tech, they could apply for it too.

Nancy Wyatt 9:20

Yeah, sadly they kind of burnt out. Yeah, but we gave um nine scholarships of a thousand dollars each last year. We're really thankful for Frank Napoleon. His Hawaiian breakfast has been a great uh draw and moneymaker, and so he is our big money maker for our lodge for the scholarships. But we named the scholarship the Angie Thompson Memorial Scholarship Fund because Angie Thompson was an amazing school teacher who, when she retired, wanted to do things for the children of Lincoln City, and she started all these scholarship uh programs, and so when she passed, we renamed the scholarship for her.

RR 10:09

Again, the activity is underway as we speak, raising money, uh getting toys, getting wrapping paper, uh the whole bit because it's not that far away.

Elana Jones 10:21

No, it's not. Uh and I did uh we apply for grants. We've applied for a grant through the city. Uh we just received confirmation that we're going to get a drug a grant from the Soletz Tribe, their charitable contribution foundation, and Lush Schwab helps us with raising money for turkeys mainly. Mo's they sell cookies, buy toys with the money they raise for cookies they sell. So and then the factory stores uh usually give us we buy gift cards there and then they'll usually kick in an extra amount. Um we have a give a damn day at Shuckers that uh Mark Romer uh does. So we have people from all over town that work with us and and help us. Otherwise, we could not do this on our own. We have 300 members, and you know, it's getting to the point that it's gotten beyond what we can fundraise ourselves. And so these partners that we've developed over the years are instrumental in what we do.

RR 11:25

Nancy White and Elena Jones. Thank you, ladies, and uh good luck.

unknown 11:30

Nancy Wyatt 11:31

For 26 years, the community has gathered in Lincoln City to raise money for Angels Anonymous with an event called Festival of the Trees. Twenty-six years later, Phil Robertson is with us, chairman of the this year's event, 26 years in the making.

Son Phil 12:30

Yeah, it's all thanks to Jim Davis who got this whole thing started. As a matter of fact. Yeah, um, he dislodged Jim this last year, this year, so just recently. And so this is one of those years we're really kind of a helping celebrate the gym and some of the other founders of this year. In fact, one of the trees we're gonna have this year is a part of that. It's gonna be a founder's tree sponsored by Angels Anonymous, and we're gonna encourage people from the community to come and bring their purchase a uh ornament and put it on the tree. And for someone you would have known, someone you've lost in the past, someone you want to remember, someone you're thinking about, just or just donate to Angels Anonymous. So it's a nice way to kind of you know bring the festival to the community from Angels.

RR 13:12

So if you want to uh contribute a dollar, a thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars, we'll take it all. We'll take it all. We'll take it all. We have a number of trees that are gonna be there, sponsored by a variety of businesses and individuals in the community.

Son Phil 13:25

Yeah, I'm just gonna go through the list here. I really want to thank them all because it's it they they really do a lot to put these trees together. I mean, they're not just a Christmas tree, there's a lot of stuff that goes with it. So Zellers Barn Grill, you know, Adina and Jennifer McDonald have really done some wonderful things the last few years. So I'm all I'm always excited to see what they come up with. Uh Jennifer is just a remarkable decorator, so I'm looking forward to that one. Of course, our Forever Schnookwins Casino Resort. They can't say enough about what they do. Where to go, Heather.

So, and of course, Heather Hatton, who is really our liaison into the unit. She pushes it. She does. Also, this year we're back again is Oregon Coast Bank, but with them is new. It's Teen Alchemical Toilets. So, I mean, thank you, Angie Ware, for joining us. And she's actually bought trees the past few years, so it's kind of nice that she's actually sponsoring a tree this year. So I look forward to see what they come up with. Returning again is the Lincoln City Police Department and the LCPEA union members. They're going to be decorating the tree again this year. Maggie Anderson. Maggie brought us the mini tree last year, which was originally very popular. I mean it really was. You have to have a magnifying glass because it is very detailed and it is an amazing little tree. We have again the little magnifying glass. You'll see it there, and it's really neat to see it. We want to thank Maggie for joining us again. The Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club, and the Kowanas Club have all gone in together. Collectively, all three. Collectively, all three. So Lori at the chamber, Nicole Peterson, Beth Towers, and Estelle Harlan are all going to be our decorators this year. So we want to thank all of them individually for joining us again. Uh, first Interstate Bank is back again this year. The manager, Amanda, there. We'll really thank them as well. They're also a uh a sponsor, our bigger major sponsor. They already gave us some some some cash from the first interstate bank as well, so we want to thank them as well. Beach Crest Brewing Company, Amy and Matt White, can't say enough what they do. They're also going to be our entertainment this year. They're bringing their voices in more than one way. Uh their band or a combination of them and a few other sole proprietors. They're very good. They kind of play a soul funk 70s, 80s kind of a vibe to it. So it's really stuff you can get out there and dance to. I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do for us this year. This is new one. Uh, the Kennedy family and the Hash family, the two families that have come together. They're going to come and join to give us a tree. Have no idea what their theme is. We're looking forward to seeing what they come up with. Uh, let's see here. Northwest Natural and Bob Fawcett construction.

RR 15:56

This is a number of years of since.

Son Phil 15:59

Northwest Natural. Well, Cindy was our board member for many years until she had to step aside to for other things. Well, work probably. And so Northwest Natural, they are continuing to be a huge sponsor for us. And of course, having Bob Fawcett kind of join us, great. We're looking forward to seeing what they do. Uh, Coastal Appliances uh company, Mandy and Jeff, they're at it again. They are always bringing up, they always step up. They always bring some beautiful furniture.

Yes, she's she's the she's the brains behind it all, honestly. So she's the push. Yes. Granny's attic. We've had Lori and Dale for well as long as I've been on the board, and that's quite a while. So, and they have a double space this year. I should say the casino also has a double space this year, but they've really gone out. I mean, they've been working on this since there's gonna be some stuff underneath that tree. And they've been very quiet about it. So I have no idea what's coming, um, but I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with again. Uh, Mo's Lincoln City. Can't say enough about Moe's. Everything, you know, this Moe's. We all love Mo's, and thank you, Frank, for continuing to support us. A new one this year. Lincoln County Public Employees.

RR 17:25

This is really good.

Son Phil 17:26

This is people basically coming out of Newport up here to support us. Yes, and and I think it's great. And so it's and again, reaching out across the community and county is as it's fantastic. I really appreciate them coming to join us this year. Returning again, Habitat for Humanity, uh, Lucinda Taylor, and she's partnering again with Lincoln County TLC, the Division of Fiber Federal Credit Union. And so we want to thank them as well. The Girl Scouts Troop Should I have cookies. Yeah, sure. The Girl Scout Troop 10143 again returning. Uh Katie Kennedy has brought those girls up there. They decorate a very they they always make all their own ornaments. I'm guessing they're probably gonna do something similar again this year. So it's always a very popular tree, very traditional tree, which is great. This is one that I'm looking forward to. Mermaid Salon. I mean, I've been talking to Michelle for the entire year. And she has been planning and she's been very secretive. She doesn't want anybody to know what she's doing. But there she says it's gonna blow our minds. So I'm looking forward to see what she's doing. She's gonna be right up front, so we'll see what she comes up with. I mentioned the Angels Anonymous Founders Tree. That's when we can come up and you can buy an ornament and decorate the ornament. And then finally, again, they're anonymous. It's two chicks and a chap.

RR 18:38

And a wine tree.

Son Phil 18:39

No, it's not a wine tree, a wine table. It's a wine table. Well, we uh all of our board members we gather wines from different places, all around the world, really. And we auction it off as one of our last auction items for the night.

RR 18:50

We're gonna take a break. We'll be back in just a moment. We'll talk about the Reese and the sponsors for the 26th Annual Festival of Tweets, sponsored by Angels Anonymous.

Chinook Winds Casino Resort 19:02

Light Langers, live in colours, living there, and we're gonna go to the club.

RR 20:01

Welcome back to the double show with me, son Phil Robertson. We've been talking about the 26th annual festival of the trees uh coming up December the 6th up at Chununkowan's Casino Resort. Really the only place this event can be held in the area. Right.

Son Phil 20:16

Well, it's the it's not just the trees. We have a the big banquet we do as well. And by the time this airs, I think we'll probably have a few tickets remaining. I don't know. We're always getting close to the selling out, so it's kind of hard. But tickets are available if you go to the our Angels Anonymous website, which you type in Angels Anonymous L L C, I believe it is, dot com. And we're the shot. It's there yeah, there might still be some tickets available.

RR 20:37

Now, in our first uh segment, we talked about all of the trees, but we have a number of wreaths that people have sponsored as well.

Son Phil 20:45

Correct. Now, this is a silent auction. We don't do a live auction on these. These are all the silent auction items. Again, Granny's Attic are doing another wreath for us. Teresa Simmons, a board member of ours, and so is Don Brunemis, another board member of ours. They're both they both do fantastic trees. They're very both talented ladies, they are. Um, Stephen Pearcy and Wanda and Bob. They're doing it doing a wreath. I don't know much about it, but that was all. I just kind of got that one from Don the other day. The Lincoln City Outlets, their manager, Sharon Jasmer, is going to be doing one for us. Now I'm gonna butcher this, but I hope I didn't. It's a Swaffle Farm eggs. I hope they said that correctly. Marcy Herleman is doing a wreath for us this year as well. The Corsi family, I again, a brand new one for us this year. We're always happy to have new ones that come in every single year. And then St. James, Santiago Episcopal Church is also sponsoring a wreath this year.

RR 21:35

So we got the wreaths, we got the trees, uh, we've got a huge auction, but we also have some sponsors that have really stepped up to the plate to make this an event that's going to make money to serve the community.

Son Phil 21:47

And number one, of course, like it is every year, it's Chinookwin's Casino Resort and the Confederated Tribes of Slaz Indians. They do so much for us. I mean, it's not just the facilities, but it's every little thing. Their staff helps us out. They set the trees up for us. And, you know, if you want to thank somebody, thank some of that banquet facilities because they really do an amazing job. And the food has been fantastic the past few years. So, I mean, really, everything up there has been fine. Food this year is we've got uh it's a sit-down dinner. Last few years we've had a buffet. This year we're sitting down again. We've got uh steak, fish, uh, salmon, and vegetarian is gonna be the Portobello mushroom, and everything comes with shrimp on the side, and of course, there's like a rice pilaf, I believe, or something like that. I'm hungry already. And then dessert is also like a chocolate melody. I'm not quite sure what we're doing there, but yeah.

RR 22:34

So one of the couples that have really stepped up to the plate again, uh Chet and Barbara Gardner, probably them next. Probably uh don't know Chet, but uh he originally owned Jim Kodaks in Depot Bay. Uh also at a coin shop here in Lincoln City. That's the way I remember Chet. Chet's coins. Yeah, Chet's coins. And then Barbara was a school teacher for a number of years in North Lincoln County. But they gave Angels a pile of money. $10,000. They are a huge sponsor, Chet and Barbara.

Son Phil 23:02

That just blows my mind, the generosity that they are doing for this this year. It's just really amazing. And so, yes, we can't thank Chet and Barbara enough for what their donation. First Interstate Bank is also a big sponsor this year, along with Pacific Corps, Pacific Power, and they're both major sponsors. Also, a new one, which is this one just came in the other day. Fleet of Flowers of Depot Bay gave Angels Anonymous $1,000.

RR 23:24

Money they raised for a nonprofit activity in Depot Bay. Uh, they said that they wanted to make certain that it went went into helping people of North Lincoln County. And that's what we do at Angels Anonymous.

Son Phil 23:36

That's what it really did fit in nicely. Other sponsors, I gotta make sure I mentioned it's ultrasonic uh events. They do all of our lights and sounds. They can't think those guys enough. D D C Movers, Anthony and his team are just fantastic. Quality printing is doing everything for us. Our printing, Joy and her whole team, fantastic. Thank you so much. Danny Curler's also helping us with the printing as well. So, Station 3 promotional graphics. Thank you, Danny. Michelle Davis, she does all of our graphic design. Michelle has just been with us, geez, I don't know. Since the onslaught, yeah. So she does all of the design. Since the beginning. Yeah. So she's wonderful. Thank you again for Michelle. Ace Hardware here in Lincoln City. Ben and his team up there, they really just help support us as the things we need. They fill in all the little detail things we're missing. I get over at Ace. So thank you for those guys. Uh I mentioned Estill Harlan. She's also a big sponsor of us again this year. And the Boy Scouts are also the ones who bring us our trees. And the trees, the past few years, have been beautiful. I mean, some really beautiful trees.

RR 24:36

The trees are are brought not only to the casino, they set them up and bring them into the convention center.

Son Phil 24:43

Right. And then DNC Which is a huge task. Yes, they set those trees up for us, and then DC Movers delivers those trees for us. And that's not just the tree. There's a lot of stuff that goes with the trees. I mean, we're talking furniture. We've had a gun safe one year. I mean, there's been a lot of different things that have come with the trees. I mean handmade wine cabinet, I remember well. That was a heavy big delivery, yes, it was.

RR 25:06

Yes, it was.

Son Phil 25:07

And they basically deliver anywhere in the county and a little bit outside. So we're we're kind of you know trying to keep it tight, but we will go outside of the county for the city. But there is an additional charge for it. Absolutely. Delivery cost, yeah.

RR 25:19

So again, Angel Ball, December 6th, Sunday Wins Casino Resort. But uh, you have an opportunity to bring the children up because Santa Claus is going to be up there as well.

Son Phil 25:29

Friday the 5th, we'll have Santa Claus from 5 to uh 8 o'clock. We'll have candy canes up there for the kids. And also we should mention that the trees will be open for viewing beginning on Wednesday at noon prior to that. So Wednesday through Friday, noon to eight o'clock, and then on Saturday, the day of the event, we're open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

RR 25:49

And for all of those decorators out there that are going to be working on those trees, tie them on, tie them on, tie them on. Did I say tie on everything?

Son Phil 25:57

And zip tie them on is another good word. Zip tie them on is a great one. Those little tiny zip ties are really wonderful. So yeah. Critically important. It's a great event. It really is. And again, all the money we raise goes directly back to the people of North the Gang County.

RR 26:11

So 26th Annual Festival of the Trees, Angels Anonymous, uh Chinookwins Casino Resort. Come up, see the trees, enjoy the trees, enjoy the most festival event. Come get your photo with Santa Claus.

Son Paul 27:11

Yeah, and uh, you know, we're seeing some events starting now, and then there's even bigger ones obviously rolling all the way through the season. And you're even going to talk about something in January, I think, right? January, yes. So lots to talk about.

RR 27:23

Uh November 22, we got deck the dock at 4 30 in the afternoon, southwest 51st Street. This is the opportunity for the community to get together and celebrate the Taft area.

Son Paul 27:34

Yeah, light up that beautiful dock, and I think the clauses might be in town.

RR 27:38

Uh, may well happen to be. Yeah, and some elves. So look for that. We'll look for them. Senator Wyden is going to hold a town hall meeting on Sunday, November 23rd, 1.30, down in Newport. They're being very particular uh about the uh safety concerns, what you can uh carry in with you a bag, uh, you know, uh no big bags, uh, on and on and on. So be mindful of that, be respectful of that as well. Uh let's see, we got uh big king tides coming. And because of the big king tides, normally we have you've been part of this for eons jumping in New Year's Day into the bay.

Son Paul 28:20

Yeah, and I think they actually uh picked the deck the dock as uh slightly changed because of the king tides as well, right? So it's been modifying on both ends of the season.

RR 28:29

So the Slet's Bay Splash this year is going to be on uh January 17th, and that's sponsored by the Lincoln City Parks and Record, North Lincoln uh Fire and Rescue. Uh Tuesday, we have Giving Tuesday.

Backpack for kids uh will have uh cups with uh little wreaths uh inside them, though, which are very festive and and kind of fun uh to decorate with. So lots of things giving Tuesday, and again, uh that's uh noon to 5, December 2nd at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Music wise, the Pacific Coast Singers will present the holiday sounds of the season. This is uh they're gonna do two performances. December the 13th will be both, uh 3 30 in the afternoon, and a repeat performance encore at 7 o'clock at night. Uh, this will be at the Congregational Church, 2435 Northwest Ore Place. Now, the admission is free, but they're asking everybody to bring can. Foods as a donation for the uh food bank right here in town.

Son Paul 30:04

Probably a little cash might be even an option. Cash probably works as well. Scan food or cash or what dry goods, yeah.

RR 30:10

Whatever works for you, uh make certain that you bring it along and help people out. Uh free peace band concert, also to uh support the Lincoln City Food Pantry. That's going to be held on Saturday, November 22, 2 to 4 at the Congregational Church, 2435 Northwest Orr Place. That's directly west of Grocery Outlet. Donations of food or money are encouraged for admission. And uh thanks for helping out feed the hungry in the community. And this is uh sponsored by the Congregational Church of Lincoln City. Again, raising money, raising food for the benefit of all families here in North Lincoln County. And from your side of the table, what do we have to offer up?

Son Paul 30:54

Well, you know, we have one holiday uh event left for the season. Uh it's a Giotuco fish printing, but I believe it's sold out. We had a big fundraiser last weekend. Well, you know, they're they're fundraisers, they're activities, but they actually do benefit the Cascade Head Bias for Clouder and these uh programs that we offer. Uh so yeah, thanks to all the volunteers that uh make all that happen.

RR 31:15

Uh Monday night, uh November the 24th, 6 o'clock, we've got Lincoln City City Council meeting. And then Thursday, November 27th at 3 o'clock, it's the Community Sustainability Committee meeting as well. So I believe that will do to the doings on a double R show.
