[Grovenet] Hello

Thu Apr 2 04:49:31 PDT 2009

Hi All,
I too have been here in FG a while, but Oregon all my life.  Currently, I am an unemployed mask designer and have been spending time working on promoting the Arts in our community.  

Keith and I are putting together a music program at Rogers Park.  We have gotten most of the city dealings taken care of and are finalizing the rest.  It will be the second Sunday of June, July, August and September. 1-4:30 PM The first hour will be open mic, second hour a featured band, and the third hour a jam session.  Our goal is to bring community awareness to the importance of the Arts.  Especially in education.  We need both sports and the arts for our young adults, it is down time for them where they can release that pent up frustration.  We are currently finalizing things.  We are now in search of volunteers to help with the event.  

The thing that we are so excited about is that Music and the Arts crosses all age and cultural boundaries.  It also is one of those feel good things that brings a tighter community and brings business, to our community.  If anyone has a need for musicians, or other talent.  We are happy to connect people.  

Izgara's will be having our very own Rachel Mirah belly dancing on Fridays at 6PM.  She won the talent contest at Forest Grove High School last year and is very very talented. 

Keith Cantrell, (my partner) will be playing at Izgara's this Saturday as well.  

August 8th is the Education Foundations Event at Lincoln Park, featuring Quarter Flash.  

There will be Jazz at the Concourse too this year.  

We are hoping that Keith's guitar students from the Chinese Learning Center will be performing the Lion and Dragon dance, for the Chalk Art Festival too.   We were invited last January to the Chinese New Year Festival at the Convention center and were WOWed by the kids.  

Another name to watch for is Ian Lindsay.  He is a Freshman at FG High and quite the Blues guitarist.  

My own son, Nick Carter is a  Indonesian fire spinner, that WOWed the crowd at the Mr. Viking contest, at the high school.  Be sure to congratulate him for he is quite cute in his tiara. (Sorry but the proud Mom comes out some times.)  He too is looking for venues and events to perform at.  

Feel free to contact us to perform at the open mic or to volenteer at the Music in the Park event.  

Hugs 
Theresa and Keith

I was told about this group by one of my customers that came into our little coffee shop the other day.  My name is Glenn and I own the little espresso coffee shop that has been Forest Grove's 1st drive through espresso shop since 1993, the one that is on Pacific just across from McDonalds and is a little trailer.  Anyway we have just acquired the rights to the old "Oasis Tavern" and are going to expand into it to make it a Coffee Piano Bar.  Right now we only have the drive through but we are working hard to get the Piano Bar ready to open.  We also hope it will be a vinue for the community.  We do not plan to serve any alcoholic beverages so hopefully this will become a place for all families and people of all ages to be able to gather.
I hope to hear from other soon, and I thought the discussion on Van Dykes was very good.  We too see lots of local business lost to big Corps when local was better and I too try to only shop local.  It just makes good sense.
Glenn

Welcome.

Good luck expanding your business in Forest Grove, we need all of the  
energy we can generate from home-grown businesses.
