SUMMARY:Ribbon Cutting for Rooted Homes’ Poplar Community
DESCRIPTION:Please join Rooted Homes\, in partnership with the Bend Chamber\, in celebrating the completion of the new Poplar Community! \nThe ceremony will take place in a heated tent and begin with home tours from 12:00PM to 12:15PM\, followed by speaker comments from 12:15PM to 12:45PM\, including a special note from Deschutes County Commissioner Phil Chang. The ribbon-cutting ceremony and photo-op will be at 12:45PM. RSVP recommended to Jackie Keogh at jackie@rootedhomes.org \nQualified\, first-time homebuyers were encouraged to apply for the homeownership opportunity in this workforce housing pilot project. Employees of the employer partners received two preference points in the public lottery selection process. \nThe purpose of the pilot is to demonstrate that employers can support a path to homeownership for their employees. As part of the proof-of-concept\, the Bend Chamber is sponsoring four of the seven new homes in the Poplar development\, thanks to financial support from Providence Health Plan and specific Bend Chamber members. The sponsorship helps support the difference between the cost to build these homes and what income-qualified homebuyers can afford. \nThe Poplar Community project includes seven 3-bedroom\, 2-bath homes designed to net-zero energy standards for households earning equal to or less than 80% of Area Median Income. These homes\, designed by Ten Over Studio and constructed by Solaire Homebuilders\, are located on Rooted Homes’ land and retain a deed restriction that ensures each subsequent home resale will preference employees of qualified employer partners\, extending this benefit to the Bend workforce in perpetuity. \nRooted Home’s Mission \nProvide environmentally sustainable and permanently affordable homeownership opportunities for those who contribute to the fabric of the Central Oregon economy and community. \nBend Chamber’s Mission \nCreate an environment where businesses\, their employees and our community excel together through collaboration\, advocacy\, resources and leadership to meet Bend’s business challenges.

SUMMARY:Recycled Materials Bag Sewing Party
DESCRIPTION:Calling all seamstresses! St. Charles Medical Center and Bend Anesthesiology Group are partnering with The Environmental Center to create reusable tote bags out of sterile blue wrap\, used to sterilize surgical instruments. This repurposed material is water resistant\, sturdy\, functional and with your help\, fashionable! If the material is not being reused\, it is immediately tossed in the trash and sent to our landfill. This is one chance to help our community divert non-recyclables from the landfill! These bags will be reused in our “Sustainable Summer” fundraising event later this year (stay tuned!). \nBring your sewing machine\, scissors\, pins\, ruler\, chalk\, and cutting mat and we will provide the fabric and patterns! \n**All levels of experience are welcome!**

SUMMARY:Author Event: Rooted by Lyanda Haupt @ UUFCO
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, June 7th\, Lyanda Haupt will speak at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at 7pm. To purchase tickets\, click HERE.\nDeepen your connection to the natural world with this inspiring meditation\, “a path to the place where science and spirit meet” (Robin Wall Kimmerer). Award-winning writer Lyanda Lynn Haupt’s highly personal new book is a brilliant invitation to live with the earth in both simple and profound ways—from walking barefoot in the woods and reimagining our relationship with animals and trees\, to examining the very language we use to describe and think about nature. She invokes rootedness as a way of being in concert with the wilderness—and wildness—that sustains humans and all of life. \nIn the tradition of Rachel Carson\, Elizabeth Kolbert\, and Mary Oliver\, Haupt writes with urgency and grace\, reminding us that at the crossroads of science\, nature\, and spirit we find true hope. Each chapter provides tools for bringing our unique gifts to the fore and transforming our sense of belonging within the magic and wonder of the natural world. Lyanda Lynn Haupt is a naturalist\, ecophilosopher\, and author of Mozart’s Starling\, The Urban Bestiary\, Crow Planet\, Pilgrim on the Great Bird Continent\, and Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds. Ms. Haupt is a winner of the Washington State Book Award and the Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award. \nBooks will be available for purchase at the event.
