SUMMARY:COMMUNITY LITHIUM-ION BATTERY RECYCLING EVENT
DESCRIPTION:Mt. Bachelor Rotary\, Bend Rotary\, and Greater Bend Rotary are teaming up to host\na community lithium-ion battery recycling event on Saturday\, April 25. This free\nevent gives Central Oregonians an easy\, responsible way to recycle old lithium-ion\nbatteries and rechargeable devices that often sit forgotten in junk drawers.\nCommunity members are invited to bring items such as smartphones\, tablets\, laptops\,\nelectric toothbrushes\, power-tool batteries\, rechargeable vacuums\, wireless\nheadphones\, and other lithium-ion battery-powered devices.\nDrive-through locations in Bend from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.:\n Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (61980 NW Skyline Ranch Rd.)\n Nativity Lutheran Church (60850 Brosterhous Rd.)\n Deschutes Children’s Foundation East Campus (2125 NE Daggett Ln.)\nIn addition\, a drop-off booth will be part of the Environmental Center’s Earth Day\nCelebration on April 25\, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Alpenglow Park (61049 SE 15th St.)\nAs our world increasingly electrifies\, from vehicles to home energy systems\, lithium-ion\nbatteries are at the center of powering a cleaner future. These batteries contain\nvaluable materials such as lithium\, cobalt\, nickel\, and copper. When recycled\, more\nthan 95% of these metals can be recovered and reused to create new batteries and\nsustainable energy products right here in the United States.

SUMMARY:Oregon Origins Project
DESCRIPTION:Oregon Origins Project presents a bold and multifaceted exploration of Newberry Volcano in central Oregon\, the largest volcano in the Cascade Range. The June 25-26\, 2026 program includes a new work for contemporary dance inspired by the caldera\, an evening of Northern Paiute legends and stories\, an exhibition exploring geology and transformation\, and a special guided tour of the volcano for ticket holders. Tickets are flexible pricing with a minimum ticket price of $10.\n\nThursday\, June 25 at 7:30pm: Stories of the Northern Paiute\, a special gathering led by Wilson Wewa\, the tribe’s spiritual leader and an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. Wewa’s presentation will range widely across the central Oregon landscape\, including Wayahoo Panoona\, as he shares oral histories\, legends\, accounts of war\, and recent events related to the Northern Paiute presence in the lands that have been their homeland since time immemorial. A Q&A will follow Wewa’s presentation.\n\nFriday\, June 26 at 7:30pm: Echoes of Eruption\, a new contemporary dance work commissioned by Oregon Origins Project from choreographer/composer Samuel Hobbs and performed by Hobbs’ innovative dance company push/FOLD. This substantial new work will take audiences into the molten heart of Newberry\, layering and folding bodies in a sculptural exploration of churning magma\, with a musical soundscape evocative of the glassy textures of the nearby Big Obsidian Flow.\n\nFollowing the performance\, University of Oregon geologist and Bend resident Daniele McKay will offer a multimedia guided tour of the caldera’s past\, present\, and future\, illuminating the remarkable variety of volcanic features at Newberry and how it has shaped and continues to shape central Oregon. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A with the creative team.\n\nAlso\, don’t miss Visual Echoes\, a companion exhibition of visual artworks at the Scalehouse Collaborative for the Arts Annex between May 1-June 26\, 2026.\n\nOregon Origins Project VIII: Echoes of Eruption is supported by the Ronni S. Lacroute Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation\, Clabough Foundation\, Tower Theatre Foundation\, Waypoint Hotel\, Reed College Master of Arts in Liberal Studies Program\, Brooks Resources\, Discover Your Northwest\, and the Central Oregon Geoscience Society.
