It’s an opportunity to connect with our stuff\, instead of just replacing it and making even more waste. Every effort will be made to fix the items but we will be limited by skills\, expertise\, parts and time\, so patience and a DIY attitude is helpful. \nThe Maker Monday series is an initiative for the Downtown Bend Library to bring DIY type events and workshops to the community. Rethink Waste is a project of The Envrionmental Center and helps our community reduce\, reuse\, recycle and compost.

He and his family were preparing to leave the U.S.\, not knowing for sure if they would ever return.  The evening’s selections were poignant\, vibrant\, political\, ironic\, and FUN. The common threads between the tunes were a love for humankind and advocacy of peace and justice.  It is our hope to recreate the spirit of that special evening by performing the same set-list as was presented at Carnegie Hall… in hopes that everyone will join along in singing… honoring the first anniversary of his passing. \nWille Hall\, Campus Center\, Bend Campus of COCC URL:https://envirocenter.org/event/remembering-legacy-pete-seeger/ LOCATION:Deschutes Brewery Public House\, 1044 NW Bond St\, Bend\, OR\, 97701\, United States GEO:44.0593984;-121.3113079 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Deschutes Brewery Public House 1044 NW Bond St Bend OR 97701 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1044 NW Bond St:geo:-121.3113079,44.0593984 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20150213 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20150217 DTSTAMP:20260416T062323 CREATED:20150127T032406Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230503T200154Z UID:10002364-1423785600-1424131199@envirocenter.org SUMMARY:2015 Great Backyard Bird Count DESCRIPTION:Great Backyard Bird Count Event (Feb 13th-16th) and Activities at the Sunriver Nature Center! \n The Great Backyard Bird Count is from February 13th-16th\, 2015.  You can participate in this four-day event wherever you are!
