Materials will be provided however participants are encouraged to bring their own small objects to experiment with. Robin Cone-Murakami is an artist from Honolulu, Hawaii. She works in sculpture, photography, sound and installation to examine the intimate link between humanity and nature. Growing up in a city expanding within a complex island ecosystem, her work deals with the changing landscape the world faces in contemporary society. She has exhibited in solo and group shows throughout Oregon including McMinnville, Ashland, and Portland. In 2018, she was a low-resident artist at Leland Ironworks in Oregon City. She moved to Portland in 2017 and is a Master in Fine Arts in Visual Studies candidate at the Pacific Northwest College of Art. Free Family Mornings is an ongoing series hosted by the Washington County Museum.

Sam Day 5K & Kids RunJune 29, 2019
The Sam Day 5K is a unique, inspirational event benefiting the Sam Day Foundation with the purpose of funding better treatments for rare pediatric cancers, and life-giving experiences for kids with cancer. Sam battled a rare bone cancer for six years, and passed away in August 2016, just one week before his freshman year at Sunset High School. In those six years he taught us three important lessons: Dream big, laugh often, and live well. In the spirit of Sam Day, this run is sure to be a high energy, fun, inclusive and meaningful event for all runners, volunteers and party goers. The run will begin and end at Sunset High School. As you leave the Sunset High School campus and make your way through Sam’s neighborhood you’ll be cheered on and encouraged by dozens of spectators, sounds, music and messages along the way. Kids with cancer want to live well and the Sam Day 5K is creating that opportunity and setting the example! Bring your friends and family to the post run party for some music, awards and of course, party favors! Sam would have been 18 on June 23, so we recognize his birthday and celebrate future birthdays for kids with rare cancer. The 5K route is on pavement and weaves through closed neighborhood streets and pathways. Register to run and volunteer here.

TVF&R Offers Tips to Prevent Window FallsAs we welcome warmer summer weather, Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue reminds parents and caregivers that window falls are preventable. Each year, window falls account for about eight deaths and more than 3,300 injuries to young children in the United States, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. TVF&R crews have responded to two window falls in the past month, and we want to prevent any other devastating incidents. Window screens are not strong enough to keep a child from falling out of a window. They are designed to keep bugs out, not kids in. Because children frequently land on their heads, many require hospitalization for fall injuries and may have permanent disabilities. In Oregon, a majority of falls occur between May and September but can happen anytime windows are open. The encouraging news is that simple steps can help prevent injuries. As a partner in the Stop at 4 Inches Campaign to Prevent Window Falls, TVF&R urges parents and families to continue their commitment to window safety. Please share the following tips with friends, family, or anyone else who has children living in or visiting their home.
For more information about window safety, appropriate safety devices for your style of windows, and locations to purchase window stops and guards, visit www.StopAt4.com. |
