Bid for climate action at Rogue Climate's Online Auction fundraiser! Every bid you place powers grassroots climate justice right here in the Rogue Valley and South Coast. When you win an item, you’re not just taking home something great—you’re powering community-led organizing, protecting our environment, and standing up for our neighbors. There's something for everyone: local art, food, experiences, vacation stays across Oregon and more.

Rogue Climate organizes for climate justice with Southern Oregon and South Coast communities most impacted by climate change —including low-income, rural, youth, seniors, and communities of color. Learn more about our work at www.RogueClimate.org or on instagram @RogueClimate.

Join Lori Grable for a Beginning Yoga class! This class is open to anyone who is interested in trying out yoga for the first time or wants a refresher yoga class after a layoff. Come with comfortable clothes, a yoga mat and water bottle. New students can arrive at 10:15.

Instructor Bio: Lori began her yoga journey in 2000 as a student at the Santa Barbara Yoga Center. She was drawn to the practice because it helped her to reconnect with her most authentic self while making her stronger and more open, physically and mentally. Her passion for yoga grew stronger as she traveled around the United States during the summer of 2003, practicing at many studios along the way. After settling in Pittsburgh, PA, she completed her teacher training and began teaching in 2006.

Today, Lori is an E-RYT 500 and teaches Vinyasa-based classes. She is influenced by the philosophy and alignment principles of Anusara Yoga. As a triathlete, Lori has an interest in yoga for athletes and has taught many workshops on the topic. She has a passion for the outdoors and has taught yoga in parks, vineyards, and backyards. Lori appreciates the healing and restorative qualities of yoga and has also worked with students who are recovering from illness, rehabilitating injuries, pregnant, or elderly.

Navigating decisions about senior living is hard, but it begins with a simple conversation. Get started on your path to making the right decisions for you and your loved ones at this workshop. The topics covered will include:

Where to begin.
How are care needs assessed and priced?
How to age in place safely.
How to property evaluate a senior living community during a tour.
What is independent living?
When is assisted living the right option?
When is memory care needed?
What is an adult care home?
Options for paying for senior living.
What is a financial spend-down.
What documents are required?
What value does an advisor bring?
Belinda Godin is the heart and owner of Aging Stages Senior Services. Her role is that of a Senior Living Advisor and Placement Specialist. She is also a long-time educator and provides public presentations on senior living as often as she is given the opportunity. She is a Senior Home Safety Specialist and holds a Certification in Dementia Therapy. As a former assisted living and memory care admissions professional, she brings a senior living insider’s perspective to this important conversation. The goal today is for you to feel less fearful, more informed, and better prepared for next steps - whatever that looks like for your situation.
