Super Celebration Evening at the Library
The Award-Winning Oregon Shadow Theatre
will perform Jack and the Dragon at 6:30 in the evening on
Wednesday, January 22, 2020 at the Forest Grove City Library
Arrive early to secure your free ticket to the show.
The King and Princess Polly have varmint trouble. Might be a pesky Unicorn. Could be a cantankerous Giant Hog. Maybe a Fire-Breathing Dragon. Who can deal with these troublesome varmints? Why, Little Man Jack, of course, the world champion varmint whacker! Colorful shadow puppets and live banjo and hammer dulcimer music bring this Appalachian fairy tale to life.

Volunteer Advocate
for Adults Living in
Long Term Care
Long Term Care Ombudsmen are free,
confidential advocates to help with any large or
small problem bothering someone living in a
nursing home, assisted living, residential care or
adult foster home (for example, poor care,
disrespectful treatment, cold coffee, medication
errors, threatened eviction, financial exploitation).
Screened, trained, and backed by state staff, the
volunteers visit licensed homes and/or respond to
calls from anyone concerned and, with the
resident’s OK, go to work to solve the problem.
The need is especially great in the Forest Grove
area, it is important and rewarding work with
flexible hours, but the program needs far more
volunteers. To report a concern or learn more
about volunteering call 800-522-2602 or visit
www.oregon.gov/ltco.
