Rogue Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (RVUUF) Ashland, OR

Glen Paris, a producer for RVTV, has created a DVD of Meet The Ashland Pioneers which we will show at the Fellowship on Monday, August 3rd at 7pm. In addition to the actors, she has included music, and photos of the woolen mill, and some of the pioneers' gravestones and homes.

Delores Nims said, "I was blown away by the power of this video. For the first time I understood how we brought the pioneers to life."

Thank you to all the people who helped to make "Meet the Ashland Pioneers" a success. We had about 340 people take the tour and raised $3,430 dollars, $2400 of which is profit. Half of that goes to RVUUF and half to Art in the Valley Schools. I will keep you informed about the Art project as it unfolds. If you know of artists in Jacksonville, Medford, Central Point, Phoenix, and Talent, please e-mail Delores Nims with names and phone numbers.

We will repeat this event next year with different characters and stories, so if you have suggestions please e-mail Delores; also I am interested in people who would like to do the research which will begin in Sep or Oct.

If you want to be considered for an acting part please e-mail Delores. Jan Waitt who has a masters degree in theatrical directing will be our director and drama coach next year and assist with casting.
