This information is from Karen Espland, one of Pouncing Rains Members:
This is the latest update from Flip re: Roeder Home. If you can spare even a couple hours a month or year--- Please call Rob & let him know. Yesterday was the first time since February the "OPEN" sign was turned for the public to come in. There was a spinners group (yarn spinning) there breathing life back into the home. It was fun to learn more about this art & craft. As this is being reorganized & in its infantcy stage, do you have a suggestion that will promote cultural arts in the Roeder Home? Let us know.I am trying to be well versed on the groups & events that occur at the Roeder Home. If you know of a group who would be interested in renting the facility - please mention it to them. Unfortunately, it was not advertised in the last 2 Whatcom County Leisure Guides and rentals may be down. There are several rooms that are rentable. There are small art rooms downstairs (jewelry, kiln & ???) There are 2 rates for rentals: Non-commercial & Commercial. It would be nice to see the arts programs continue there. Do you know anyone interested in teaching a class? The insurance issue has been addressed. Call Rob from the W.C. Parks Dept. at the number below for further information. It would be wonderful if you would pass this on. Thanks - Karen E.
