What is Icon City? | Tell a Friend. Move a Community.

What is the one thing that’s not being done that if we did it would change everything? Is it possible to actually build a gathering that ended in a call to action?

Icon City is an ongoing, dynamic event that uses creative arts to shift public will toward serving and funding the care-giving service organizations of Central Oregon.

Bend, OR. – For over a year a group of volunteers have been working hard to meet basic physical needs in the Bend community. Many of these volunteers left careers and family in Georgia, Texas, Montana and parts in between to help form Icon City. This non-profit organization is run completely by volunteers, their aim is simple: meet the need.

Through regular distribution of food and supplies in Drake Park and establishing a special text program (BeRemedy Bend), Icon City has effectively changed lives and restored hope to many individuals and families. Their consistency has been the key to building strong relationships with other community leaders as well as those in need.

Come and see the change for yourself, as Icon City hosts free monthly live concerts at the Tower Theater. Music from a range of local Central Oregon musicians, guest speakers and more. Come and see how everyday citizens are transforming the landscape of Bend, and motivating others to step out and “BeRemedy” to the needs of this city.

Volunteer Connect announces projects for the Martin Luther King Jr., Day of Service

Volunteer Connect invites Central Oregonians of all ages to participate in our 2nd annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service!

Last year Volunteer Connect’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service engaged over 310 volunteers in 26 different projects for over 1000 hours of service to the community.

This year’s event on Monday, January 17th 2011 will feature 25 morning service projects with locations in Bend, Culver, La Pine, Prineville, Redmond and Sisters. Projects will take place from 9am-12pm and afterwards all volunteers are invited to a complimentary lunch and community discussion to reflect on their experience.

We have a great variety of projects this year! From helping with painting for Bend Habitat for Humanity’s Neighborhood Revitalization project to sorting food donations at the Redmond St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank we offer some great ways to contribute to your community.

For those with a crafty side, we have some special hands-on projects such as making floral arrangements for local hospice patients at Friends with Flowers, helping make fleece blankets for the annual One-Night Homeless count and making crafts for senior citizens and local veterans.

Projects are available for groups, individuals and volunteers of all ages and interested volunteers are encouraged to visit our webpage to sign-up for a project and to browse our full list of projects (www.volunteerconnectnow.org/MLK). Volunteer Connect also welcomes community members to contact us directly to discuss all the options personally (541-385-8977).

While I don’t like being the barer of bad news, hopefully this will give you a chance to try their food one last time Tuesday night Nov. 30th.  This bit of news arrived in my inbox from Giuseppe’s this afternoon:

Hello To All,    It is with bittersweet emotions that I am sending off the news of Giuseppe’s closing its doors after 25 years.  They do say that all good things come to an end, and Giuseppe’s time has come.  Tomorrow night, Nov. 30th, will be the last evening of Sambuca Prawns, Chicken Venetian, Mannicotti, Lasagna, Osso Buco, Scampi Classico,  and all the entrees we have prepared over the decades.  I am sorry for the short notice, but that is how some transactions go.  If you have the evening free,  we would love to see you.  The new owners will be opening their doors of “Bond St. Bar and Grill” on Tuesday, Dec.7th.  They plan on having a “Giuseppe’s Classics” section on the new menu.  I also think the familiar faces of Nancy and Hydie will also be a part of the new scene.  I want to extend a very heartfelt “Thank you so very much” for all the years of your patronage to my humble establishment.  Its been a great run and I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you all.  Happy Holidays!  Peggy

Thanks Giuseppe’s for 25 years of delicious food.

Common Table is a new restaurant in Downtown Bend Oregon. It ‘s a collaborative effort spearheaded by Bob Pearson and Zach Hancock who are looking to do no more than “change the world,” stated Bob Pearson.  Common Table celebrated their Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony this Tuesday, November 10th with a packed house.  It’s clear when listening to Bob and Zach that they, along with their many volunteers, are very passionate about Common Table and its goal to feed everyone in Bend.

Healthy Sustainable Food at Common TableCommon Table is a non-profit restaurant created to “feed all people”. Staffed by volunteers, Common Table’s profits go towards a token program.  The tokens have a dollar amount and are given to Family Access Network, Neighbor Impact, Bethlehem Inn, Saving Grace, Habitat for Humanity and the Latino Community Center.  People can then use these tokens to purchase a healthy, hearty meal at Common Table. Additionally, patrons can purchase tokens to give to any families in need of a good meal. While Common Table does have a full service bar, alcoholic beverages may not be purchased with tokens.

If you haven’t tried the food at Common Table, now is the time.  Matt Mulder formerly of Blue Fish Bistro is the current consulting Chef and has put together a delicious menu of high quality, nutritious food and reasonable prices. According the Bob Pearson, Common Table has made an effort to source locally and ethically for their food including meats, vegetables and cheeses.Downtown Bend Restaurant - Common Table
