SUMMARY:Quilts From Caring Hands
DESCRIPTION:The primary purpose of Quilts From Caring Hands is to bring the feeling of loving comfort to at-risk children in Oregon’s Benton\, Linn and Marion counties. These include those who are homeless\, drug addicted\, visually impaired\, or abused\, and those in foster care. Our quilts are distributed through designated social service agencies. \nEach quilt we make for a child is unique. In addition to crib- and twin-sized quilts\, we also assemble tactile quilts and “cuddlers” for visually impaired children.  The finished quilts and cuddlers are given away once each quarter. \nQCH is grateful to our sponsors for their support over the years.

SUMMARY:Dementia Warriors Support Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Improving our journey together. \nJoin us from 2:30-4 p.m. on the first and third Wednesday of each month at Peace Lutheran Church in Philomath\, Oregon. \nLoss of cognitive skills and/or memory loss can begin at any age\, and this is greatly worsened by social isolation. Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are NOT “old-person’s diseases!” Statistics show that many people live with dementia\, on average\, about 10 years before seeking a diagnosis. Early detection gives you time to start self-care and stave off the onset. Knowledge is power! \nWe welcome differences and work together to be creative in enjoying life while navigating dementia. We offer support and connection to those with dementia and their families with twice-monthly support group meetings\, social outings\, easy walks\, coffee chats and a private Facebook group. Most importantly\, we offer hope and a renewed sense of purpose. \nPlease join your strengths with ours to make a better life. Togetherness is our greatest strength. \nWant to learn more?

SUMMARY:Lecture: 'Museums A Place and A Practice' at Philomath Museum
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Museums A Place And A Practice\nSPEAKER: Natascha Adams \nThursday\, May 7\, 10:30 a.m. \nMuseums are more than places that preserve objects—they are spaces where communities explore stories\, context\, and shared understanding. In this talk\, Benton County Historical Society’s Curator of Exhibitions\, Natascha Adams\, reflects on how museums and history organizations help communities document diverse experiences\, navigate complex issues\, and foster meaningful public dialogue. Through examples from her work in Oregon museums\, she highlights how storytelling and interpretation strengthen civic connection and community identity. \nNatascha Adams is the Curator of Exhibitions at the Benton County Historical Society\, where she leads dynamic\, story-driven galleries at the Philomath and Corvallis Museums. Her work is shaped by an international upbringing and a family history of migration\, fostering a deep commitment to belonging\, curiosity\, and connecting past and present. With an M.A. in Museum Studies and a diverse background spanning archaeology\, nonprofit leadership\, and community engagement\, she brings a multidisciplinary approach to revitalizing museums as vibrant public spaces. Above all\, Natascha is driven by a lifelong curiosity and a deep belief that history\, when told well\, has the power to strengthen communities.
