Five Clark County nonprofits have joined forces to provide fun family entertainment this summer, and raise funds for their important community work at the same time. Clark County Historical Museum and Society, Police Activities League (PAL) of SW Washington, Ridgefield Main Street, Rocksolid Community Teen Center, and Leadership Clark County are presenting Friday Night Flicks, a five-week series of outdoor movie screenings at Port of Ridgefield. Each week a different nonprofit will take the lead to organize a fun evening of film and food and be the recipient of that night’s funds raised through ticket sales. Ticket prices for attending one of the movie nights range from $25 for one person to $75 for a full vehicle of people. Five-week passes are also available, ranging in price from $100-$400. All tickets include a movie snack pack, provided by sponsors Corwin and Waste Connections. Doors open at 7:30 pm for each movie night, and the film will start at dusk. The movie and recipient organization schedule is as follows: July 9, benefitting PAL: “Zootopia” July 16, benefitting Clark County Historical Museum: “Clue” July 23, benefitting Ridgefield Main Street: “Field of Dreams” July 30, benefitting Rocksolid Community Teen Center: “School of Rock” August 6, benefitting Leadership Clark County: “Remember the Titans”

National Women's Coalition Against Violence and Exploitation (NWCAVE) held a private event on Sunday, June 6 at The Heathman Lodge to count bras for their Gift of Lift bra program. This was the first gathering of the organization's volunteers in over a year due to the pandemic. Twenty board members, volunteers, community partners and elected officials (including Vancouver’s Mayor Anne McEnerny-Ogle) attended to count the thousands of bras people in Oregon and Washington donated throughout the year.

"Our beneficiaries were apprehensive to accept the garments because of the virus,” said Robin Helm, director of NWCAVE's Gift of Lift bra program. “The donors, however, never wavered and continued to donate bras.” The bras will give a lift to those impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, homelessness and those with low income. Bras will be distributed throughout Clark continued on next page
