The Birds Star Tippi Hedren to Appear at Benefit for the ROAR Foundation
On Sunday, September 12, screen actress Tippi Hedren will host „An Evening with Tippi.‰ The event will include a special screening of Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 thriller The Birds ˆ her first starring role; an interview and Q & A session led by Alfred Hitchcock scholar Joel Gunz; an autograph session and more. The screening and interviews will take place at the Lincoln City's Historic Bijou Theatre, which will also provide a catered reception. Afterward, attendees will have the option to gather at the nearby Historic Anchor Inn for an intimate dinner with Ms. Hedren.
The event is a benefit for the Roar Foundation and its Shambala Preserve, whose mission is to educate the public about wild and exotic animals, advocate for legislation to protect them and provide sanctuary for abused and neglected animals, especially big cats such as lions and tigers.
Says event organizer and president of the Bay Area Merchants Association Alex Ward, „We are delighted to help out Tippi and the very important work that she does.‰ He adds, „This project is a community effort, and I've been amazed to see our volunteers generously pool their time, money and other resources to make it a success.‰ Gunz adds, „Hedren's talent on screen, combined with her devotion to such humanitarian causes as Shambala, are an inspiration to millions of people around the world.‰ Events sponsors include the Bay Area Merchants' Association, the Bijou Theater, Chinook Winds Casino and the Historic Anchor Inn.
Event packages are as follows:
Autograph Package: Screening of "The Birds" with Tippi, autograph and Q&A session, catered refreshments, $30.

About the Roar Foundation and Shambala
The Roar Foundation, founded in 1983 by Tippi Hedren, exists solely to support the abandoned exotic felines at Shambala Preserve. Shambala is home to approximately 70 big cats, including lions, tigers, cougars, leopards, servals and others. They have all been rescued from roadside zoos and private citizens who are unable to properly care for them, and have been confiscated by authorities such as the United States Department of Agriculture and the ASCPA. A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Shambala gives animals a home where they can live out their lives with love and dignity.

Mr & Mrs. Boysen

Looking Glass Inn
Emanon Business Services
As in the past, BAMA again will be putting up the flower baskets in the Taft area. This project is sponsored by many area businesses and residents alike. The price of the baskets is $280.00 per pole each pole has two baskets. Single baskets may be purchased also at $140.00 per basket. This includes a lable with the donors name, delivery of the baskets, hanging the baskets and removing the baskets at the end of the season. This project is paid for by basket sponsors and is in no way paid for by the City of Lincoln City. The City does supply the water for the baskets but that is all. The cost has not gone up this year, so if you would like to sponsor a basket or a pole send your request to EKuntz7171@aol.com and he will contact you to get the necessary information.
