A delightful assembly

Friday evening was wonderful. It was a warm evening, and attendees enjoyed dancing before and after dining. Kathryn Plett of Set to Music Country Dancing was kind enough to call the dances for us on this lovely balmy Spring night.

TaborSpace was an excellent venue with excellent staff, and we were delighted to be welcomed there. It was a family-friendly evening of dance, dining and diversions.

New events, more to come, and then some.

Happy taxtime everyone. LOL. We've just added in a few events. The next two months will be packed with things to do in costume... from teas and picnics to the infamous Topsails and Tea event that has finally been rounded out and completed, so please check our events page. Frequently!

We are celebrating a special event for one of our most esteemed leaders, Miss Stephanie Robertson, who will be getting married in August. We will be holding a tea to celebrate this event, and are asking the participants to bring a postcard sized 'scrap-booky' card to contribute to her event album.  We are hoping some of the more Regency techniques will be used to create the cards, including quilling, calligraphy, watercolours, sketching and more or if you're ambitious... all!... we are looking forward to seeing what the album looks like with each individual contribution.

Can you quill? :)

Topsails and Tea has been completed at last, and has two days of activities to make the trip to Hood River worthwhile, including a customized tea menu by 3 Rivers Grill, dinner at Riverside and breakfast at the Hood River Hotel.  These are all additions to the lovely evening sail aboard the Hawaiian Chieftain.

A new picnic has been arranged in a lilac garden to boot. And we will be posting an announcement for a new hat & bonnet workshop very soon, so keep posted.

Also, the Northwest Chapter is welcoming two new leaders on board.  Mrs. Kat D'Silva and Miss Aelfgyva LaFae joined the ORS NW leadership this week and will be contributing in organizing events and welcoming new members. So please be sure to give these ladies an appreciative pat on the back for leaping into the fire with the rest of us. LOL.

News for February.

Greetings everyone! The website transition is still underway, which means that there will inevitably be some broken links here and there about the internet.  We are working to have those resolved as soon as possible. Bear with us.

We have added in some events for your perusal. We have found a wonderful new venue for our balls and assemblies. TaborSpace is an old stone church in the Mount Tabor area (Belmont Ave.).  Not only is this space central and accessible with ample parking, but it is also quite affordable.  We plan to hold many an event there, including a workshop or two.  They have a lovely coffee shop on site as well. Drop by and visit if you can. Join us on April 26 for the NW Chapter's Spring 'In Celebration of Shakespeare' Ball, and see the venue for yourself.

In other news, a date has been chosen for the sixth annual ORS Pittock  Mansion picnic, always a successful event.  We are also posting a 2013 Topsails and Tea event in Hood River, Oregon for June. There's a stitch & bitch in the planning, a bonnet workshop and more.  Click on events and keep checking in for updates. Also, be sure to join the Facebook group page to be right up to the date on events and discussions. :)
