The following events are planned in the area.
Family fun fundraiser

Shriners offer clinic
The Coos County Shrine Club will sponsor a screening clinic to identify children who may benefit from treatment at one of the Shriners Hospitals for Children from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday at the Bay Area Hospital, 1775 Thompson Road, in Coos Bay.
Dr. Hunter and his staff have volunteered to conduct the clinic with assistance from the local Shriners.
The clinic is designed to determine whether a child with a wide range of orthopedic problems, burns, spinal cord injuries, cleft lip and palate, and certain other health conditions can be helped by treatment at a Shriners’ Hospital.
Children up to age 18 are eligible for care if, in the opinion of Shriner’s physicians, there is a reasonable possibility they can benefit from the specialized services available. Acceptance is based solely on a child’s medical needs. A family’s income or insurance status is not criteria for acceptance as a patient, a press release said.
To register a child for the clinic, call Tom Shine at 297-0086 or by e-mail at tpshine@yahoo.com.
Furtado at Pistol River
The Pistol River Concert Association will host Tony Furtado at 8 p.m. on Saturday, at the Pistol River Friendship Hall.
Multitalented Furtado has moved from recording banjo instrumentals to also playing guitar (acoustic and electric), singing, writing and performing in multiple styles.
A native of California, Tony Furtado emerged as a bluegrass banjo prodigy. He took up the instrument at age 12, and by 19 had developed a reputation, winning a national bluegrass banjo championship. In the early 1990s, he recorded some acclaimed CDs on banjo with such guests as Jerry Douglas and Alison Krauss, but then moved to steel guitar and electric slide, according to a press release.
His new CD is “Thirteen.”
