The idea is to build community
in a time where many people go to work and sit behind a screen,
and then go home to sit behind another screen.
The Bonfires, and other events Yeashore does,
give people a chance to gather and meet,
but not in a meat market setting.
People can sit up close to the fire in the light and interact,
or sit back in the flickering shadows if they are shy or feel like observing.

The Bonfires begin with Havdalah, on Saturday nights, and
people from different communities are invited
to join together and sing, tell stories, eat, schmooz and
play around a Bonfire into the night.

It is an attempt to bring together some of the different sectors
in our community and to build stronger community.

We build community between people who might not have a chance to meet otherwise,
as so many are locked into one group or another.
Yeashore creates a space where many can meet and get to know one another.

We have been entertaining friends and strangers for twenty-eight years.


=====


Even though winter is not Bonfire season,
our community continues to gather during the winter months.
We gather for singing, storytelling, trips or theatersports
and more through the winter!!

We join other groups for indoor activities,
such as the Sea Chanty Sing sponsored by the National Park Service.

We go on Snow and Hot Springs Trips too!


=====


The events the Yeashore Community have are almost all free.
They are attended by singles, couples and families.
People in their youth to people in their 80s come regularly to our events.

Over the past years the plan has worked:
many people have become friends and had fun.
