History of the NCA
The Neskowin Community Association was
established in 1970. Previous NCA activities included advocating for the
political and legislative interests of the community, exploring incorporation
of the village, and forming the Water and Sewer Districts.
The NCA is an Oregon non-profit
corporation with a volunteer board of directors. NCA’s members are residents
and property owners in the Neskowin community. The NCA supports associate
memberships to anyone interested in the community.
MISSION
NCA
envisions a community that respects and protects our environment, honors the
cultural wealth of the region, embraces an atmosphere of inclusion, acceptance
and belonging, and stands for social justice.
Karen Petersen, Historian of the Nesko Women’s Club:
We are celebrating our 100th Anniversary this year with an open house at Kiawanda Community Center on Saturday, May 3rd from 2-5 pm. NCA members are welcome to attend and we would especially encourage those who have family who were members of Nesko in previous times. We would also welcome any related memorabilia we could display at the party. There is no cost for attending and no reservation is needed. There will be music, refreshments and plenty of memorabilia and old photos to enjoy.
One of the fundraisers for this celebration is a cookbook, photo included below. It is composed of recipes from a cookbook put together by Nesko members and issued in 1999. We have added recipes from current members plus a few from the excellent cooks at St Joseph Altar Society in Cloverdale. The book features a number of vintage photographs from earlier times in our history. It is on sale for $25 and available by contacting me (info provided below) or they will also be available at the party and at our annual 4th of July sale in Neskowin Village.
Here is the publicity info for our cookbook:
