once-homeless cats and dogs
at the Florence Area Humane
Society’s no-kill shelter.

dogs and Polish dogs are $3,

variety of soft drinks plus
bottled water.

individually.
Inside the store, FAHS vol-
unteers will be greeting visi-
tors with adoptable kittens.
Fresh lavender bundles,
locally grown by FAHS vol-
unteers, will also be for sale.
This month’s event also
features Stuff-the-Van, when
the FAHS delivery vehicle
will be on hand to load pet
food donated by FAHS sup-
porters.
The food is used to help
feed the cats and dogs at the
shelter as well as to help fam-
ilies who cannot afford to
feed their companion ani-
mals.
Grocery Outlet owner
Woody Woodbury sponsors
this fundraising event for
FAHS and donates all of the
food.
At its July14 meeting,

Chapter helped Dr. Bryan
Mehlhaff
celebrate
his
20th anniversary as a urolo-
gist.
An additional part of
the celebration was honoring
his 11 years attending the
Us TOO Florence meetings.
“His selfless giving of time
has simply been extraordi-
nary, and sharing his expert-
ise has provided monthly
guidance to men dealing with
the disease,” said Us TOO
president Bob Horney. “Dr.
Mehlhaff not only brings the
latest research findings and
practices at Oregon Urology
Institute to our meetings, but
directly and completely
answers every personal con-
cern raised.”
Members
came
from
Bandon, Junction City and
Mapleton, in addition to the
Florence area, to celebrate the
occasion and express their
appreciation.
Three Oregon Urology
Institute staff members also
joined the festivities.
