Snow made the announce- ment during two dinners held on MLK Day to celebrate the official total. During dinner, each group contributed to the conversations about what the Salvation Army can do next for western Lane County. “The bulk of the money raised is intended for the for- mation of a new ‘agency fund’ within the Western Lane Community Foundation,” said volunteer Geraldine Lucio, who owns Old Town Barber Shop. “Once established, a fixed percentage of the fund will be paid out annually to the officers of The Salvation Army who oversee programs and services in western Lane County for their use.” Local volunteers and sup- porters plan to hold future events. Both Snow and Lucio were nominated for the annual Siuslaw Awards’ “Volunteer of the Year” distinction. Owners of Darlings Resort and RV Resort shared that they intend to hold their lighted boat parade this summer when bet- ter weather can be counted on, “We had a good turnout in December and we had a num- Council meeting in January 2017.

Owners of The Siuslaw Riverside Restaurant on Bay Street, Blaise Khufu and Melonie Rollin, announced they will offer Making A Difference Dinners quarterly for supporters of The Salvation Army and other local charities and churches to gather socially and discuss what good works can be done to support the area. Frank Nulty, Community Emergency Response Team coordinator, was in attendance and announced that discus- sions are underway to co- sponsor a special training ses- sion in Florence for Central Coast communities from Bandon to Lincoln City this spring. “The Salvation Army’s Emergency Disaster Services Program wants to reach out, especially to church members, urging them to be better pre- pared in advance for any dis- asters that may strike our region of the state,” said Nulty. “However, we have agreed to be sure anyone from the general public may partici- pate.” Bill Olson, Director of Gift Planning for The Salvation Army in the Cascade Division, was on hand to read a note of congratulations from Major Tom Morrow who oversees all of Lane County. In his message, Major Morrow said, “We salute all of the volunteers and supporters of the Red Kettle Campaign and we are amazed that the communities of Mapleton, Dunes City and Florence were able to far exceed their goal of $10,000 by reaching near $17,000 in this their first year of kettle operations in many, many years. “Thank you for a job well done.” For more information or to support the Salvation Army in western Lane County, write to: The Salvation Army - WLC P.O.
