COCBR announces
new executive officer
Danella Bass recent-
ly replaced Shauna
Boyd as the Central
Oregon Coast Board of
Realtors
(COCBR)
executive officer.
Uniquely, it was a
switch in locations; as
Bass left the Salem
RMLS
office
for
Florence, Boyd left the
Florence RMLS office
for Salem.
Bass has spent the
last 2-and-a-half years
working in Salem. She
was excited to have
this opportunity to
come to Florence and work
here as both the local RMLS
coordinator and the COCBR
executive officer.
Florence Community PTA wants to ‘link you up’
The Florence Community
PTA wants to link up with
1,000 Fred Meyer card cus-
tomers by the end of this
school year.
Don’t pass on this chance
to support local schools
every time you shop at Fred
Meyer,
which
has
a
Community Rewards pro-
gram that will give cash
money to the Florence
Community PTA. Every
Fred Meyer cardholder can
sign up to provide the PTA
with free cash from every
purchase, from any Fred
Meyer in the Pacific
Northwest. The Fred Meyer
Rewards program is offered
in addition to fuel points,
rewards points and monthly
rebates — so signing up to
reward community cash to
the PTA won’t diminish any
of your current customer
benefits.
Linking up is simple. Just

Small and rural schools
need the support of the
extended Florence commu-
nity. Fred Meyer is offering a
simple way to contribute to
all of the student programs
and teacher grants provided
by the Florence Community
PTA.
Who are PTA members?
Currently, the Florence
PTA is made up of 56 per-
cent teachers and staff, 25
percent parents, and 19 per-
cent community members.
Print a membership form
and learn more at www.
FlorenceCommunityPTA.or
g.What does the Florence
PTA do? It provides teacher
and staff grants for pro-
grams, supplies, curriculum
and equipment to all schools
in the Siuslaw School
District.
The PTA give more than
$6,000 annually to fund
hands-on arts and science,
the culinary kitchen, field
trips and more. PTA also
pays for senior scholarships
for future teachers, outdoor
education, drama classes,
science fairs, and Civil War
re-enactments, in addition to
sponsoring events like the
Book Fair Diner, annual tal-
ent show, and the Fall
Fitness Fair.
Where does PTA funding
come from?
Primarily from fundrais-
ing like the Fred Meyer
Rewards program. For the
past several years, Safeway
used the eScrip program to
support local nonprofits.
With almost 1,000 local par-
ticipants, Florence PTA
received an average of $900
per month in donations.
Unfortunately, Safeway’s
corporate headquarters has
decided to discontinue the
eScrip program. The second
largest income source for
PTA is collection of Box
Tops for Education. Sadly,
that program is being discon-
tinued by Campbell’s in June
2017.
Florence PTA needs
another funding source.
As of March 1, 2016, the
PTA has just 35 Fred Meyer
customers registered for
Community Rewards.
Take a few minutes to sign
up and help raise that num-
ber to 1,000 by the end of the
2016 school year.
City Lights offering exclusive live film preview series
The New York Film Critics
Series (NYFCS), a premiere
screening company, has part-
nered with the nation’s lead-
ing independent cinemas,
including
City
Lights
Cinemas, to present live, in-
theater events.
The evenings are moderat-
ed by Peter Travers, film crit-
ic for Rolling Stone Magazine
and ABC’s Popcorn.
NYFCS offers screenings
of movies before their theatri-
cal release and presents inter-
active, big-screen and HD
broadcast with the stars and
filmmakers.
“Instead of waiting for
weeks for some specialty film
releases, this series gives
Florence the chance to be
among the first in the nation
to experience the film — and
see interviews that won’t be
seen anywhere else but inside
a theatre,” says Michael
Falter, owner of City Lights
Cinemas.
The next NYFCS event, the
first to appear at City Lights,
will be March 16, at noon and
7:30 p.m., with preview
screenings
of
“The
Confirmation” with live on
screen appearances by Clive
Owen, Jaeden Lieberher and
writer/director Bob Nelson.
Owen shines in this come-
dy about an estranged father
and son whose weekend
adventure leads to something
they never imagined: a true
family connection.
“I loved Nelson’s Oscar
nominated film “Nebraska,”
and his new film is equally
knowing about father/son
relationships, which I think
Florence audiences will
appreciate,” says Falter.
Regular ticket prices apply:
$9 regular, $8 for senior,
$7.50 for matinees and $6.50
for City Lights membership
holders.

Should the Siuslaw Region
have a community center, with
indoor play space? Reliable
transportation between Dead-
wood and the coast? Enhanced
fiber optics? Affordable hous-
ing? Better access to health
care?
On Wednesday, March 16,
community members will
gather at a Siuslaw Pathways
Regional Forum to hear the
results of the Siuslaw Vision
Project and begin to identify
key action items that will
enhance our community.
The family friendly event is
open to all interested commu-
nity members living in the
region. It will be held from 6 to
8 p.m. at the Florence Senior
Center community meeting
space, 1570 Kingwood St.
Light refreshments will be
served and there will be play
space for young children.
The forum is the culmina-
tion of the community vision-
ing process that began with an
online survey about communi-
ty vitality and has continued
through a series of community
meetings and targeted focus
group discussions.
“I see a lot of social media
posts about what is missing
here and what would make it
an even better place to live,”
said Becky Goehring, a co-
leader of the Pathways
Visioning Project. “This is an
opportunity for people to step
up and help champion key pri-
orities that will strengthen our
region.”
The first part of the meeting
will include a presentation and
discussion of the Vision
Statement. During the second
half, participants will choose
an action area and begin
exploring ways to move that
idea forward.
The Siuslaw Region shares
the same boundaries as the
Mapleton and Siuslaw School
Districts and includes the com-
munities of Deadwood, Swiss-
home, Mapleton, Florence and
Dunes City. All ages are wel-
come.
The project has been sup-
ported by The Ford Family
Foundation, the City of
Florence, Florence Rotary and
the Siuslaw Library District,
along with community sup-
port.
For more information, con-
tact Liz Vollmer-Buhl, project
manager, at 541-520-2401, or
