Cindy Haberman, Mary Dimon and Julie Brown, the new administrative team under
Siuslaw Valley and Western Lane’s Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA), met togeth-
er to build their teamwork and create a program to help the community. The women
decided to gather donations of money from the two agencies, friends and members
of Florence Elks Lodge No. 1858 to buy school supplies and first-aid equipment for
students at Mapleton Elementary School. They gathered every supply on the back-
to-school list — enough for 31 students to have a Siuslaw Valley backpack filled to
the brim. A box of extra supplies will go to Siuslaw Elementary School. “We wanted
to do something as a group and give back,” said Brown.
