Rotary Club program offers
two $2,000 fellowships
Are you a teacher or non-
profit professional looking for
a chance to increase your
skills? Do you want to bring
an exciting new program to
your students or clients that
will require specialized train-
ing?
The Florence Rotary Club’s
Continuing Professional
Education Fellowship pro-
gram is offering two $2,000
fellowships to support local
people who serve our commu-
nity.
The simple application is
due by Friday, March 16, at 6
p.m. To apply, visit theflo-
rencerotary.org, select “Club
Links” from the left menu, and
select “Fellowship Grant.”
Nine years after the Rotary
Professional Education grant
first began, more than a dozen
local teachers and nonprofit
professionals have received
training and education.
Here are some of the results:

Library to host conversation on death, dying
Siuslaw Public Library will
host a community conversation
about death and dying on
Saturday, March 3, beginning
at 1 p.m. at the main branch of
the library in the Bromley
Room. This program is part of
the Conversation Project spon-
sored by Oregon Humanities.
What do we think about
when we think of dying? When
we think about our own dying,
what do we want most?
Death is part of the human
experience; everyone has expe-
rienced loss, and everyone will
die one day. Yet conversations
about death and dying are diffi-
cult and often avoided even
with our closest family mem-
bers and friends.
The human experience of
death and dying is the focus of
“Talking about Dying,” a free
conversation with facilitator
Bob Daley.
This program, sponsored by
Oregon Humanities, provides
neering and design education.
• A local nurse attended spe-
cialized training to increase
her skill in providing direct
service to patients.
• An elementary-school
teacher who was struggling to
engage the highest and lowest
achievers in her classroom
used our funding to attend a
national conference about
using tablets to manage differ-
entiated learning.
This approach advocates the
use of small workstations
throughout a classroom where
students can learn in different
ways — using a computer or
tablet, touching or interacting
with objects, engaging in dis-
cussion or pursuing individual
study.
• A counselor received
training to teach women and
children how to deal with and
prevent domestic abuse.
Anyone engaged in serving
the community is eligible, and
complete details about the pro-
gram are available online at
theflorencerotary.org under
the “Club Links” tab.

Tuesdays, from 6 to 9 p.m.,
April 3 through May 29, at
Lane
County
Waste
Management Division (3100 E
17th Ave. in Eugene).
“Because of recent disrup-
tions in the global recycling
market and the growing aware-
ness that we need to do more to
keep materials out of the land-
fill, this is a great time for peo-
ple who are interested in learn-
ing how they can change their
habits and help lead their com-
munity to improve our recy-
cling practices overall,” said
Master Recycler Coordinator
Kelly Bell.
Applications are available at
www.lanecounty.org/master
recyclers or by calling 541-
682-2059. Completed applica-
tions may be submitted by fax,
email or regular mail.
Retirees, folks new to the
area, teachers, green job seek-
ers, parents, high school and
college students studying sus-
tainability, business owners
and employees tasked with
reducing solid waste in the
workplace all find common
purpose in the Master Recycler
community.
The Master Recycler train-
ing course includes 35 hours of
classroom instruction: nine
consecutive Tuesday evening
classes, a Saturday compost
demonstration
and
two
Saturday multi-site field trips
to area solid waste and recy-
cling sites.
Instructors are local experts
in solid waste from business,
government and non-profit sec-
tors. The course is free for
those who volunteer 30 hours
to educate and assist their com-
munities in the year following
the training.
Those who do not wish to
volunteer may pay a small fee.
More than 960 Lane County
master recyclers have con-
tributed 41,000-plus hours of
education and assistance to
local citizens and businesses
since the program began in
2000.
In addition to attending class
sessions and tours with local
experts, all participants enroll
in Oregon State University’s
Recycling 101 online. The
R101 course was developed by
the Association of Oregon
Recyclers.
Normally
valued
at
$50–$75, R101 is free for Lane
County Master Recycler stu-
dents.

OCF has partnered with the
Office of Student Access and
Completion for nearly 30
years. This state agency makes
the scholarship process espe-
cially simple for students, who
can complete a single applica-
tion form to be eligible for
scholarships from OCF, as well
as from many other public and
private sources.
The challenges that Oregon
students face include the high
cost of post-secondary educa-
tion, OCF found in a 2015
research paper. Oregon is the
seventh least-affordable state
for
low-income
families
attending four-year institutions.
The state’s community col-
leges are third least-affordable
WEDNESDAY THURSDAY
in 15 western states.
Even modest awards influ-
ence enrollment and comple-
tion, and larger awards have
even greater impact, the
research showed.
“We know for many students
cost is a major road block to
achieving post-secondary edu-
cation,” said Max Williams,
OCF President and CEO. “At
the foundation, we want to
break down the barriers that
keep students from achieving
their dreams. Scholarships pro-
vide opportunity for students
who are proving themselves
with hard work.”
OCF awards about 3,200
scholarships to a wide range of
students each year. Available
scholarships include those for
people interested in varying
subjects, from a variety of
schools and with an extensive
range of backgrounds.
See the complete list of
available scholarships at ore-
gonstudentaid.gov. An elec-
tronic application form and
instructions on how to apply
are also available there.
The mission of the Oregon
Community Foundation is to
improve life for all Oregonians
through the power of philan-
thropy. OCF works with indi-
viduals, families, businesses
and organizations to create
charitable funds to support the
community causes they care
about.
