Abby Gershenzon, Alzheimers Association Regional Coordinator for Lane and Douglas counties, gave a free
presentation at the Bromley Room in the Siuslaw Public Library this week. The event was well attended and
well recieved. “I always feel pleasantly challenged with the folks who attend our programs in Florence, since
people ask really good questions, said Gershenzon. Attendees at this two-class workshop were a combina-
tion of the general public and professionals, with discussions regarding a wide range of topics, including new
legislation on advanced directives, veterans’ benefits, what to do when a loved one is no longer able to drive
safely but refuses to stop, clinical trails available in the area, local transportation alternatives and more.

forming what most people con-
sider scraps into incredible

climate change and shows us
how each of us can make small
changes — all of them deli-
cious — to solve one of the
greatest problems of the 21st
Century.
Admission for the film will

series, targeting important top-
ics through innovative films
and community discussion.
January’s showing of “A
Plastic Ocean” was a sold-out
event and allowed people to
engage with the global issue of
plastic pollution locally.

duced by the Florence Area
Chamber of Commerce, Lane
Small Business Development
Center (SBDC), and Oregon
Regional Accelerator and
Innovation Network (RAIN)
with funding support from the

the Lane Community College

The first Florence Pub Talks
event, titled “Do you know the
three ways you can make more
money right now?” will cover
practical and actionable tips on

tal investments. Businesses,

“The Chamber is excited to

passion to build their business-
es,”
Bettina
Hannigan,

Commerce said. “By working
together we have a much larger
impact, it’s my pleasure to part-
ner with the SBDC and RAIN.”
The Chamber, SBDC and
RAIN provide complimentary
economic development servic-

same clients and members.
After collaborating to host
Business After Hours in
January, the local leaders of
these organizations saw the
value in merging their
resources and communities on
a more regular basis.
“I can’t imagine a better
venue for real-world education
than to be surrounded by moti-
vated, interested and interest-
ing people seeking to improve
themselves, their businesses
and their community,” said
Russ Pierson, Dean of the LCC
Florence Center.
The monthly Florence Pub
Talks will feature industry
experts on a variety of business
topics, from digital marketing
and customer acquisition to
taxes and tourism.
“Florence Pub Talks are
events where entrepreneurs and
business owners can get to
know one other and learn about
each other’s talents,” RAIN
Coastal Venture Catalyst David
Youngentob said. “It’s also an
opportunity for the community
to interact with the Chamber,
SBDC and Oregon RAIN, and
learn more about what we do
for local businesses.”
