SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 2018 Horse Realtors offers scholarships through Friday, May 4 from 1A According to Swahili’s website, “These recycled art sculptures are welded outside of Nairobi by metal artists using oil drums and scrap metal. Each (sculpture) is handcrafted from the ground up and exhibits its own unique char- acteristics. … At this time, Swahili Modern is the only company in the U.S. who has the privilege of sell- ing these recycled art sculptures made from oil drums and scrap metal.” The horse has made a long jour- ney, Springer said, from Kenya to the bark at the front of Florence Senior Center. It also had to go through the same selection process that all public art in Florence requires. “We have certain criteria for creativity and artistic aware- ness. Mostly though, at the end of the day, we look for the ‘Wow Factor,’” Springer said. “When you walk up to something, do you go, ‘Wow! Look at that?’ This cer- tainly qualifies.” The Public Art Committee then Transition from 1A Hannigan wants to accom- plish that as soon as possible. “We are currently working with the Nonprofit Association of Oregon to find an interim executive officer to assist the board in navigating through the challenges ahead.

He also discussed the steps OCHS is taking to directly address member concerns. “At the board meeting on April 25, the board repealed the current bylaws and adopted the 2006 bylaws, which bring the organization back to a member- ship organization,” Hannigan said. “We plan to keep the members fully informed on our progress and informed on the financial condition by releasing financial reports and annual audits.” The board is ordering an annual audit and plans to con- tinue to meet with necessary people to change over control The Public Art Committee seeks to improve the quality of life and the livability of Florence. “It’s gratifying that Sam and Ron did this for us. It indicates their confidence in public art and the city, as well as their willing- ness to take a step forward to improving our community. We thank you immensely for this,” Springer said. of the accounts. “Currently, it looks like the humane society is in a good, strong financial condition,” Hannigan said. There has been little contact or communication between the previous board and the current board, with one notable excep- tion — the OCHS Thrift Store on Bay Street. “The Thrift Shop is current- ly being operated by an all-vol- unteer crew, with former board Vice President Ed Gervais remaining in a volunteer posi- tion, to assist the board in mak- ing sure the store continues running smoothly,” Hannigan said.

One of the main goals the new board has set for itself is to maintain open, clear and two-way conversations between the organization and the public. To that end, OCHS will be meeting with members on a regular basis, as well as share plans and information received from audits and policy reviews with those interested. “We plan on holding open board meetings approximately quarterly for members and the press. Monthly newsletters will be sent to all members,” Hannigan said. “I want to assure everyone that we are up to this challenge and look for- ward to a very bright future for the Oregon Coast Humane Society.” For more information on OCHS, call 541-997-4277, stop by the facility at 2840 Rhododendron Drive or visit oregoncoasthumanesociety.org.
