12A | SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2019 | SIUSLAW NEWS RAIN presents ‘Life Lessons of an Entrepreneur’ Oregon Regional Accel- erator and Innovation Net- work (RAIN) invites the Florence community to at- tend “Life Lessons of an En- trepreneur: A Fireside chat with Marianne Brisbane” on Thursday, Sept. 26, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The invite will be at The Bodega, 180 Laurel St., Brisbane’s new wine parlor. Join RAIN for a lovely evening of wine and cheese as attendees listen to the entrepreneurial story of long-time Florence patron, Brisbane. Founder of many (at least 5) of the iconic shops and restaurants in Florence, Brisbane recently opened The Bodega. “Come enjoy her new space, hear about her life journey, learn about her thoughts on the Florence entrepreneurial ecosys- tem and take home her top three tips for running a successful business,” said RAIN Venture Catalyst Ariel Ruben. “This is an evening you don’t want to miss.” People can sign up for the event at www.meet- up.com/St ar tup-Flor- ence-Oregon-Coast/ events/264629513/. Ruben is the dedicated RAIN venture catalyst for Florence and Coburg. In this role, she supports re- gional entrepreneurs by connecting them to strate- gic resources for launching and scaling high-growth business ventures, including mentor connections, edu- cational and training pro- grams, and access to capital. These free resources are made possible by partner- ships with The City of Flor- ence, Lane County and the Ford Family Foundation. Oregon RAIN is a non- profit organization run by experienced entrepreneurs that offers free support to rural entrepreneurs, busi- nesses and local investors. Peace Harbor to host free classes at LCC for prospective palliative care volunteers The PeaceHealth Peace Harbor Medical Center Pal- liative Care program will host a series of free weekly classes in October designed to train prospective volun- teers to work directly with both hospice and palliative care patients in the commu- nity. The first class will be on Monday, Oct. 14, from 8:30 a.m. to noon at Lane Com- munity College in Florence, 3149 Oak St. They’ll con- tinue weekly on Mondays through Nov. 25, same hours. The classes include an overview of hospice and pal- liative care; the role of the volunteer; communication and boundaries; grief and loss; and spirituality. Attendance is required for at least five of the six classes. The classes are for personal enrichment, with no grad- ing.
