12A COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL September 28, 2016 D AY OF C ARING RIPARIAN RESTO- RATION: Cottage Grove Peace Health em- ployees and Coast Fork Watershed Council staff spent three hours mulching 300 trees on an active riparian res- toration site on Carolina Creek. Continued from page 3A Antram said. “I never realized how much United Way does in the community, especially here in Cottage Grove.” Habitat’s Linda Oxley said that the Day of Caring helped mo- bilize the organization to plan the sale knowing it would have help to set up the event. “I hadn’t seen how we could make it happen without this many people,” Oxley said. “The volunteers have just been great — they have a positive attitude, and we’ve even recruited future volunteers today. It’s a win- win.” Opal Center Volunteers Joanne Holcomb and Francine Hans spent much of Thursday helping Opal Center Director Leah Murray and owner Ivan Del Sol sort through the relics of the Opal Theater’s many productions in Cottage Grove. Hans, a Peace- Health employee and Cottage Grove resident, said she specifi - cally sought out volunteer op- portunities in her hometown. Visitor’s Center The Lane County Blood Centre and the City of Cottage Grove teamed up on Thursday to help paint the Cottage Grove Visitor’s Center. Headed by the city’s community volunteer co- ordinators, Pete Barrell and Te- resa Cowan, the painting of the center helps rejuvenate the place that most tourists come to fi rst. “It’s a really important job be- cause a lot of travelers do come here to see what the town has to offer, so we want to make sure that it’s welcoming and appeal- ing,” Barrell said. He also added that it was not diffi cult to fi nd volunteers for this job. “This is a community that re- ally cares; all of our volunteers are really enthusiastic.” From the Lane County Blood Center, Marianne Wagley, De- bee Brown and Heather Young helped paint the lobby of the visitor’s center, while Barrell, Cowan and Dar-Ya Grozovs- kaya were repainting separate rooms.

Monday, October 31, 2016 Community Sharing At Community Sharing, Em- erald People’s Utility District (EPUD) volunteered to help chop and stack fi rewood for the program. Scott Coe, general manager at EPUD, oversaw the workers at Community Sharing. “This is a great opportunity for a lot of employees to work with colleagues that they don’t usually ever work with. It’s a great time for networking and to bridge communication gaps for our company, so this whole event is really a win-win,” Coe said. Executive Director of the Community Sharing Program Mike Fleck was also there over- seeing the work. “We really have great part- ners here to help us with this. We have all this fi rewood, and for them to help chop and stack it is really a huge help,” Fleck said. By noon on Thursday, the stack was already well over six feet high and the volunteers were still hard at work. If you are a business and want to set up a booth downtown and be a part of the festivities, contact Travis at the chamber offi ce (541) 942-2411. photo by Sam Wright Volunteer John Norrena helps stack fi rewood for Com- munity Sharing.
