MEETING NOTICE FOR DECEMBER 4, 2024

10:45 – NOON (in person and Zoom)

Siuslaw Vision will be FACC’s featured community organization program at the upcoming December 4, 2024 meeting. 

Siuslaw Vision is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has been supporting the Western Lane region’s community-led Vision since 2014. That vision, developed from 2014-2017, is to ensure all people in the Siuslaw region have opportunities to be connected, happy, active, educated, working, and creative. It convenes, catalyzes, and connects individuals and organizations who want to improve the quality of life for people living here. They seek to help people implement locally owned solutions that address community-identified goals. Come to FACC’s December meeting to meet and learn more about Siuslaw Vision’s staff and volunteers.

"Help for the Holidays" was the focus of FACC’s November 6th meeting. A list of holiday events is attached and is also available on the FACC website (www.florenceareacc.org). If we have missed your event or call for volunteers for your event, please email us at florenceareacc@gmail.com  and we will add it and help get the word out.

Upcoming FACC programs you may wish to add to your calendar are:

January 8 – the Florence Siuslaw Lions’ Club Community Coalition, a small but mighty community powerhouse (the first Wednesday is New Year's Day, so note the meeting is a week later than usual)

February 5 – Lane Council of Governments Senior and Disabilities Services

The December 4th meeting starts at 10:45 am in the Bromley Room of the Siuslaw Public Library District, 1460 9th Street in Florence. Attendance is also available via Zoom.

We have good news for those using Zoom. The meeting link you receive with this announcement will work for future meetings as well. We will continue to include a Zoom link in monthly reminders and notices but this link should be good going forward. 

The past few years have involved much change and many new opportunities for expanded social service and community organizations. FACC meetings are a good opportunity to meet some of the new faces and groups working to make life in Western Lane better. Wednesday the 4th of December is also a day when Lane County Public Health's mobile unit will be in the Siuslaw Public Library's parking lot (the first and third Wednesdays of the month). WIC appointments occupy much of their capacity; on December 4 they will also have STI information and testing supplies. The staff from the Disease Investigation team will be offering free rapid testing for syphilis and HIV. Participants can get a $5 gift card to Dutch Bros.
