NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

SIUSLAW PUBLIC LIBRARY, BROMLEY ROOM and ZOOM

June 4, 2025 10:45 – 12:00 PM

(in person and Zoom)

The June 4, 2025 regular monthly meeting of FACC will feature Riverview Center for Growth and, more specifically, its Riverview Crisis Response Program. When our own Western Lane Crisis Response team needs help with youth, it is Riverview they call. Riverview (formerly known as “The Child Center) is a nonprofit organization with over 50 years of service. It was ranked 5^th in the 100 Best Nonprofits to Work For in Oregon in 2024.

If you are able to come in person, you will have the opportunity to meet Julie Williamson, MA, Director of Crisis Services, Elise Gray, Crisis and ISS Supervisor, and Jazmin Bird, Development & Outreach Coordinator. You will learn about their child and adolescent crisis response program, situations that are considered a “crisis,” what to expect if you make a crisis call, who is able or required to consent to treatment, the extensive array of services they provide, and how, if a youth or family is not connected to mental services and is in need, Intensive Stabilization Services (ISS) are implemented to provide interim support until long-term services can be obtained. Their slideshow presentation will be emailed after the meeting to those who request it, but if you can come please do as there is no better opportunity to ask questions and learn from the questions that others ask too.

FACC’s business meeting will follow the presentation. At the meeting FACC Directors and Officers will be elected for the 2025 -2026 fiscal year. Those who have offered to continue to serve in their current positions are Brenda Gilmer, Director, President, and Treasurer; Dylan Huber-Heidorn, Director and Vice-President; Nancy Glines, Director and Secretary; and Monica Kosman, Director. The current board and officers welcome and encourage others to offer to serve. Our current Bylaws provide for eight directors but we have not met that goal for several years.The current president is also treasurer because no one else has offered to assume that role. We welcome nominations from the floor. A 2025-2026 year Budget will also be adopted at the June 4 meeting.

The June 4^th meeting starts at 10:45am in the Bromley Room of the Siuslaw Public Library District, 1460 9th Street in Florence. Attendance is also available via 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 is good going forward unless we notify you of a change.
