Director Departs Food Share
Oregon Coast Community Action announced today that Rollie Lobsinger will vacate the position of Director of South Coast Food Share with ORCCA effective March 31, 2013.
Mr. Lobsinger has worked in the South Coast Food Share program since 2006 and was instrumental in developing the new food share warehouse and distribution system.
Mr. Lobsinger said, "I have to leave the area to follow some dreams of mine, but I am glad that we were able to distribute more than twice the food than we did in 2006 and we did it during the great recession. I will miss my staff and their dedication."
Michael Lehman indicated that in the two months he has been on the job as Executive Director he has seen a lot of the work Mr. Lobsinger has done for Food Share and thanks him for his efforts. Lehman went on to say that they would spend some time evaluating duties before deciding when and how to fill the vacancy.
South Coast Food Share is a program of Oregon Coast Community Action. ORCCA is a non-profit network of programs that help feed, house, warm, and educate the communities of the South Coast. For more information on ORCCA, please call (541) 435-7080 or visit ww.orcca.us.

PSA for Grandparents ROCK
REP WAYNE KRIEGER will speak to the Grandparents ROCK (Raising Our Children's Kids) group on Friday, April 26, 5:30 – 7:30PM at the Coos Bay Fire Hall, 438 Elrod. The primary topic will be "Grandparents Rights Bill" (HB3249). Rep. Krieger had this bill drafted because when child(ren) are taken from the parents and adopted out, the grandparents were no longer able to have a relationship with them. If the grandparents have had a relationship with the child this bill will help the grandparents to continue that relationship.
EVERYONE is invited to join discussion about this topic and any others that would be meaningful to our community.
Light refreshments will be provided.
If you have questions, please contact Char Luther, 541.297.9256 or email ckluther@hotmail.com .

"Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is the lightening that does the work" -- Mark Twain
"There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and never win titles. Most of the time, those players aren't willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team. The funny thing is, in the end, their unwillingness to sacrifice only makes individual goals more difficult to achieve. One thing I believe to the fullest is that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades will take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships." -- Michael Jordan
