Mike Holm, who has worked at Coos Art Museum for many years, is battling cancer once again. He is currently at Baycrest Nursing Home but is hoping he can go home. His bills are mounting and his house must be outfitted to meet his needs.
Mike creates beautiful, imaginative photography. He has photographs on exhibit at two locations:
· Oregon Bay Properties at 1992 Sherman Ave. in North Bend, which is open Mondays through Fridays from 9am to 5 pm.
· High Tide Café on Cape Arago in Charleston, which is open Wednesdays through Sundays from 11 am to 9 pm.
You can see a preview of his talent at his web site, http://www.mikeholm.me/
An interest in his work would boost morale for Mike and some sales would be very helpful to his family.

"I don't think friendships require a certain amount of time, effort, or space. I think friendships are just there and always will be. Friends bring out the beautiful things in each other that no one else looks hard enough to find. Respect and recognize the contributions of others. We never accomplish anything just by ourselves" -- H Jackson Brown
