WHAT: Where to Get Fit in Coastal Douglas County guide
WHERE: Lower Umpqua Hospital and other locations
WHEN: As long as supplies last

If you've ever heard someone talking about a local fitness activity and wondered why you had not heard of it before, help is at hand! Lower Umpqua Hospital has produced a publication entitled Where to Get Fit in Coastal Douglas County and is making it available to the community.
In it you'll find a comprehensive collection of walking routes, indoor walking opportunities, jogging trails and fitness activities such as line dancing, gyms, Zumba, Yoga, and more.
Where to Get Fit in Coastal Douglas County came about as a result of comments made in a series of conversations with the community last spring. During the discussion, many expressed surprised at what fitness opportunities were available locally. This fitness guide should address that issue. And it stashes easily in the car, purse or backpack.
Copies of the guide are available (while supplies last!) at the Family Resource Center, Lower Umpqua Hospital, Reedsport Library, Copy Cat, Chamber of Commerce and the Senior Center.
Where to Get Fit in Coastal Douglas County was made possible by a grant from the Office of Rural Health at OSHU.
If you have suggestions for additions or changes, please call Delaine at 271-9700.

The Reedsport Rotary Club has adopted the beach accessed by Sparrow Park Road (just North of Gardiner) during SOLV's Annual Great Oregon Spring Beach Clean-up.
To add to the excitement of this event, Reedsport Rotary and Eugene Glass School are donating glass floats. These floats will be given away by raffle to those who volunteer their time during the clean-up. Participants will receive one raffle ticket for each bag of trash turned in during the day. At the end of the clean-up, names will be drawn and each winner will receive a glass float – limit one per person.
Meet us at the Reedsport/Winchester Bay Chamber of Commerce parking lot (junction of Highways 101 & 38) at 9:30 am. Carpooling and transportation will be arranged that morning to get everyone to the clean-up site. You can also join the group any time during the morning by simply coming to the beach site at the end of Sparrow Park Road.

In the intervening years, Ron has travelled across 60 nations around the world planting numerous Churches, teaching and preaching the powerful message of Jesus Christ. He has been a mentor and father to many men and women of God and has an assignment to touch, teach, and impart the Quickening Power of Jesus Christ to the next three generations.
Meetings will be held Thursday (7:00), Friday (7:00), Saturday (6:30) and Sunday (10:00 am) with a special men's breakfast meeting 8:30 am Saturday. All of the services will include worship, preaching of the word and times of personal ministry. One hallmark of Dr. Ron's ministry is the powerful moving of the Holy Spirit that is manifest through miracles, healings and the prophetic Word. He has an exceptional anointing to release faith in those who hear him, quickening and equipping them for greater works. For more information you can call the church at 541-271-4414.

One day, someone showed me a glass of water that was half full. And she said, "Is it half full or half empty?" So I drank the water. No more problem. -- unknown
