Hello Members,
Please join us on December 17 – Tuesday for a light meal: Soup, bread, and dessert. We are Inviting members to tell about any activities outside of League to share. This event will be held at the First Presbyterian Church, on Lane Street at 4:00 to 6:00pm. No charge, no need to bring anything.
The Community Advisory Council (CAC) of the Umpqua Health Alliance (UHA) is hosting a public meeting to review the Community Health Assessment (CHA) recently conducted and let the community know about the great things happening with our coordinated care organization (CCO), which serves residents of Douglas County.

I hope you will come to the October 22 – Tuesday meeting. It will be at 1:00 – 3:00p at the Oregon State University Extension Service Roseburg Office in the kitchen meeting room (lower floor) at 1143 SE Douglas St, Roseburg. Please park in the County visitor parking.
This meeting is to review the new web pages for the League, and learn some helpful hints about finding documents/studies and the new Forums. It will be with Mary Sinclair, from Rogue Valley League on a big screen in real time WiFi. You may bring your own laptops, if you wish, but this is not required. The pages have changed and the state League and national League look very much the same. You should register as a member prior to this meeting. Each member can sign on and create their own password now, if you have not already done so.
There are also some new web sites which we should know about. I hope this will be a benefit to members who like to use the internet. I know it may not be for everyone, but we have room for about 20 at this location.
If you are coming, I will send you some documents ahead to look at. SO RSVP BY OCTOBER 18!
If you did not attend the League Forum–Cradle to Career–but are still interested to work on one of the new studies, please let me know.
