Soon, CSC will become home for two new AmeriCorps*VISTA volunteers. Jeannie Ramsey, relocating to Corvallis from Los Alamos N.M., will be filling our VISTA Leader position. This one year position was awarded by Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) State Office, and Jeannie will be working with both Tifani Erpelding and Tom Cope in CSC’s ‘Building Bridges’ program. She will also be a lead in support of members and host sites for CSC’s 9-week 6-member Summer Associate program.
The CSC Healthy Kids program is moving forward on all fronts. Both Susan Stewart, covering Lincoln County, and Tifani Erpelding, working across Linn and Benton counties, have been out across our communities in many directions. Each has been meeting with a variety of community groups, arranging to host trainings and other relevant meetings all with the goal to inform parents and caregivers of the new health coverage program for children and youth (birth-18 years). Contact Tifani at 541-758-2641 or Susan at 541-265-8505 for more information. You may also call toll free at 1-888-957-8652.
