TOY EXPRESS LAUNCHES 25TH ANNUAL BUS JAM DRIVE Pacific Rail Car Operators and Coos Bay Rail Line help Rotary launch a milestone year of giving. The Coos Bay–North Bend Rotary Club is celebrating 25 years of Bus Jam this holiday season, and one of the community tradition’s most colorful partnerships will help kick off another year of giving. The Pacific Rail Car Operators Toy Express is scheduled to arrive at the Coos Bay Boardwalk at approximately 1:15 p.m. Monday, October 19, carrying toys collected along the Coos Bay Rail Line from Veneta to Coos Bay. The annual Toy Express is made possible through a partnership between the Pacific Rail Car Operators and the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay, which operates the Coos Bay Rail Line (CBRL). Toys collected along the journey will support the 25th Annual Bus Jam Toy and Food Drive and Bykes for Tykes Toy and Food Drive. “For 25 years, Bus Jam has been about people and organizations coming together to make the holidays brighter for local children and families,” said one of Rotary’s Coordinators, Randy Thompson. “The Toy Express is a great example of that spirit. Every stop adds more toys and more generosity.” The “speeders” are restored motorcars once used by railroad crews. Today, volunteer operators preserve and operate the historic equipment while supporting communities along their routes. Rotary volunteers, representatives from Coos Bay and North Bend, local firefighters and other community partners will welcome the Toy Express and help unload the toys at the Boardwalk. The public is encouraged to attend, meet the rail car operators and learn more about this year’s Bus Jam. The celebration continues Saturday, December 5, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Coos Bay and North Bend Bi-Mart stores, when the community will once again be asked to help “jam” buses with new, unwrapped toys and food for local families. “This 25th anniversary belongs to the entire community,” Thompson said. “Bus Jam continues because people show up, give and work together year after year.” TOY EXPRESS ARRIVAL Monday, October 19 | Approximately 1:15 p.m. | Coos Bay Boardwalk 25TH ANNUAL BUS JAM Saturday, December 5 | 10 a.m.–3 p.m. | Coos Bay & North Bend Bi-Mart

THE COOS BAY PUBLIC LIBRARY WANTS YOUR PHOTOS! During the month of November, we will be displaying photos all over the Library. First, in our front entry display cases we would like to display photos of local veterans to celebrate and honor them. If you or a family member is a veteran, please bring a photo to the reference desk between October 15 and 31. We will scan the photos and give them back to you and then print out a copy for our display. Also, from October 15 through the 31, we will be scanning photos for display on our Dia de los Muertos ofrenda. The ofrenda, or offering, is a way to honor our loved ones who have died. If you have a loved one who has passed that you would like to remember by having their photo on our ofrenda, please bring your photo to the reference desk and we will scan it and then return it to you and include it on our ofrenda. Finally, we are holding an amateur photo contest during the month of November. Amateur photographers are invited to submit up to two photos between October 15 to 31 to compete in the contest. This year’s theme is “Worth a Thousand Words.” We want to see your pictures that tell a story. This story might be of a fun outing, a rare glimpse of wildlife, or a quirky roadside attraction – you decide. All work must be original, unpublished work that has never been sold and has been taken within the last 12 months. It should be suitable for display and have minimal editing (formatting, lighting and correction only) and use no AI. All work should be submitted as an 8x10 print with an entry form. Photos will be displayed on our art wall throughout the month of November. The photos will be sorted by aged groups for judging: Adults (18+), Teens (13-17), Kids (7-12), and a special non-judged category called Happy Snappers (3-6) to allow young photographers to showcase their first photos. For more details on judging and prizes, please check out our website or stop by the Library and pick up a flyer.

MAYOR'S MESSAGE Remember Judith Ann Mogan This week, our community mourns the passing of Judith Ann Mogan, whose family name and generosity have been woven into the history of Coos Bay and the South Coast for generations. Judith was the daughter of Al and Hilda Peirce, whose family business, Al Peirce Lumber Company, was once a major employer in our community. As the timber industry changed, the family business changed with it, but one thing remained constant: a commitment to the community they called home. Judith and her mother, Hilda, were longtime supporters of youth and education in our area. Their generosity benefited organizations and programs including the Boys & Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon, scholarships for local high school graduates, 4-H, FFA, SMART Reading, and many other community efforts. That tradition of giving continued through Al Peirce Co., supporting important local institutions and projects throughout our region. In 2020, following the sale of the Al Peirce Co. timberlands, a portion of the proceeds was dedicated to establishing the Judith Ann Mogan Foundation. The Foundation was created to continue the charitable tradition begun by Al and Hilda Peirce and carried forward by Judith. Today, the impact of that commitment can be seen throughout the South Coast and here at home in Coos Bay. The Foundation has supported organizations and projects serving children and families, education, health care, the arts, recreation, natural resources, and those in need. Its support can be seen in our parks and public spaces and, perhaps most importantly, in the work of local organizations that serve our residents every day. Judith’s contributions to this community will extend well beyond her lifetime. What began with a family committed to the place they called home continues today through organizations, programs, projects, and opportunities that make a difference in the lives of people throughout our region. On behalf of the Coos Bay City Council and the entire City of Coos Bay, I extend our sincere condolences to Judith’s family, friends, and all those who knew her. We are grateful for her commitment to our community and for the enduring legacy she leaves behind. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay
