The Coin

Small change adds up – let it begin with you.

At CAWOOD, we embrace change – even the change we don’t want to see. Why? Change challenges us. Change stretches us. Change provides opportunities.

We’re giving out these coins to people who inspire us, and we’re asking them to pass the coins along to someone else. Because we believe small change adds up.

Check out the stories that go with the passing of the coins. Then, post your story!

  2. Today I saw a few people cleaning up graffiti, and since I always wonder, "Who actually has to clean that up?" I stopped to ask. Bob, Claudia and John, of the Huckleberry Volunteer Crew were the ones, scrubbing away. Thanks for keeping our neighborhood nice! Unfortunately I only had two coins in my purse, but Bob was so kind and let Claudia and John take them. I am certain these three will continue to do good in our community.
  3. We hosted the CAWOOD Carnival for the Cure last month, a fundraiser for the first Komen Eugene Race for the Cure. In the midst of preparing for both the carnival and the race, I received a phone call from New Jersey. This gentleman heard about our carnival through a social networking outlet, found our website and took the time to call and express his admiration and gratitude for our efforts. I really think this is the type of action that breeds change and positivity - taking the time to recognize and acknowledge good deeds. Thank you for leading by example, Merrill! (He will receive a coin by mail!)
  4. I received this coin from Boyd Bjorkquist a few months back and just held onto it to think about those who have had so much of an impact on my life. One thinks immediately of his parents, which i did. The many lessons related to integrity, honesty, and work ethic that shaped the person I am. But I am passing this coin onto H.D.Wedell, who i first met in the parking lot of Neah-Kah-Nie high school when he came for a job interview right out of college. Although we had the almost immediate clash of Duck vs. Beaver, we became friends for life. H is the person, through example, that led me to making a commitment to Jesus,(and Boyd finished the deal) which I will say was the greatest gift I ever received, and I will be eternally grateful to him.
  5. The Pump Cafe has catered a couple of meetings I've coordinated - Trudy and her staff sure made my job easy! I sent Trudy a coin last week to let her know how wonderful she and her team are to work with! Not only was the food delicious, the price point was good and the service was unmatched. Lunch was delivered timely and piping hot, and they arrived for clean up minutes after I called to let them know the meeting was over. Trudy and The Pump Cafe Team, I can't wait to work with you again! Thank you! (And if you haven't tried their Marion berry cobbler, I suggest you do so!)
  6. After waiting for my dog food to run out, I was finally able to give the manager of Bon Appétit Bakery & Bare Bones Dog Wash a coin this last weekend. I am at a point in my life where my children still have four legs. Or you could simply say that my dogs are spoiled rotten. In spoiling our “children” my husband and I have selected their food and treats very carefully. Until we started going to Bon Appétit Bakery we were left to do the research on our own. Now I simply run up the street and get a wealth of information, price comparisons, and a friendly warm person to chat with! To you dog lovers out there, I highly recommend Bon Appétit Bakery at 1025 River Road.
  7. My Rotary Club has a Sustainability Committee, and every member is really engaged in putting together useful information to help our Club's members take steps that keep their businesses minimize waste and maximize profits. I'm proud to be part of the group, and everyone of them deserves a coin! (And most got one at our last meeting.)
  8. I had to make a second trip to Circle K during a lunch break last week. Originally I stopped for a beverage, and it wasn’t until I’d walked a few laps around the block that I realized how much more enjoyable my laps were after a good laugh with Trey. Trey works at Circle K and is a perfect example of how far simply being friendly can go. Thanks Trey!
  9. Brent and I recently purchased our first home and with that came insurance. What would we do if a pipe burst? What would happen if someone slipped on our front porch? What about a tree falling onto the house? All of these are very scary questions but, with the right insurance, you can sleep comfortably knowing you’re covered. After researching various companies and agents around town, we found Kevin Reimer with American Family. He’s been willing to answer the thousands of questions I’ve had about home, auto and life insurance. His knowledge and willingness to help in an emergency creates change for any families that finds themselves in an unfortunate situation. I hope that I don’t ever actually need to call him to file a claim but I know that if I do, he’s going to be there to help us.
  10. I am so happy to pass six coins on to six wonderful women! Bev, Shelly, Danielle, Addy, Gina and Judy are managers at Lane County Curves locations. These ladies and their members raised $820.00 during Breast Cancer Awareness Month for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation. Additionally, 155 members made appointments for their mammograms. Talk about healthy changes, they are leading the way! Thanks so much!
