think the title of the programwas.

RR (01:59):
On the Double R Show, we have Jeff Fleming.
And Jeff is with Second Home.
Second Home is what, Jeff?
Jeffrey Fleming (02:05):
Well, I can tell you first and foremost, it
has nothing to do with realestate.
La Roca (02:09):
Okay.
Jeffrey Fleming (02:10):
What we try to do is we're a nonprofit program.
So what we do is we're a homesharing program.
We aim to connect unaccompaniedteen students experiencing
homelessness with host homeproviders, people in the
community who can offer themroom and board so the students
can stay in school, realizetheir gifts and potential,
graduate high school and go onto accomplish their goals in
(02:31):
life.
RR (02:31):
That's
Jeffrey Fleming (02:32):
rather a formidable program.
Yeah, well, it's provensuccessful.
It was launched back in 2010 inBeaverton and it has been
successful since then.
We have just recently, well, Ishouldn't say recently, February
of last year, we launchedSecond Home in Lincoln County.
The reason being is that thereis a lot of homeless youth here
(02:52):
in Lincoln County.
Yes.
More than you would expect?
More than you would expect,yes.
I didn't even know we hadhomeless youth until I started
helping out with Second Home.
And most people who I've talkedto, where I say, hey, there is
homeless youth here, they areabsolutely aghast.
They're surprised.
Because you don't really seethem.
It's not like they're on thecorner holding up signs.
(03:14):
They kind of fly under theradar.
The term that you may hear kindof going back and forth is
called couch surfing, where theystay wherever they can sleep.
So you don't see them, but theyare there.
We work with the Lincoln CountySchool district, they actually
identify students who areexperiencing unstable housing.
(03:34):
And they identify a student whois experiencing unstable
housing.
They can potentially refer themto us if they meet the criteria
for our program.
RR (03:42):
So if a family wants to become involved in the program,
they've got to have somequalifications, some type of
training, something, correct?
So the
Jeffrey Fleming (03:51):
first thing we look for is just if they're able
to provide room and board.
RR (03:54):
Okay.
Jeffrey Fleming (03:55):
Food and shelter.
RR (03:56):
That's it.
Jeffrey Fleming (03:57):
That's all we ask from our host home
providers.
Do you have an extra room?
Do you have extra food?
Can you provide that for ourstudent?
If the answer is yes, we go onto a pretty thorough, detailed
application process where weinterview them.
We do background checks.
We put them through certaintrainings.
The whole thing takes about amonth to a month and a half to
(04:19):
see if they actually arequalified for our program.
RR (04:21):
I would think you would do all the background checks simply
for the protection of thestudent and the family.
Jeffrey Fleming (04:29):
Yes, yes, we do.
You know, I work with students.
So I had to be backgroundchecked through our program.
Everyone who is involved withSecond Home has to go through a
background check system.
Yes.
And so we do that.
And some people have, you know,a background, they have
something that may come up, butthat doesn't necessarily
disqualify them to be a homehost provider in our program.
(04:52):
It kind of depends on thecircumstances, but we do
actually run a background checkon everyone involved in our
program.
RR (05:00):
Now, tell me what I as a potential, it wouldn't be
parent.
Jeffrey Fleming (05:07):
We don't ask our hosts to be parents.
We don't even actually use theword parenting unless it's in
the context of we don't want youto be a parent.
We don't want you to be aparent.
So our hosts are not parents.
Unknown (05:20):
Okay.
Jeffrey Fleming (05:20):
What I tell people is usually you're
providing the material needs ofa parent, not the emotional
needs of a parent.
So in other words, materialneeds of a parent, room aboard,
food and shelter, that's allwe're asking for.
And a potentially positivepresence.
Sometimes we have students whowant to just be left alone.
(05:41):
They're very introverted.
They're very shy.
They just want to be leftalone.
Other students in our program,they want a more interactive
environment.
So we match up a student withthe right home host provider
based on their lifestyle, theirtemperaments, all that stuff.
If they both feel like theywould be a good match for each
other, then we proceedcautiously.
RR (06:00):
Yeah.
I would think it would bedifficult for me if I was in the
program To not try to assumethat parenting role.
It's difficult.
Jeffrey Fleming (06:11):
It is very difficult.
And speaking from a parent,because I'm a parent, you bring
those expectations.
And it's very difficult to getout of that role of parenting.
But we offer continued supportin our program.
we sit down with the home hostprovider and the student and we
(06:32):
go through what's called amediation process where we
clearly establish home chores,house expectations, boundaries,
right?
RR (06:41):
So we're just not coming into the household blind.
That's correct.
Jeffrey Fleming (06:45):
Yeah.
We set everyone up for successto the best of our ability.
And so getting back tomediation, so we have the
student and the home hostprovider interview each other
maybe two or three times.
If they feel like it's a goodmatch,
Son Paul (06:58):
We
Jeffrey Fleming (06:59):
proceed cautiously.
If they don't feel like it's agood match, we don't proceed.
So we don't force anything.
So if they feel like it's agood match, then we go through
what's called mediation.
And in this case, mediation isbasically just to establish, to
fill out the contract, therental contract and the house
expectations and again,boundaries.
So they both are very cleargoing into this home sharing
(07:23):
situation, what to expect andthe boundaries, you know, not to
cross certain boundaries andsuch.
and they both sign off on thosecontracts.
And again, that basically setseveryone up for success.
And if there's ever an issuewhere either the student or the
home provider feels like there'sa boundary crossed, then we go
back to, we actually offersupport to see if we can
(07:46):
overcome that boundary crossing,if you will.
And then if it keeps onhappening, we go back to
mediation, revisit thosecontracts and see if they need
to be renegotiated or justreminded of, hey, these are the
boundaries that we set.
You know, we can't cross those.
And that rarely ever happens.
RR (08:04):
So if a family wants to become involved in the program,
what do they do?
Jeffrey Fleming (08:09):
The first step is to, they can contact me and I
can give you my information.
And then they would contact meand then we would just talk for
a little bit just to see if theywould be right for our program,
see if they have the righthome, see if they're willing to
incur those expenses for food,to see if they're kind of close
to one of the four high schoolsin our county.
(08:31):
And then if everything kind ofworks out at that point during
the initial talk, then theywould go onto our website and
fill out the application.
So my contact information is myphone number is 925-726-9540.
And that's my direct line, mydirect cell.
Again, that's 925-726-9540.
Or my email, jflemming atemoregon.org.
(08:57):
So that's J-F-L-E-M-I-N-G atemoregon.org.
So you can call me, you canemail me for more information,
and we can just chat over thephone for five or 10 minutes
just to see if, again, ifthey're right for our program
and just to realize theexpectations of our program.

We at La Roca are proud of our food, but don't take our
word for it.
Read the reviews.
One person wrote, the servicewas friendly and efficient.
and other rights.
La Roca has become one of ourfavorites because it's authentic
Mexican food.
RR (10:21):
26 years ago, an organization was formed in North
Ligon County to help peoplewith immediate and basic needs.
With us is one of the foundersof Angels Anonymous, Mike
Holden.
Welcome aboard.
Mike Holden (10:34):
Welcome to you too, co-founder.
RR (10:36):
It has been an interesting journey, has it not, Mike?
Mike Holden (10:41):
It has been an interesting journey.
One that we started, had agreat idea, and then someone
asked a dumb question, how arewe going to fund this stuff?
RR (10:50):
And that is a rather significant question.
Mike Holden (10:53):
We thought so.
And fortunately, Jim Davis,another founder, brought an idea
with him from where he's from,and that's the beginning of the
Angel Ball and the Fantasy ofTrees.
But without the casino...
We wouldn't be here today,probably.
RR (11:12):
We'd be out of luck.
Mike Holden (11:13):
We would be.
RR (11:14):
Because not only do they host and provide the space for
us for Fantasy of the Trees andthe Angel Ball, the event coming
up this weekend is really intheir back door.
Mike Holden (11:26):
I think it's next weekend.
Or next weekend, rather.
Yeah, next weekend with the carshow.
That's one I absolutely hate towork.
RR (11:32):
Yeah, I know.
You just really don't likecars.
Mike Holden (11:35):
No, I don't.
And
RR (11:37):
pickups and motorcycles.
Mike Holden (11:38):
Well, yeah, there's that too.
Yeah, I'm looking forward toSurf City.
That's one of the people who'son the board now, Scott.
It was his idea, actually, tobring in a car show and then
taking the money and giving itto a non-profit and he selected
us and that's been a way for 20years at least.
RR (11:58):
Now, Angels Anonymous receives the money of what?
Mike Holden (12:02):
Receives the money from the registration and any
raffle ticket sales.
And SoundOff is the big one.
That's the second day, theSunday, where the...
I think the noise, it's ratherobnoxious noise, but they seem
to think it's a great loudmusic.
RR (12:19):
It is loud.
It is a lot of noise, but it isa lot of money.
Mike Holden (12:23):
It is, and all of that is collected, and then we
will get a check for that aftereverything's tallied up.
Again, the casino, that's justone more fundraiser.
Two of the main fundraisers wehave are casino-involved, and
without their hospitality andgenerosity, we wouldn't be
(12:46):
around.
RR (12:47):
You also serve on another committee that doles out
thousands, well, millions now.
Mike Holden (12:52):
The Slits Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund
Committee.
We're over 19 million.
RR (12:57):
And you have chaired that for some time.
Mike Holden (13:00):
Three or four years, yeah.
I don't think anyone else wantsit.
RR (13:04):
And the money there, Mike, again, comes out of the casino
indirectly, correct?
Unknown (13:09):
Yes.
Mike Holden (13:09):
Correct.
It's a percentage of gaming,not the entire, all the
operation, but just a percentageof gaming is put into this
fund.
And that's as a result ofnegotiations between the tribe
and state of Oregon and what'scalled the Tribal State Gaming
Compact.
And they agreed upon formulasin there.
And the money we put out in2025 is 2023 money.
(13:32):
It takes that long for themoney to come in and everything,
the books all to be cleared.
So this...
Last quarter, we just had lastweek, we had the distribution.
RR (13:45):
And who can apply?
Mike Holden (13:46):
Anybody can apply.
They have to be in the 11counties.
It's on the website,ctsi.nsn.us forward slash
program.
You can put it in contributionfrom the committee.
But anyway, you had the 11counties were restricted.
Again, that's from the statecompact.
(14:08):
And there's also the categoriesin which you can apply for.
And that's within those 11counties, with the exception of
if it's a Native American entityanywhere in the United States,
they can apply.
And there has been money fromthis fund has gone out of state
to tribes.
RR (14:24):
But again, so people fully understand, any nonprofit does
not have to be tribal as long asit's within the 11 counties.
Mike Holden (14:33):
Correct.
Yeah.
RR (14:35):
An example of that would be food banks.
Mike Holden (14:38):
Food banks, that's a big share of it.
A lot in education, historicalpreservation.
It's just a pretty broadspectrum there is what is
covered.
Well, when you have like 120applications, that's over 700
pages at least of reading you dojust to get ready for the
meeting.
And we only recommend to tribalcouncil.
(14:59):
Council can change however theywant to on that, but they're
usually pretty good aboutaccepting our recommendations.
RR (15:06):
That's a lot of money that changes hands to help other
people in the entire 11counties.
Mike Holden (15:13):
Right.
And we're going to see more, Ithink, with the food banks, with
the federal government cuttingway back on like USAID and some
of the other pretty good-sizeddrop, and they're already
scrambling to find money.
So I think we'll have torevisit this next quarter as to
the raise the dollar thresholdprobably on that amount we would
give to food banks.
RR (15:34):
Would you have had a cap on that?
Mike Holden (15:36):
Yes, we had a cap because we only have so much
stock, so many dollars.
So we had to put a cap on someof it.
The others, it just depends onwhat it is.
Sometimes we will recommend thewhole thing, sometimes only
partial funding.
Depends how you write thegrant.
RR (15:52):
Now, why is Mike Holden involved with Contribution Fund,
Angels Anonymous up at thecasino, Surf City up at the
casino.
Why?
What's your tie into it, Mike?
Mike Holden (16:05):
You know, it's an interesting question.
I guess my dad always helpedpeople.
And I think growing up withthat attitude in the back of my
brain, it might be one of thefew things my dad taught me that
I remember.
But you can repeat anyway.
Yeah, I can repeat.
But it's just something thatit's one of those feel-good
times.
When you know you're helpingsomebody.
(16:27):
You can't really, I can'tdefine it.
It's just, that's what it is.
RR (16:32):
And then again, Surf City is cars.
Mike Holden (16:34):
Well, there is that mild thing.
Last year, no, the year beforelast, we had a 1917 Model T come
in.
You
RR (16:44):
cried.
Mike Holden (16:44):
That thing looked like it rolled off the showroom
floor.
He had to have traveled it downhere because it only goes about
30 miles an hour.
But it was beautiful.
Some of the cars are just...
rare and some are, well, I lustafter most of them actually.
RR (17:00):
And again, the car show and we'll have Heather Hatton on
here in a couple of minutes fromChinook Winds talking about the
car show in itself and thesound off, which takes place not
this weekend, next weekend.
Mike Holden (17:13):
Correct.
23rd and 24th.
RR (17:15):
Mike Holden from Angels Anonymous.
And we'll be back.
We'll talk with Heather aboutthe car show right after this.

As we continue our discussionsabout Chinook Winds Casino
Resort, joining us next, HeatherHatton from Chinook Winds
(18:00):
Casino, along with WednesdayReedy.
Welcome, gals.
Good to have you here.
Thank you.
We do want to talk a bit aboutSurf City Weekend.
We had Mike Holden on prior toyou coming on, talking about
what it means as far as afundraising event for the
community.
But what does...
Surf City mean to the casino?
Jana (18:22):
You know, these signature events are really important to
our branding out there.
And like Celebration of Honor,Beach Pickin' and Brews, our
anniversary fireworks.
There's those events that, youknow, put us on the map, so to
speak, that differentiate usfrom a lot of the other
communities.
And I think that how we make itmore special is attaching
(18:45):
charitable events opportunitiesto each of those.
RR (18:48):
Almost every event you do is that way, right?
Jana (18:51):
Yeah, I mean, I would say Anniversary Fireworks is
probably the one that isn't,but...
What I will say about that isthat whether it's on the same
weekend as Kite Festival or it'snot, it is an additional draw,
which drives tourism traffic toour community, which only helps
those businesses when Angels andTaft Boosters and Family
(19:13):
Promise and Rotary and Kiwanis,they are going to those
businesses and asking them fordonations.
Unknown (19:20):
Yeah.
Jana (19:20):
What we can do is we drive traffic to help boost the
revenue during all the months,really.
So even if it's not attached toan event, our sold-out shows
and some of our bigger events,they help bring additional
revenue to businesses maybe on aslower weekend that they
(19:41):
wouldn't be getting that.
RR (19:42):
critically important.
Jana (19:44):
Yeah.
You know, we're filling hotelrooms, which in turn, because
our hotel is sold out quiteoften.
And so all those big eventsalso, you know, fill hotel rooms
throughout the community, whichwhat does that do?
It increases the TLT to the, toexplore Lincoln city, which
helps them promote the area.
So I, and, and it's not justus.
(20:04):
I mean, it's, you know, ifbeach club is doing a big event
or, you know, the outlet mall isa big draw, the glass blowing
is a big draw.
So all these like, you know,And I always say this whenever
people are complaining abouttraffic in town.
I always think, you know, justthink about what that's doing
for the local businesses.
It means money in their door,hopefully.
And that will help when I'mcoming by and asking to donate
(20:28):
something to the booster.
RR (20:29):
And that's really critically important.
Way too many of us fail toremember that those businesses
that are contributing to supportTaft High School, churches,
nonprofits, most of theirrevenue comes from people from
outside
Jana (20:46):
of the area 100% and so when I see that it's like it
takes some extra time to get towork or to get to like today or
leave earlier practice leaveearlier and let somebody in in
line I mean today just cominghere you know somebody kind of
you know it was probably youngdrivers they were in the middle
lane in the turning lane theydecided oh I need to go further
(21:06):
and I was so annoyed I'm likewhat if they're not from here
and if they are I will find outwho their parents are but so I I
just, you know, be kind to themand let them in line.
Let somebody come in that'swaiting at Starbucks to pull
into traffic.
Who knows how long they've beenthere.
RR (21:21):
Not this weekend, but the next weekend.
You've got Surf City andWednesday.
You're involved with that alongwith Heather and the rest of
the staff because it takes allof you, correct?
Wednesday Reedy (21:30):
That's right.
Yeah, this is my first yeardoing it.
So it's going to be pretty newto me.
But I'm excited to see whatgoes on in this event.
And I mean, just like Heathersaid, if this was only
benefiting Angels Anonymous,that'd be great too.
But it's such a chain reactionthat it's It feels good to be
part of all these events forbigger reasons.
RR (21:46):
Registration taking place right now for people who want to
show their cars, trucks,motorcycles, whatever.
Are they coming in?
Jana (21:55):
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know how manywe have pre-registered.
We get a lot that day, as youknow.
The Angels team is therehelping with that and taking the
day of registrations.
But I think we do have quite abit of pre-registration.
I would encourage that.
because you want to be done andready to go and be able to get
(22:17):
parked right that day.
And so please go online and dothat pre-registration.
But we do have a team ready togo.
I mean, your team's there.
RR (22:25):
Okay, now Saturday, you've got the car show.
Sunday, we got the sound off.
Jana (22:29):
Yeah, and I need everybody to realize it's going to be
noisy on Sunday.
It's going to be noisy.
And Saturday evening, it'sgoing to be noisy.
And every year, I will get alot of complaints, but they've
gotten less and less.
We really coordinate with thepolice to and explore Lincoln
City in the city so that whenthey get complaints sent to
them, they also know what thisevent means.
(22:51):
And you know, people have beenthere to sell raffle
RR (22:54):
tickets.
Tens of thousands of dollarsfor Angels Anonymous.
Heather Hatton (22:57):
Yeah.
I mean, over the years, it's anincredible fundraiser.
And so anytime I get somebodywho has been, you know, who I
directly talk to, wheneversomebody comes to me with a
problem, I ask them for thesolution of that problem.
And so if you're coming to mewith that problem where It's
really, it's so loud.
And why are you guys doingthis?
I always turn back on them andsaid, if you have another
(23:19):
opportunity to raise over$20,000 for Angels Anonymous in
one day from 95% visitors, weare willing to listen to your
input.
But until you have a solutionto that, please just put on
headphones, take a drive toSalem, If that is really
(23:42):
bothering you and just come backand know that so much money has
been raised for a great cause.
And they tend to just kind ofcalm down after that because
there's no solution to that.
RR (23:53):
Both you gals and son Paul, who is producing a show all from
Taft High School.
Jana (23:59):
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wednesday moved.
Freshman year.
Freshman year.
She grew up with my oldestdaughter.
They're still good friends.
And she went away to Tucson,got her degree, and she has a
master's in marketing.
And we're fortunate that wewere able to bring her back in
and I'm trying to get her tohelp out the basketball program
a little bit.
So that'd be fun to get herback into volunteering in our
(24:19):
community.
And that's really what isencouraging.
RR (24:22):
You were a pretty good athlete in basketball.
Jana (24:25):
In every sport.
I guess it depends on who youask.
She's like, well, sure I was.
RR (24:30):
Yeah.
Jana (24:31):
Yeah.

RR (01:59):
On the Double R Show, we have Jeff Fleming.
And Jeff is with Second Home.
Second Home is what, Jeff?
Jeffrey Fleming (02:05):
Well, I can tell you first and foremost, it
has nothing to do with realestate.
La Roca (02:09):
Okay.
Jeffrey Fleming (02:10):
What we try to do is we're a nonprofit program.
So what we do is we're a homesharing program.
We aim to connect unaccompaniedteen students experiencing
homelessness with host homeproviders, people in the
community who can offer themroom and board so the students
can stay in school, realizetheir gifts and potential,
graduate high school and go onto accomplish their goals in
(02:31):
life.
RR (02:31):
That's
Jeffrey Fleming (02:32):
rather a formidable program.
Yeah, well, it's provensuccessful.
It was launched back in 2010 inBeaverton and it has been
successful since then.
We have just recently, well, Ishouldn't say recently, February
of last year, we launchedSecond Home in Lincoln County.
The reason being is that thereis a lot of homeless youth here
(02:52):
in Lincoln County.
Yes.
More than you would expect?
More than you would expect,yes.
I didn't even know we hadhomeless youth until I started
helping out with Second Home.
And most people who I've talkedto, where I say, hey, there is
homeless youth here, they areabsolutely aghast.
They're surprised.
Because you don't really seethem.
It's not like they're on thecorner holding up signs.
(03:14):
They kind of fly under theradar.
The term that you may hear kindof going back and forth is
called couch surfing, where theystay wherever they can sleep.
So you don't see them, but theyare there.
We work with the Lincoln CountySchool district, they actually
identify students who areexperiencing unstable housing.
(03:34):
And they identify a student whois experiencing unstable
housing.
They can potentially refer themto us if they meet the criteria
for our program.
RR (03:42):
So if a family wants to become involved in the program,
they've got to have somequalifications, some type of
training, something, correct?
So the
Jeffrey Fleming (03:51):
first thing we look for is just if they're able
to provide room and board.
RR (03:54):
Okay.
Jeffrey Fleming (03:55):
Food and shelter.
RR (03:56):
That's it.
Jeffrey Fleming (03:57):
That's all we ask from our host home
providers.
Do you have an extra room?
Do you have extra food?
Can you provide that for ourstudent?
If the answer is yes, we go onto a pretty thorough, detailed
application process where weinterview them.
We do background checks.
We put them through certaintrainings.
The whole thing takes about amonth to a month and a half to
(04:19):
see if they actually arequalified for our program.
RR (04:21):
I would think you would do all the background checks simply
for the protection of thestudent and the family.
Jeffrey Fleming (04:29):
Yes, yes, we do.
You know, I work with students.
So I had to be backgroundchecked through our program.
Everyone who is involved withSecond Home has to go through a
background check system.
Yes.
And so we do that.
And some people have, you know,a background, they have
something that may come up, butthat doesn't necessarily
disqualify them to be a homehost provider in our program.
(04:52):
It kind of depends on thecircumstances, but we do
actually run a background checkon everyone involved in our
program.
RR (05:00):
Now, tell me what I as a potential, it wouldn't be
parent.
Jeffrey Fleming (05:07):
We don't ask our hosts to be parents.
We don't even actually use theword parenting unless it's in
the context of we don't want youto be a parent.
We don't want you to be aparent.
So our hosts are not parents.
Unknown (05:20):
Okay.
Jeffrey Fleming (05:20):
What I tell people is usually you're
providing the material needs ofa parent, not the emotional
needs of a parent.
So in other words, materialneeds of a parent, room aboard,
food and shelter, that's allwe're asking for.
And a potentially positivepresence.
Sometimes we have students whowant to just be left alone.
(05:41):
They're very introverted.
They're very shy.
They just want to be leftalone.
Other students in our program,they want a more interactive
environment.
So we match up a student withthe right home host provider
based on their lifestyle, theirtemperaments, all that stuff.
If they both feel like theywould be a good match for each
other, then we proceedcautiously.
RR (06:00):
Yeah.
I would think it would bedifficult for me if I was in the
program To not try to assumethat parenting role.
It's difficult.
Jeffrey Fleming (06:11):
It is very difficult.
And speaking from a parent,because I'm a parent, you bring
those expectations.
And it's very difficult to getout of that role of parenting.
But we offer continued supportin our program.
we sit down with the home hostprovider and the student and we
(06:32):
go through what's called amediation process where we
clearly establish home chores,house expectations, boundaries,
right?
RR (06:41):
So we're just not coming into the household blind.
That's correct.
Jeffrey Fleming (06:45):
Yeah.
We set everyone up for successto the best of our ability.
And so getting back tomediation, so we have the
student and the home hostprovider interview each other
maybe two or three times.
If they feel like it's a goodmatch,
Son Paul (06:58):
We
Jeffrey Fleming (06:59):
proceed cautiously.
If they don't feel like it's agood match, we don't proceed.
So we don't force anything.
So if they feel like it's agood match, then we go through
what's called mediation.
And in this case, mediation isbasically just to establish, to
fill out the contract, therental contract and the house
expectations and again,boundaries.
So they both are very cleargoing into this home sharing
(07:23):
situation, what to expect andthe boundaries, you know, not to
cross certain boundaries andsuch.
and they both sign off on thosecontracts.
And again, that basically setseveryone up for success.
And if there's ever an issuewhere either the student or the
home provider feels like there'sa boundary crossed, then we go
back to, we actually offersupport to see if we can
(07:46):
overcome that boundary crossing,if you will.
And then if it keeps onhappening, we go back to
mediation, revisit thosecontracts and see if they need
to be renegotiated or justreminded of, hey, these are the
boundaries that we set.
You know, we can't cross those.
And that rarely ever happens.
RR (08:04):
So if a family wants to become involved in the program,
what do they do?
Jeffrey Fleming (08:09):
The first step is to, they can contact me and I
can give you my information.
And then they would contact meand then we would just talk for
a little bit just to see if theywould be right for our program,
see if they have the righthome, see if they're willing to
incur those expenses for food,to see if they're kind of close
to one of the four high schoolsin our county.
(08:31):
And then if everything kind ofworks out at that point during
the initial talk, then theywould go onto our website and
fill out the application.
So my contact information is myphone number is 925-726-9540.
And that's my direct line, mydirect cell.
Again, that's 925-726-9540.
Or my email, jflemming atemoregon.org.
(08:57):
So that's J-F-L-E-M-I-N-G atemoregon.org.
So you can call me, you canemail me for more information,
and we can just chat over thephone for five or 10 minutes
just to see if, again, ifthey're right for our program
and just to realize theexpectations of our program.

RR (10:21):
26 years ago, an organization was formed in North
Ligon County to help peoplewith immediate and basic needs.
With us is one of the foundersof Angels Anonymous, Mike
Holden.
Welcome aboard.
Mike Holden (10:34):
Welcome to you too, co-founder.
RR (10:36):
It has been an interesting journey, has it not, Mike?
Mike Holden (10:41):
It has been an interesting journey.
One that we started, had agreat idea, and then someone
asked a dumb question, how arewe going to fund this stuff?
RR (10:50):
And that is a rather significant question.
Mike Holden (10:53):
We thought so.
And fortunately, Jim Davis,another founder, brought an idea
with him from where he's from,and that's the beginning of the
Angel Ball and the Fantasy ofTrees.
But without the casino...
We wouldn't be here today,probably.
RR (11:12):
We'd be out of luck.
Mike Holden (11:13):
We would be.
RR (11:14):
Because not only do they host and provide the space for
us for Fantasy of the Trees andthe Angel Ball, the event coming
up this weekend is really intheir back door.
Mike Holden (11:26):
I think it's next weekend.
Or next weekend, rather.
Yeah, next weekend with the carshow.
That's one I absolutely hate towork.
RR (11:32):
Yeah, I know.
You just really don't likecars.
Mike Holden (11:35):
No, I don't.
And
RR (11:37):
pickups and motorcycles.
Mike Holden (11:38):
Well, yeah, there's that too.
Yeah, I'm looking forward toSurf City.
That's one of the people who'son the board now, Scott.
It was his idea, actually, tobring in a car show and then
taking the money and giving itto a non-profit and he selected
us and that's been a way for 20years at least.
RR (11:58):
Now, Angels Anonymous receives the money of what?
Mike Holden (12:02):
Receives the money from the registration and any
raffle ticket sales.
And SoundOff is the big one.
That's the second day, theSunday, where the...
I think the noise, it's ratherobnoxious noise, but they seem
to think it's a great loudmusic.
RR (12:19):
It is loud.
It is a lot of noise, but it isa lot of money.
Mike Holden (12:23):
It is, and all of that is collected, and then we
will get a check for that aftereverything's tallied up.
Again, the casino, that's justone more fundraiser.
Two of the main fundraisers wehave are casino-involved, and
without their hospitality andgenerosity, we wouldn't be
(12:46):
around.
RR (12:47):
You also serve on another committee that doles out
thousands, well, millions now.
Mike Holden (12:52):
The Slits Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund
Committee.
We're over 19 million.
RR (12:57):
And you have chaired that for some time.
Mike Holden (13:00):
Three or four years, yeah.
I don't think anyone else wantsit.
RR (13:04):
And the money there, Mike, again, comes out of the casino
indirectly, correct?
Unknown (13:09):
Yes.
Mike Holden (13:09):
Correct.
It's a percentage of gaming,not the entire, all the
operation, but just a percentageof gaming is put into this
fund.
And that's as a result ofnegotiations between the tribe
and state of Oregon and what'scalled the Tribal State Gaming
Compact.
And they agreed upon formulasin there.
And the money we put out in2025 is 2023 money.
(13:32):
It takes that long for themoney to come in and everything,
the books all to be cleared.
So this...
Last quarter, we just had lastweek, we had the distribution.
RR (13:45):
And who can apply?
Mike Holden (13:46):
Anybody can apply.
They have to be in the 11counties.
It's on the website,ctsi.nsn.us forward slash
program.
You can put it in contributionfrom the committee.
But anyway, you had the 11counties were restricted.
Again, that's from the statecompact.
(14:08):
And there's also the categoriesin which you can apply for.
And that's within those 11counties, with the exception of
if it's a Native American entityanywhere in the United States,
they can apply.
And there has been money fromthis fund has gone out of state
to tribes.
RR (14:24):
But again, so people fully understand, any nonprofit does
not have to be tribal as long asit's within the 11 counties.
Mike Holden (14:33):
Correct.
Yeah.
RR (14:35):
An example of that would be food banks.
Mike Holden (14:38):
Food banks, that's a big share of it.
A lot in education, historicalpreservation.
It's just a pretty broadspectrum there is what is
covered.
Well, when you have like 120applications, that's over 700
pages at least of reading you dojust to get ready for the
meeting.
And we only recommend to tribalcouncil.
(14:59):
Council can change however theywant to on that, but they're
usually pretty good aboutaccepting our recommendations.
RR (15:06):
That's a lot of money that changes hands to help other
people in the entire 11counties.
Mike Holden (15:13):
Right.
And we're going to see more, Ithink, with the food banks, with
the federal government cuttingway back on like USAID and some
of the other pretty good-sizeddrop, and they're already
scrambling to find money.
So I think we'll have torevisit this next quarter as to
the raise the dollar thresholdprobably on that amount we would
give to food banks.
RR (15:34):
Would you have had a cap on that?
Mike Holden (15:36):
Yes, we had a cap because we only have so much
stock, so many dollars.
So we had to put a cap on someof it.
The others, it just depends onwhat it is.
Sometimes we will recommend thewhole thing, sometimes only
partial funding.
Depends how you write thegrant.
RR (15:52):
Now, why is Mike Holden involved with Contribution Fund,
Angels Anonymous up at thecasino, Surf City up at the
casino.
Why?
What's your tie into it, Mike?
Mike Holden (16:05):
You know, it's an interesting question.
I guess my dad always helpedpeople.
And I think growing up withthat attitude in the back of my
brain, it might be one of thefew things my dad taught me that
I remember.
But you can repeat anyway.
Yeah, I can repeat.
But it's just something thatit's one of those feel-good
times.
When you know you're helpingsomebody.
(16:27):
You can't really, I can'tdefine it.
It's just, that's what it is.
RR (16:32):
And then again, Surf City is cars.
Mike Holden (16:34):
Well, there is that mild thing.
Last year, no, the year beforelast, we had a 1917 Model T come
in.
You
RR (16:44):
cried.
Mike Holden (16:44):
That thing looked like it rolled off the showroom
floor.
He had to have traveled it downhere because it only goes about
30 miles an hour.
But it was beautiful.
Some of the cars are just...
rare and some are, well, I lustafter most of them actually.
RR (17:00):
And again, the car show and we'll have Heather Hatton on
here in a couple of minutes fromChinook Winds talking about the
car show in itself and thesound off, which takes place not
this weekend, next weekend.
Mike Holden (17:13):
Correct.
23rd and 24th.
RR (17:15):
Mike Holden from Angels Anonymous.
And we'll be back.
We'll talk with Heather aboutthe car show right after this.

As we continue our discussionsabout Chinook Winds Casino
Resort, joining us next, HeatherHatton from Chinook Winds
(18:00):
Casino, along with WednesdayReedy.
Welcome, gals.
Good to have you here.
Thank you.
We do want to talk a bit aboutSurf City Weekend.
We had Mike Holden on prior toyou coming on, talking about
what it means as far as afundraising event for the
community.
But what does...
Surf City mean to the casino?
Jana (18:22):
You know, these signature events are really important to
our branding out there.
And like Celebration of Honor,Beach Pickin' and Brews, our
anniversary fireworks.
There's those events that, youknow, put us on the map, so to
speak, that differentiate usfrom a lot of the other
communities.
And I think that how we make itmore special is attaching
(18:45):
charitable events opportunitiesto each of those.
RR (18:48):
Almost every event you do is that way, right?
Jana (18:51):
Yeah, I mean, I would say Anniversary Fireworks is
probably the one that isn't,but...
What I will say about that isthat whether it's on the same
weekend as Kite Festival or it'snot, it is an additional draw,
which drives tourism traffic toour community, which only helps
those businesses when Angels andTaft Boosters and Family
(19:13):
Promise and Rotary and Kiwanis,they are going to those
businesses and asking them fordonations.
Unknown (19:20):
Yeah.
Jana (19:20):
What we can do is we drive traffic to help boost the
revenue during all the months,really.
So even if it's not attached toan event, our sold-out shows
and some of our bigger events,they help bring additional
revenue to businesses maybe on aslower weekend that they
(19:41):
wouldn't be getting that.
RR (19:42):
critically important.
Jana (19:44):
Yeah.
You know, we're filling hotelrooms, which in turn, because
our hotel is sold out quiteoften.
And so all those big eventsalso, you know, fill hotel rooms
throughout the community, whichwhat does that do?
It increases the TLT to the, toexplore Lincoln city, which
helps them promote the area.
So I, and, and it's not justus.
(20:04):
I mean, it's, you know, ifbeach club is doing a big event
or, you know, the outlet mall isa big draw, the glass blowing
is a big draw.
So all these like, you know,And I always say this whenever
people are complaining abouttraffic in town.
I always think, you know, justthink about what that's doing
for the local businesses.
It means money in their door,hopefully.
And that will help when I'mcoming by and asking to donate
(20:28):
something to the booster.
RR (20:29):
And that's really critically important.
Way too many of us fail toremember that those businesses
that are contributing to supportTaft High School, churches,
nonprofits, most of theirrevenue comes from people from
outside
Jana (20:46):
of the area 100% and so when I see that it's like it
takes some extra time to get towork or to get to like today or
leave earlier practice leaveearlier and let somebody in in
line I mean today just cominghere you know somebody kind of
you know it was probably youngdrivers they were in the middle
lane in the turning lane theydecided oh I need to go further
(21:06):
and I was so annoyed I'm likewhat if they're not from here
and if they are I will find outwho their parents are but so I I
just, you know, be kind to themand let them in line.
Let somebody come in that'swaiting at Starbucks to pull
into traffic.
Who knows how long they've beenthere.
RR (21:21):
Not this weekend, but the next weekend.
You've got Surf City andWednesday.
You're involved with that alongwith Heather and the rest of
the staff because it takes allof you, correct?
Wednesday Reedy (21:30):
That's right.
Yeah, this is my first yeardoing it.
So it's going to be pretty newto me.
But I'm excited to see whatgoes on in this event.
And I mean, just like Heathersaid, if this was only
benefiting Angels Anonymous,that'd be great too.
But it's such a chain reactionthat it's It feels good to be
part of all these events forbigger reasons.
RR (21:46):
Registration taking place right now for people who want to
show their cars, trucks,motorcycles, whatever.
Are they coming in?
Jana (21:55):
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know how manywe have pre-registered.
We get a lot that day, as youknow.
The Angels team is therehelping with that and taking the
day of registrations.
But I think we do have quite abit of pre-registration.
I would encourage that.
because you want to be done andready to go and be able to get
(22:17):
parked right that day.
And so please go online and dothat pre-registration.
But we do have a team ready togo.
I mean, your team's there.
RR (22:25):
Okay, now Saturday, you've got the car show.
Sunday, we got the sound off.
Jana (22:29):
Yeah, and I need everybody to realize it's going to be
noisy on Sunday.
It's going to be noisy.
And Saturday evening, it'sgoing to be noisy.
And every year, I will get alot of complaints, but they've
gotten less and less.
We really coordinate with thepolice to and explore Lincoln
City in the city so that whenthey get complaints sent to
them, they also know what thisevent means.
(22:51):
And you know, people have beenthere to sell raffle
RR (22:54):
tickets.
Tens of thousands of dollarsfor Angels Anonymous.
Heather Hatton (22:57):
Yeah.
I mean, over the years, it's anincredible fundraiser.
And so anytime I get somebodywho has been, you know, who I
directly talk to, wheneversomebody comes to me with a
problem, I ask them for thesolution of that problem.
And so if you're coming to mewith that problem where It's
really, it's so loud.
And why are you guys doingthis?
I always turn back on them andsaid, if you have another
(23:19):
opportunity to raise over$20,000 for Angels Anonymous in
one day from 95% visitors, weare willing to listen to your
input.
But until you have a solutionto that, please just put on
headphones, take a drive toSalem, If that is really
(23:42):
bothering you and just come backand know that so much money has
been raised for a great cause.
And they tend to just kind ofcalm down after that because
there's no solution to that.
RR (23:53):
Both you gals and son Paul, who is producing a show all from
Taft High School.
Jana (23:59):
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wednesday moved.
Freshman year.
Freshman year.
She grew up with my oldestdaughter.
They're still good friends.
And she went away to Tucson,got her degree, and she has a
master's in marketing.
And we're fortunate that wewere able to bring her back in
and I'm trying to get her tohelp out the basketball program
a little bit.
So that'd be fun to get herback into volunteering in our
(24:19):
community.
And that's really what isencouraging.
RR (24:22):
You were a pretty good athlete in basketball.
Jana (24:25):
In every sport.
I guess it depends on who youask.
She's like, well, sure I was.
RR (24:30):
Yeah.
Jana (24:31):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's got a lot of talent inthose areas and she's been doing
some one-on-one with my littleKatie bug.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
