Brian Mein Funny Man, Community Volunteer, Chamber Ambassador and Owner of Caveman Travel, a TravelLeaders member agency
H
aving previous experience in coordinating group cruises and destination trips, when Brian considered buying Caveman Travel several years ago, it seemed like a good idea. Now 12 years later, Brian is still having fun customizing trips and helping customers avoid the pitfalls of "DIY" travel arrangements. During the "lean years" of the early availabilty of online reservations, there was a stretch were he wondered why he had invested in a business that seemed to be "going away." But soon it became clear that he had learned a lot about getting great value for the money for his clients through those times. Although finding the best price is at the top of the wishlist for his typical traveler, Brian's philosophy leans more toward value, and less on "cheap." For example, instead of saving $30 on a flight with multiple stops, Brian and Caveman Travel look at a single stop and more time at the destination instead of an airport. The most common request Brian gets is "can you get me a the best deal?" And his common response, "I laugh when people ask me for the best deal...we are ALWAYS looking for the best deal... and that "deal" means getting you the MOST VALUE for your money, not just a cheap price." Brian's second most common inquiry is his favorite place to travel. And his response... "Look at a globe."

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library
T
he four Rotary clubs in Josephine County have teamed up with Josephine Community Library District and Josephine County Library Foundation to bring the Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to families in our community. So far, $58,000 has been raised towards their goal of $200,000 for this five-year program. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting program that mails free books to children every month from birth to age five in participating communities. Through this program, every child under the age of five in Josephine County is qualified to receive a book by mail, at no cost to their families, every month until their fifth birthday. As of May 1, 2018, Children can register for FREE thanks to Rotary, AllCare Health, and Josephine County Library Foundation. Here’s how: 1. Stop by your nearest library branch in Grants Pass, Illinois Valley, Williams, or Wolf Creek and fill out a paper registration form, or 2. Visit josephinelibrary.org to complete an online registration form.
The first book every child receives is The Little Engine That Could, which is Dolly Parton’s favorite book. The message of the book is timeless, encouraging children to never give up, do their best, and stay positive no matter what. To see the complete list of books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, visit www. imaginationlibrary.com/usa/booklist.
Sponsors for this program include AllCare Health, Hart Insurance, Josephine County Library Foundation, Oregon Pacific Financial Advisors, Inc., the four Rotary Clubs in Josephine County, and Welch Investment Group, LLC.
