http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/RaymondHino/214 I was really sorry to hear that Carol Holmes has left the Tehachapi News.&nbsp; She will be missed not only by me, but by the entire community.&nbsp; One thing that I will always appreciate about Carol was her passion to get a new Resource Center established in Tehachapi in order to aide children and families.&nbsp; A couple of years ago Carol escorted several of us to the Resource Center in Lamont which is doing great things.&nbsp; I hope that one day we will be able to build a similar center so that Carol's passion and efforts will not be in vain.&nbsp; The Tehachapi Collaborative, a new organization in the community with representatives from Public Health, School District, Kern County Human Services, Sheriffs Advisory Committee, CERT, hospital, Head Start and many more very important agencies in our community.&nbsp; The Collaborative held a fundraising yard sale last weekend at the home of Ernest Lopez which was very successful.&nbsp; Thank you to Ernest and Rose Lopez for the use of your beautiful home in Golden Hills.&nbsp; The Collaborative will also be joining with the Tehachapi Valley Healthcare District on Saturday, October 7 to present the this years Health Fair.&nbsp; We hope to see you all there.
