Welcome Marty Ray...


...as the new Branch Manager of SOFCU Community Credit
Union in Roseburg and North Bend. Marty hails from Auburn,
California, where he worked as a loan officer specializing in
real estate financing for twenty five years.

When asked why he chose to come to work for SOFCU,


Marty’s answer was easy and quick. He agrees with how
SOFCU operates and believes in their philosophy that
“members come first”. Marty grew up in Grants Pass. In fact,
he got his first experience with SOFCU by pulling their weeds
as a teenager. His passion for Credit Unions and what they
represent has only increased over the years. As Marty puts it,
“Members own the Credit Union, so they actually have a say in how the business is
operated. It’s as though you are coming to a family member for your financial needs.”
The Roseburg Branch of SOFCU has 8000 members. Marty’s goal is to grow
membership equal to the Grants Pass Branch.
Marty enjoys spending his free time with his family. He is looking forward to the day
when his wife and two children join him in Douglas County.

rom deer to turkeys, the call of the
wild is strong in Douglas County.
The area’s hills, rivers and deep woods
offer excellent opportunities for sports-
men during respective hunting seasons.
“Douglas County has some of the best, most
diverse habitat in the state,” Oregon Depart-
ment of Fish and Wildlife Southwest Region
manager Steve Denney said. “Virtually every
corner of the county provides habitat for some
wildlife species.”
People interested in the hunting and fishing
available in Douglas County are encouraged to
obtain Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife fishing synopses and the big game
and game bird regulations to check dates,
boundaries and regulations.
These are available at the ODFW office at
4192 North Umpqua Highway, Roseburg, or at
