Several staff members from ROC posed for photos at the event's start. Afterward, many attendees ducked into the chamber's event room from the rain and chill to chat with ROC staffers and each other while enjoying pigs-in-a-blanket, Valentine's Day cookies, a fruit plate, barbecue smokies, wheat crackers and dip and fruit punch.

Dorene Mosier, Vice-president of Residential Services and SkyRoCit Services, said ROC's participation in chamber coffees, "continues to bring community awareness of our services that we provide. We're a full service provider. We can serve a child, basically when they come into the program, through our childcare programs, then we have our day programs, and then we have our residential settings and our community-based programs."

In recent months, Mosier said, ROC has been expanding into providing residences for current foster children and former foster children transitioning into adulthood. "We've gotten a little bit deeper into the foster care system. We have foster homes in our program, and now we are remodeling a property in town that is going to be for youth transitioning 18 to 21 who are going to transition out of traditional foster care into more independent living settings."

The property is located in the former migrant center just behind the Arkansas Police Department. Work to convert it for ROC's new program is already underway. "Now it's our process of just remodeling the property to be more studio-like apartments. It is an older property, so we're dealing with some challenges there. We're currently meeting with our contractor and working through some of those, but we're projected to be up and running by September," Mosier said.
