Observations & Opportunities From Your President

​Welcome to another exciting month of news, updates and activities!

New Starting Time, Beginning February 15th - 11:00 AM

Our first update involves an adjustment in the time we can enter the restaurant, as The Old Spaghetti Factory has changed their opening time. They will be opening their doors for us at 11:00, rather than 10:45. This will slightly cut short our time for mingling before the meeting, as we still want to value your time, and will begin our meeting again at 11:15. It will help to speed up the line if you’re able to both RSVP and pay online ahead of time, so that those working at the door can be quick and efficient in checking you in.

Thank you so much for your co-operation as we adjust to the changes at our new restaurant! They have been very accommodating for us, and they appreciate our business.

A Big Thank you for Our Speakers Last Month!

Thank you Christina Buehler, for introducing us to your new Free Oregon Super PAC! It sounds like there are many possibilities for connecting with others for trainings, discussions and many kinds of events. I hope we can arrange a time for a bit of hands on coaching – I am one of those who are not extremely savvy with technology, and would like to be able to embrace and participate in all you have planned for your PAC.

Thank you also, Kim Rice for introducing our members who are not currently Precinct Committee People to the great value in this position. This is definitely the Grassroots level of
influence, as it increases the effectiveness of our voices as we elect those we want as our local
leaders. You will hear more about this later!

Membership Coffee Thursday, February 8th at 10 AM.

Do you have a friend who may be interested in joining BHRW? If so, invite them to attend this time of “Casual Coffee & Conversation”! It’s a good time for people to ask questions, learn about who we are and what we do, and decide if they would like to join us! To make sure
they’re on the list, please email Gail at [email protected] or call her at (503)730-0164.

February 15th Speaker, Please join us...

Plan to attend our next membership meeting and listen to Donna Kreitzberg’s, Education Freedom for Oregon explanation of the importance of her two Statewide Educational Initiative Petitions, which we hope to get on the November 5th ballot! These changes can greatly improve the educational possibilities for our children and grandchildren! Come and learn, and find out what you can do to help! 

Watch for the announcement and RSVP invitation for our Membership Luncheon – there is much more I could tell you about, but you’ll just need to come, enjoy new friends and old, as you listen and hear the news fresh for yourselves!

​Elaine Woods, BHRW President
