You can join us there, every Saturday from 11:00am until Noon. We encourage everyone to: Stand Up. Show Up. Speak Up.We volunteer at the Oregon Country Fair (25 years~!) and Portland's Pride Festival (16 years~!)Our goal is to live every moment for what it is worth!May all things be awake. May all things be happy. May all things be at Peace.Thanks for visiting my "space". Thanks for all you do.Please rember this: "All that is gold does not glitter; Not all who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither; Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be kindled; A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be the blade that was broken; The crownless again shall be king." J.R.R. Tolkien
