We're PARRtial to PARR Lumber!

I like Parr lumber so much. Cause Marshall is a nice guy. Doug is too! Marshall and Doug are nice. They have a whole bunch of people there. And Shauna. They sell saws and all that. We had hot dogs there. Sausages. Two cricket hotdogs! We walked around.[breaks into the song he sang at the kareoke] "Bye Bye miss American pie, drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry. the good ol' boys who drink whiskey and rye say this will be the day that I die this will be the day that I die." Guess what I saw all that wood that say there like that [motions hand against the ceiling] how come? I go to Parr everyday. Guess what? I go down there on Saturdays and have an egg salad sandwich.

We are so thankful for Parr Lumber for being such great friends with all of us. We had a phenomenal time at the Parr-BQ.

Protest this Thursday downtown!

Join all of us at Project Grow at a rally planned downtown Portland in Pioneer Square Thursday at noon. This rally is to bring attention to the abrupt budget cuts passed by the governor that will be influencing those funded through the Brokerage system in Oregon. Brokerages are: in-home or other personal supports that assist an individual to live in their own home or with family or friends and to fully participate in community life, including work. The rights of individuals relying on these services to experience freedom and the liberty of choice is compromised with this budget cut.

See you Thursday, July 15th, at noon at Pioneer Square in Portland! Email protestthecuts@gmail.com if you want to be included in future opportunities to advocate for better services and a more public decision making process!

It is packed!- A poem by Steven

It is packed!
We need another rack
to fix more bikes in.
Riding bikes is fun
Especially in the sun.
Now we need more than one.
Two more racks
Is what Port City lacks.
That's it.

Builging A- A poem by Steven

We are stuck in building A
With no pay
What can we do today?
I want to go home and play
Oh man.
I need a plan
I could go to Spokane
With Dan.
What can I do
I could go to the zoo
With Stan and pick up the
elephant poo.
