2014 JUNE NEWSLETTER

The 2014 June Newsletter can be found here.


Please share with friends and help us have a great turnout for the Something Old, Something New Conversation About Marriage. Leslie Dunlap, a professor at Willamette, will lead the discussion and talk about changes in the institution of marriage over time and in different cultures. Should be fascinating–and we’re thrilled to have an Oregon Humanities program right here in Newport. That’s Wed., June 11 at 6 pm at St. Stephen’s, SW 9th & Hurbert, in Newport. BRING YOUR FRIENDS!

And don’t miss the showing of “Inequality for All” at the Bijou at 11 am on Saturday, June 7. It’s a benefit for NOW–a great film & discussion for only $8.
