Portland Peace Choir: Presenting World Music on Sunday, November 22, at 4:00 p.m. This event is FREE! Join us at St David's Episcopal Church, 2800 SE Harrison St. Portland OR and visit our website at www.portlandpeacechoir.org

Why we sing

Singing in a Peace Choir is about much more than making music. It's a radical act of optimism- knowing that what we do makes a difference. It’s engaging in activism. It builds community. We who sing in Portland Peace Choir believe in what we are singing. We see our music as a path to creating more peace not only in our own lives, but for our families, our neighbors, our nations and the world.

On Wednesday 11/19, Gordon Price will give a free presentation on the effective integration of transportation in high-density environments with an emphasis on land use.  If you've seen Price speak before, fear not!  He always has a new presentation and a trick or two up his sleeve...

Did you follow the passion of your soul/inner self?   Is your lifework as an adult based on the passion arising from your authentic self?   Would you be willing to spend 15 minutes telling your story to a group of teen youth?   If yes, please read on....   I volunteer with two groups of teen youth that are currently in residential programs. One group is all teen boys the other all teen girls. I am looking for a small group of women to speak with the girls and a small group of men to speak with the boys. I envision an evening event in which each person tells their story for 10 minutes and answers questions for 5 minutes. This would likely take place in late January 2010.
