The Training industry is one that is especially good at segmentation. We have institutionalized specialization and segmentation by Job Title, by Industry, by Function, and by any other delimiter that we have been able to identify because in each instance, “it’s different here.”

Love. Betrayal. Redemption. Experience Mozart's Grand Mass and excerpts from Wagner's Lohengrin with the Portland Symphonic Choir. Inspired in a time of love, loss and at the heart of a bitter father and son feud lies Mozart's most ambitious sacred music. Wolfgang Mozart created this breathtaking work for his beloved wife, Constanze, a piece that that ultimately brought the family back together.

The Portland Symphonic Choir is proud to present the glorious Grand Mass in C Minor by Mozart. The concert also features Wagner's beloved Wedding March. The Portland Symphonic Choir is accompanied by the Oregon Symphony. The concert is Saturday, September 25 at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall at 7:30. For tickets call 503-228-1353 or visit us at www.pschoir.org.

2010 New Nonprofit Leaders BootCamp [email protected], 503.725.8221

Coming to Portland State University this October 14-16 -- 3 FULL DAYS OF LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT.

WORKSHOPS AND SESSIONS ON LEADERSHIP, RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT, COMMUNICATIONS AND MORE. PLUS - SPECIAL SESSIONS FOR BOARD MEMBERS W/ THEIR EXECS

This year’s BootCamp is special, as we focus on turning crisis into opportunity. We will put an emphasis on strategy development, scenario planning and competitive analysis. Plus, you’ll learn, develop a short-term plan of action, have an opportunity to work with your board, and have access to ongoing peer support and expert coaching. BootCamp Topics include:

Plant native trees and shrubs with SOLV at Estacada High School on Saturday, October 2nd! We will be working along Wade and Curran Creeks from 9:00am to 12:00pm rain or shine, and all tools, gloves and supplies will be provided. By planting native trees and shrubs, volunteers will be lowering stream temperatures and creating an ecosystem that will filter polluted stormwater runoff, improve water quality, provide better habitat for wildlife, and be more resilient to climate change.

After 5 major plantings in 11 years, thousands of plastic tree protectors at La Center Bottoms need to be removed before they slip into the Lewis River. Team up with Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation, SOLV, La Center schools and Public Works Wetland Stewardship Department to help wrap up the restoration projects and learn about your local ecosystem.

When: Saturday September 25, 9:-1:00

What: Light Breakfast & Wetland clean-up (tools & gloves provided)

Where: La Center Bottoms Stewardship Site (NW La Center Rd, just south of the city center and east of Lewis River)

VOLUNTEER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR COMMUNITY

DID YOU KNOW? • Hardworking Oregonians spend hundreds of dollars on tax preparation? • Many fall prey to predatory lenders selling high-cost loans advertised as “fast refunds.” • 25% of eligible Oregonians miss tax credits intended to offer immediate help. • The average family or individual we helped last year made just over $20,000 in income and received 1,300 in federal refunds with FREE tax preparation. • These dollars made a real difference to 15,800 hard working Oregonians and to the cash drawers of local businesses. • Thousands of your hardworking neighbors still need help.

Friends of Trees crew leaders guide small groups of planters at Saturday plantings, are invaluable to our mission of growing healthy communities, and wear the best orange vests. If you’ve considered getting more involved with Friends of Trees, now is your chance!

Our annual trainings are just around the corner in November. Be sure to pre-register below as these trainings are always popular and space is limited. Everyone who attends a training will receive free coffee and breakfast pastries, and a coveted Friends of Trees organic cotton Tree Team t-shirt.
