Please let us know who will be accepting the award in Art’s honor. Please contact Teckla Anderson at (503) 823-3881 or teckla.anderson@ci.portland.or.us with that information.
The Connecting Communities event will run from 4:30pm – 7:30pm. The awards will be presented at approximately 5:30pm by members from the Portland City Council and Multnomah County Chair Wheeler. I am including a flyer regarding the event. Please RSVP by September 30th to Rebecca Clements at (503) 261-1266. Let her know that you are with the City of Portland “Making a Difference” awards.
