The Democratic PCPs (precinct committee people) of precinct 1013 (NW Portland) sponsored a debate between the remaining three candidates for the Democratic nomination for Secretary of State on Saturday.

California-based freight shipping company Con-Way announced it will donate as much as $40,000 so that Friendly House, an 80-year-old shelter for homeless families, can pay its mortgage.

After working for two years on a bid to create a new family-oriented community center in Portland's Northwest River District, Zimmerman Community Center learned this past May that they were unable to secure the City land and support needed to make their dream a reality in the near future.

This signaled the end of a two year effort on the part of ZCC's board and a group of community partners including Central City Concern, Friendly House, Peninsula Children's Center, and Ecotrust. Despite this setback, ZCC will continue to pursue its mission of building community across the socio-economic spectrum in the River District.

ZCC has hired Nancy Davis, a River District resident, parent and co-founder of Central Portland Families, as a part time community organizer to carry on the effort to make the River District a family-friendly, mixed income community. Davis' work will include outreach and organizing with families in the neighborhood, coordinating efforts to create affordable family-friendly play spaces, and organizing a grassroots advocacy campaign to leverage the resources and political support necessary to make the River District a viable place to live for the growing number of families with children living and working downtown.
