<DIV>Oregon Poet Laureate</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Fewer and fewer states have a Poet Laureate.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No other state has a Cultural Trust.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Without our Cultural Trust, I couldn't be speaking to you as our Poet Laureate. Without our Cultural Trust, Oregon wouldn't have a Poet Laureate. Period.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A truly visionary concept, our Cultural Trust embodies Oregon's passion for supporting its arts and culture organizations. We are the only state-the one and only-to have a Cultural Trust. Our Trust is unique, singular-literally.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Make your own singular voice, the singular voice of your organization heard. Speak up for arts ands culture. Speak out for Oregon's heart. Please donate today.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
