<span id=":2fj" class="hP">On Saturday October 9th, a big yellow
school bus will drive us around to Low Brow Lounge, Produce Row,
Landmark Saloon and Radio Room. Local trivia master, Shan Rock,
will lead us in rounds of trivia as we eat, drink and make merry.
It's only $30 to participate, the money goes to a great cause and
it's a really fun time!<br>
<br>
First Book is a great organization that grants book-buying money
to local Portland organizations such as Early Head Start and West
Women's Shelter. The purpose of the grants is to purchase books
for low-income children. The kids actually get to own the books
and take them home which is often a rarity for them. There's a
huge demand for the grants so we're doing our best to raise money
for next year's grant cycle. More information can be found at <a
