1. Reminder that the applications are due this week, June 15, for the
Oregon Heritage Preservation Scholarship. 
Would you like to attend a preservation-related conference, workshop,
or training in the next year? The Oregon Heritage Preservation
Scholarship provides financial assistance for Oregon residents to attend
a preservation-related conference, workshop, or training in the United
States between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013. Eligible travel expenses
include registration fees, transportation, lodging and meals. 
 
Scholarships will be offered to those actively involved in local
preservation efforts and who demonstrate how attendance at a
preservation-related conference, workshop, or training will help meet
the preservation needs of their local community.
 
Scholarships are competitive and offered twice per year. The first
round deadline is June 15.

2. Please forward the information below to business owners and other
interested individuals. I was asked by a business owner after a Main
Street Overview presentation last night how they might get visual
merchandising and store display assistance. I mentioned our upcoming 
Making Your Main Street Stores Pop! workshop - they were thrilled
to learn they could participate for free.

Sheri,

I enjoyed your talk last night in Independence. I'm Maggie, owner of
Petals & Vines in Monmouth. I'm very interested in taking the class on
window display. If there are any other classes I can take, I would
appreciate an update or schedule.  I went online at the city website and
couldn't find any information. I find this extremely frustrating.  I am
hopeful that there will be some interest in forming a group in Monmouth.
It will take some time. Thanks for your interest and your
encouragement.
Maggie
