<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma>The Winter Oregon Main Street Network Meeting and Training will be in Salem on January 24-25, 2013. The network meeting is typically open to just the top two tier communities. We are opening this network meeting up to other network communities as we will have a "mini-training" with an attorney specializing in non-profit law. This is a topic that is pertinent to the entire network so we want to encourage all to attend. The "mini-training" will be 3-5 p.m.</FONT></DIV>
