Want to support the cause, but can't go to the game? There are several deserving students with young children who have worked tirelessly with the National Nursing Network Organization who cannot afford to purchase tickets for their family. If you would like to help by buying a ticket and putting it in a child's name to be picked up at the game, please contact Teri Mills at 503-320-2385.

Thank you for your support Oregon schools, healthcare, and the safety of our communities!
Thank you for helping to pass Ballot Measures 66 and 67

A note of congratulations from PCC Federation of Faculty and Academic Presidents President Eddie Lincoln:
The recent election was a watershed moment for our union, for PCC, and for our students. I am so proud of the work that members contributed to this campaign. I believe this was the largest get out the vote campaign in Oregon's history and many of us were part of that effort. Thank you. And thank you to those of you who contributed by speaking to family and neighbors or by contributing money to this effort. Thank you so much.
With the passage of Measure #66 and #67, we can look forward to a productive special legislative session in February and hopefully we can get farther down this road for more sustainable funding for public education in Oregon, in good times and bad, something we have been lacking for these many years.
Thank you to our national union, AFT and to AFT-Oregon for providing the support needed so that our efforts could be utilized and concentrated where it could help most in this huge educational and Get out the Vote effort. I am sure January 26, 2010 will be long remembered and celebrated.
Once again thanks to everyone who contributed time, money and energy for the successful passage of Measures 66 and 67. It is a great day for Oregon and its citizens.
