We've set the date for 2008!

For the first time, we now have Title

our kids.

Special Fun for all!
Hood River WaterPlay
is providing
2 Wind Surfing Simulators; one for young kids, the other
for bigger (and considerably older) kids.
And our $1,000
Club contributor for 2008 is growing!!

We have a very special Silent Auction item:
A guitar singed by Patrick Lamb,
Linda Hornbuckle,
Norman Sylvester
and Michael Allen Harrison.
John Kay of Steppenwolf had agreed to
sign another guitar;
we weren't able to get request in to Gibson Guitars in time.
We hope to offer that for our 2009 event.
In the meantime, most
of these folks have their own Foundations,
PLEASE check them out and help support them
as they support us!
And this is what
it's all about...
Award Winning Thanks to:
Columbia Motorcycle Harley Davidson,
for donating a HUGE $$$ amount to help us
donate more to the kids! They were (again) by far the single largest
contributor to helping make the event a success. You guys and gals at
Columbia ROCK!
Our hosts at the checkpoints provided us
with very welcome hot coffee, great food and a friendly atmosphere. We
hope you'll visit them and thank them with your patronage.
Stagecoach Saloon, 20101 NE Sandy Blvd.,

Springdale Tavern, 32303 Historic Columbia River Highway, 503-695-2676
Gateway Pub, 39100 Pioneer Blvd., 503-701-6237
Carver Hangar, 16196 SE Highway 224, 503-658-2576
Pub 181, 18415 SE Division, 503-666-4457
We must also extend Special Thanks again this year to:
Hollywood Impress,
Email here, 503-233-1888, 4717 SE Division, Portland. Jay and Darice hopped on board as soon as they were asked! Thanks for donating a
lot of our printed materials!
Witham and Dickey,
for donating all 3500 raffle tickets!!
Daily Journal of Commerce 2006 brought the
first year of major participation by the DJC; watch for our ads starting a
couple weeks prior to the run. Their coverage will be a great addition!
And finally, the previously most "under-thanked" publication, the
Northwest Labor Press. They have
been with us from the beginning and have given good coverage every year.
With the DJC reaching out to (mostly) business groups and the Labor Press
reaching out Union members, this is the best of both worlds...
and finally, PacWest Communications,
their help with professional touches in layout, design and helping us get press
coverage is essential to keep us going and growing!
Unions for Kids is proud to be working with Team
Oregon; please visit them at
http://teamoregon.orst.edu
We were asked a few times about the info we
gather on the waiver or registration forms. We do not and will not give,
sell, or otherwise provide that information to anyone!
Please email
Lee Duncan with comments, suggestions
or to volunteer on committee or at next year's event. Thanks
again.
